News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
One would assume queue and crowding.
If not for Covid, Rat would have had two positives - Giving people another reason to visit the back of World Showcase and taking people in and off the walkways where they would otherwise be buying overpriced snack-sized portions of fancy shmancy food. Oh wait...
Pre-Covid, I said this would have been a solid high D / low E ticket that would have drawn large numbers of people. Now... not so much. Not entirely of their own doing, but this was really a fumble. One could argue “wrong time, wrong park”.

I remember a time when I was being optimistic that this could open in March. Of 2020.

I know they don’t compare in the slightest. Wouldn’t it be wise for them to open an attraction to maybe take some of the attention off Velocicoaster. Not saying, they are comparable in any sense but if I was Disney I would be trying to open things. Especially with the 50th.

There’s no question that it will open by 10-1-21. The question is, do they open in Spring because it can or do they pick a date in the summer. I gather they want to see a few more weeks of covid numbers. That bump a couple weeks back spooked them.

I agree, no question they won’t sit on an attraction for that long. The thing that makes me wonder is that it seems Universal is content with opening their mega E ticket soon. I don’t think they announced a date yet but judging by their constant teasing and testing it seems to be soon. Why aren’t Disney ok with opening an attraction as well?
Is it only optics? Is it crowding fears? Maybe a bit of both. I can understand them wanting to see more data but nothing stops them from announcing a timeframe or season.

Let’s hope not...

No doubt it’s been tested I am just questioning their philosophy on opening a new attraction so late in the game.
It would be, but... The Bob’s subscribe to the Blue Ocean theory in Orlando, or at least did.

That is crazy, am I the only one thinking that?
EDIT: Had a feeling something would be announced.
