News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I thought WE decided to call it "IPcot"?
I believe it was confirmed that in building the Skyliner, Imagineering accepted that sight lines didn’t have to be considered from the gondolas.

I live for these posts... And it's even more hilarious that Disney doesn't/can't really respond to these to defend themselves or poke back some fun given their company image!

That's a shame but I'm not surprised.
I think it's the only sightline that is desperate to be addressed on the Skyliner.

I keep saying that some trees could do wonders in hiding a bit of it. It wouldn’t fully block everything, but would at least create a bit of a visual distraction.

I do find it interesting that Avengers Campus is opening on June 4th, roughly a month and a week after Disneyland reopens following a 14ish month closure and a year after its initial opening date, whereas Ratatouille is going to open roughly a year and a quarter after its original opening timeframe, despite the Orlando parks only being closed for a few months.
I'd say the most likely reason, is that the majority of Californians will be vaccinated by June. Secondly, since the expansion is an entire land, it can add a sizable amount of capacity to the park, and thus, increase the number of people allowed through the gates. If my brain serves me right, Epcot has the highest capacity of any of the Florida parks, so the Ratatouille expansion would create a marginal boost.
Also, it is opening 6 days before Velocicoaster. I guess Disney wants some buzz.
Really glad to see a Disney project opening up though!

To be fair they didn't seem to bother when they had the Skyway in the MK. 20,000 Leagues track and show building clearly visible. The not so nice roof tops of various buildings along with IASW and HM show buildings on display also.

Funny how Disney is opening up a Universal type ride (Ratatouille) and Universal opening up a Disney type ride (Secret Life of Pets). I'm pleasantly surprised how good the ride is and the queue is well done. I'm more attached to the Ratatouille IP since it's my favorite Pixar movie but good job to Universal,

Charming and fun!
Hopefully the plans for SLOP in USF come to fruition - though they may have to get in the queue.

It’d be a great replacement for some outdated segments in Kidzone.
It’d be a great replacement for something elsewhere too

.....Kidzone, fear factor, Seuss landing, toon lagoon...It’d be a great replacement for something elsewhere too
...I’m purposely not saying Poseidon’s Fury because I love that useless attraction.
Shrek or Toon Lagoon theatre.

Ohh... dang. Shrek would have been perfect it seems. The toon lagoon theatre also would have made sense since they were selling products over there.
Hmm. I dont know why they’d be rejected. Seems like a no brainer.
According to the plans, it fitted like a glove.

WDW is already filling to its capacity well and needs a 50th draw.
For DL, the calculus is different. They’ve been closed a long time and want a draw to pull people back after so long. They purposely picked a date close to when restrictions reduce and out-of-state people can return.

My son loves Shrek (Puss in Boots, really). I hope (and assume) there won't be any changes before we go in the Summer
