News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[EricsBiscuit]

Can someone orient me with what we're looking at here? Is everything pictured a new build on the plot between France and Morocco. I'm not placing any existing France landmarks on these plans but I'm also dumb.

Where is the attraction entrance in relation to the existing France Pavilion?

The big shaded square is the Rat ride. The entrance is facing the direction of the waterway. The concept art is from the waterway to the facade of the attraction. The attraction is on entirely new area. It for a change is not replacing anything.

In the art, the building on your left is the back side of the theater. The little building in the foreground is the left most square hatched area in the plan. Nothing in the existing pavilion is being removed or replaced. The rendering is looking from the upper left corner towards the lower right. The big empty sort of area (what you may be referring to as the peninsula, is the existing pavilion.

I'm sure I'm misunderstanding your explanation, but this makes 0 sense to me. I'm thinking if someone can post a link to the acutal SFWMD permit I can look at the full size PDF and get a better idea.

Perhaps a better question is the orientation of the corridor of people that leads to the attraction. What's really throwing me is the placement of the Eiffel Tower in the concept art. where it looks like the attraction is going right next to it.

You walk around the west side of the pavilion to get to the attraction.

This is roughly the attraction entrance. The drawings are oriented with north to the top just like the satellite imagery.

A new South Florida Water Management district permit was filed that shows the details of this project...

I know I've asked this before, but I can't find it (sorry), but can you give a link so I can grab a high resolution version? Thanks!

So is the Kitchen Calamity Facade basically where the boat is in this photo?

No, it's where I dropped the pin. You walk past the boat, around the back of theater and to the attraction.

Oh wow, ok I wasn't expecting that much of a walk around the attraction outside of the queue. Thank you.

The Eiffel Tower is in a slightly different location in the concept art then where it is now.

Here is the placement of the buildings on a flat Google Earth. The black arrows is where guests walk to get to the RatRide.

Zoomed in a bit with 3D mapping...

Here is a view matching the artist's concept...

That's because in the art it's far away in the distance, on the ground.

Like it theoretically is

Don't worry you'll understand in 2 1/2 years

 

[aladdin2007]

what about the exit? do you go back and all the way around the pavilion again like the entrance, or will it exit it out next to france on that side between France and Morocco?

You go around.

Also, I believe that they will be making a second entrance to the courtyard through the back of the Impressions dump shop. More or less making the France Pavillion a giant circle.

Dump shop? It actually has some cool merch! I just got a DLPR 25th anniversary mug there a month ish ago.

 

[EricsBiscuit]

Dump shop meaning its the shop where Guests are "dumped" into after the show, not that its a literal dump.

Ahhh that makes sense! Out here in Vegas it's 7:07 AM rn.

Edit: and there's no good Cuban coffee joints out here to compound my troubles. Anyways, thanks for the insight.

That's becoming a bit of an issue. It'll either interfere with existing emergency egress / access or severely curtail the turning circle of the new service road.

That may be needed for throughput. IIRC, Kitchen Calamity has ~2000 guest per hour, right?
