News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[BoarderPhreak]

I didn't realize how close boardwalk is to world showcase!

Oh, big time! And why I love staying at the Swan... A short walk and you're in.

So in the last year and a half, very little has actually changed... Looks like they just moved around some dirt. Or?

its really annoying to see that big show building for Japan in these photos yet never been used beyond storage.

Germany has suffered the same fate. So sad.

Germany’s not got a show building. More like a load building.

 

[BoarderPhreak]

When did Japan get blue paint on its roofs?

They always did, IIRC, and certainly by 1983. Close-ups, here in 2012 and 2013, respectively:

Yeah, true... They never got past the front area.

I love your early EPCOT photos Martin. Thanks for sharing!

 

[ToTBellHop]

Looks gold to me.

Ok, ok, I feel stupid enough for not realizing, after 35 years, that Japan has blue roofs. But, please, don't let that stop anyone from posting old EPCOT Center pictures.

You know that "coffee table book" you've mentioned you should put together some day? With the wealth of information and material you have, will there be a coffee table sturdy enough to handle it??? Maybe it will need to be more encyclopedia-like - Vol 1, Vol 2... Vol 472. I'd certainly buy a book case dedicated to it!

Hadn't seen Ratatouille for a long time but it was on over the weekend on the Disney channel. I guess is from the rat's point of view avoiding running into things, cooks, getting boiled, etc. in the kitchen?

Something I put together:

A little late in replying but thank you. This is so much easier to see than just plain black and white. I couldn't make rat head or tail of the B/W versions.

Right now a “new” France film is pencilled for 2020. This has only appeared quite recently so what the scope of it is I don’t know.

I have recently had IDF covered in the best possible quality for posterity just in case

As long as new film has same sound track. Can't do better than the soaring orchestral music of this film.

Question regarding rat ride: Does the ride use scent cannons for additional 4D immersion? I ask because this type of ride is ideal for that technology and it's fitting of the subject matter; a rat that can sniff out the perfect ingredients used to create fine French cuisine.

I don't particularly like Ratatouille the movie, but since WS needs more rides, I guess this is good news.

I like your name on here mr disney junkie well done!!

If not for the ride's benefit I'm sure the smells could also be used to wet our appetites so we dine at the adjoined restaurant. This sounds like a nobrainer for Disney. If I'm going to be shrunk down to the size of a rat I should be able to smell like a rat (that didn't come out right)

Looks gold to me.

now that's a reference I wish I would forget

The project wasn’t even approved a year and a half ago. Permits for site work were only filed not that long ago.

Ahh, true. I had a feeling. That explains that.
