News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[marni1971]

That's pretty big. Does anyone know whether it'll be go-away-green or will it actually be stylized on the outside?

The berm is being worked on and more mature trees and being planted as we speak.

I wouldn't put it past them, unfortunately, to just paint it green. IJA's show building in Disneyland is clearly visible as you approach the park from the west side, just a giant green brick with a wavy roof. Though there is an argument to be made about in-park/out-of-park views.

I presume you're referring to the tram ride in from the parking structure? Otherwise, walking in through Downtown Disney I believe the views are blocked out pretty well by its buildings. From the South, they did an okay job of dressing it up.

On one hand, it's no Pandora, but it's much better than when it opened. Then it really was just a green box, with a security booth perched on the corner to watch the old parking lot. (Here's a long-shot, but you can get the idea.)

I might stop by Epcot today just to check it out.

I watched it this Saturday, my guests thought it was a recent production but to me, it seemed 70’s.

I don't see any ladders so this thing ain't happening.

I think cranes beat ladders though, and there's some pretty big cranes in those pictures.

Ladders > cranes

Ladders > cranes

Cranes = ladders as there are ladders inside the cranes.

Measuring the height of Rat in Paris, it was definitely taller than the buildings in Epcot's France, and the picture confirms it...

What is the ginormous white, tent structure behind the United Kingdom?

What is the ginormous white, tent structure behind the United Kingdom?

That is the former Millenium Village.

 

[MisterPenguin]

And currently used for private events or adjunct festival events.

Why, thank you Sir!

Much obliged!

It's kind of neat matching up the construction to the blueprints of the Paris version... you can clearly see the maintenance bay (Green), the opening scene projection screen (Red) where Remy and Gusteau are talking before Remy falls into the kitchen, and the projection screen for the scene (Yellow) after the refrigerator where you are under the stove. (also seems to indicate that the steel framework currently up is only about 1/2 of the full show building).

Or maybe we are only getting half of the ride?

I'm kidding, of course. At least I hope I'm kidding!

I miss the teddy bear and doll festival

Well, we're not getting the restaurant part of the building from Paris, but the part that is missing currently is load/unload, so I would expect that to be added, as it's kind of important to the experience.

I hold one in my bedroom every Friday night!

What you have highlighted in green is actually the second floor cast break area and some support rooms. The maintenance bay is below it on the ground floor.
