I never knew this existed, what has been seen can't be unseen!

You and me both.

Well played

They should have put up the photo scrims then.

It would be hilarious if they put an enormous tarp over the entire construction site with an aerial view of the old backstage area painted on it.

I wonder how @marni1971 feels about this? I'm sure he really doesn't want to remember that the most.

He's editing his 25th Anniversary Barbie Birthday retrospective as we speak.

Hey @wdwmagic - with this project officially underway is it time for an Epcot revitalization subforum?

 

[danlb_2000]

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

 

[danlb_2000]

The plans show what will be in the new area behind the current France pavilion. It just shows a restroom and an extended queue area for the ride.

I was back there friday on a tour, it's just an excavator on top of its native dirt mound right now.

Interesting. The extended queue area was originally for stroller parking.

Maybe they're going to ban strollers from Epcot. Or maybe not.

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?

 

[GCTales]

I think you got it pretty close, and they seem to be fitting the kioks around the existing "stupid trees", but the perspective of that concept art is a little funky. Going by the blueprint the new Rat show-building will connect with an alley way that's already in place between the "Impressions de France" building and a storage/office/lounge type of building on the back corner of the existing pavilion, which I drew over in red here. The only loss seems to be the Bistro/Pastries shop "Les Halles Boulangeries-Pastisserie". I also put a white circle where the new fountain is in the concept art. It all looks pretty nice, I just wish it were the "Beauty and the Beast" show-building instead, but "C'est la vie"

This should help

My placement of the Rat ride is based on and has been commented on and adjusted by our insiders in the know. It fits in the fire lanes of the permits. You can have a fairly good confidence of its position, give a few meters here or there.

It’s the back side of the existing pavilion with the showbuilding between the two pavilions.

OK, that's all well and good, but the orientation of the concept art is still confusing.

The back of that concept art is the attraction facade (I didn't notice before, but it does say Kitchen Calamity on it). Is that attraction facade going where the shops currently reside (Plume Et Palette, La Signature)?

Then looking at the permit, I don't know what the small peninsula thing is. Basically where is this image in relation to the rest of the pavilion.

I'm impatiently waiting... What do I pay you for?

I'm impatiently waiting... What do I pay you for?

To serve a garden tea party and the soft shoe.

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.
