News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[WDWtraveler]

Photo update as of Saturday, January 5, 2019. It's been a while since this view was posted, from the Friendship boat pier at the International Gateway of Epcot. Lots of infrastructure in the upper part of the building, above the ride space.

I hope they circle back to the B&B ride down the road and one day add it to Fantasyland in MK. Can't they use Enchanted Tales with Belle as a queue space and build this ride behind her cottage????? A guy can dream =)

I feel like we’ll get the ride eventually. I wish we were getting it now too. It looks amazing.

Pretty surprised by how expansive the new plaza is. Extends much farther under the gondolas than I would have thought. Nice.

That's gonna be a pretty cool area when it's finished, I'm thinking.

The plaza will be around a third of the dirt area.

Nice post! Looking forward to see the other angle with the atraction’s facade.

Are they going to theme (camouflage) the backstage area from the gondola, to any degree? I imagine they'll use trees to shield at least. I'm guessing bare minimum.

The gondola towers and the station across the waterway looks to be in clear view of this new courtyard. At least the theming of the gondola station is of French architecture.

Ohh all the memories of walking down the streets of Paris as gondolas fly above (not). That'll be the worst part, imo. Forget the Eiffel.

Perfect. That will leave space for the Hogwarts Express type transport directly into DHS and vice versa. In the future. Someday. If they're smart.

I don’t know where you get your dillusions, laser brain.

Yeah, it'll all be weird for a while, no doubt. I was actually thinking about the back corner of rat, the service road and further into the backstage areas that are in view (now).

Just imagine they're hot air balloons and you'll feel just like you're at the Paris World's fair.

Suggestions for the Infinity Stones coaster?

Well didn't @marni1971 allude way back to a non-gondola transport into DHS, coming roughly from the parking area? (Not from Epcot, of course, but
something mysterious nonetheless.)

I missed that one. Sounds like a possible light rail proposal. I personally think joining the parks by Hogwarts type connections would be much more efficient. Might be that they would be too popular though.

What kind (other than a dark ride description) will this be? On par with what other ride in WDW?

There are no similar trackless rides currently open at Walt Disney World. It will utilize a number of large screens for much of the ride. It’s been open at Walt Disney Studios Park for a few years now if you want to see what it is like.

He was referring to this new mode of transport...

Ha, the $350 "You Can Fly" lunch package!

Not too far away from reality.
