EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

Schroedinger's Bus. If you let the kid go pee, the bus would have arrived. Since you didn't, it didn't.

I just let him pee in the back of the bus so it would smell like the monorail.

Alright you got me there. I should’ve stuck with my original point of it is MORE immersive when you do not see the lake rather than the lake ruins the immersion entirely.

Immersion is more than just not seeing some things. You keep going on about not seeing World Showcase Lagoon as though the bathroom, Skyliner and Crescent Lake is some great addition that really adds to being a distinct place. The biggest building in the space is the back wall of the theater, something you will only be able to look at.

I guess you also forgot the difference between a lake and a river.

No, I haven’t. Buhbye.

Paris just needs to build a city-wide gondola system and add lakes. Problem solved!

Let the kid use the bathroom and then use the app to time the next bus while you wait in an air conditioned room.

But if a bus leaves POP's station at 9:32 am going 12 MPH while another bus leaves MK at 9:34 am traveling at 15 MPH, while factoring in the average of 1.6 gallons of water required to be in every toilet in the U.S. divided by a * b with a being the total amount of battery life left in the phone using the app and b being the drop in bladder capacity. Solve for x.

That gondola in World Showcase Lagoon made the Italy Pavilion terrible for decades. Ain’t no lagoons in Rome!

Canada, hot in November! Ugh!

Sun in London!

And the France Pavilion doesn't smell like a toilet! I demand 100% from my World's Fair Esq representations!

And I have yet to encounter a pickpocketer at the France pavilion, and there is no river there, only a lake out front. I DEMAND 1000000% REALISM!!!

Ok, back on topic now.

There is kind of a river running beside the pavilion.

That's in seine!

That is not a river. That is the cleverly designed representation of the English Channel separating France from England. If you claim that's a river than it's breaking it's originally designed purpose which is destroying the immersion of the land. YOU'RE DESTROYING THE IMMERSION AND AT THE SAME TIME MY NOSTALGIA, HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!

This is a textbook example of finding fault for the sake of finding fault.

Bingo!

There will now be a river next to the road to Rat “out back”. Enhanced realism, if anything.

I thought it was the pseudo seine lol

@marni1971 it sounds like this is ahead is schedule? Any reason? How far ahead?

There has been discussion here as to how Rat can be improved. The question I have (not having ridden it) is whether there are truly simple tweaks to make it better? I would assume (ha!) that TWDC would be aware that something could be better and that a simple modification would be easy - especially in a new build.

So if it would be easy to do better, then why not? I don't believe that Disney is lazy, for the most part.

Finding a way to projection map onto the floor would be the biggest change I'd vote for.

Would it need to be a projection map - since I assume that would be blocked by the cars and project on the riders. What about simply theming the floor, if that is what is needed?

edit: I suppose since they may take different paths, then it would be difficult to theme entirely, but what about the edges of the screens?

Ive heard that too. I’ve asked.

Painting the floor would help but since you see the floor in the animated segments ideally you'd want the floor you're on to move with it. Projection mapping could easily project around the cars.
