EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[Chester&Hester Enthusiast]

Its installation in Paris and many rides disagree on your point. Its just not that type of ride, no matter how much we want it to be. Its very tech heavy, making it expensive, but its not a a high speed thrill ride, nor is it made to be height restricted.

Its just a futuristic upgrade of the old school dark rides. Cost/size is irrelevant here, what is relevant is scale and scope, which is limited and medium, placing it solidly into a c/d range.

I'm fairly certain this was meant to be a headliner when it was built. They even constructed an entire mini "land" around it.

Disney will definitely be marketing this as a major new addition to Epcot.

To Disney, it’s an E.

It also had to be approved by the banks that held Euro Disney SCA’s debt. What banker is going to approve a C-Ticket that costs too much? This was supposed to be the park’s Space Mountain.

Its not like we don't have five years of knowledge of the ride...We know exactly what it is. On the other side of marketing, yeah...its a big addition, just because its the first real addition to WS since Maelstrom. We have had two rethemes, but this is the first actual new thing to do.

If anyone was wondering what @marni1971 was talking about as far as the “old FP system” was...

Oh wow, so Paris has 30 minute windows? I kinda like that idea. I can't quite remember that well but I feel like WDW always had 1 hour windows, even with the legacy system.

99% of the time, the window was just "after the start time". You could walk up two hours later and they would let you on.

hé, I was there on 16/06...
Man, the pathway to Rock 'n Rollercoaster was one sad trip... I can't imagine what it wil be like when they close RNR for the re-theming.

Not to mention a wonderful paean to the multiplane camera.

Neat word

Its trying to be a kid friendly ride in a part of the park that has almost nothing to offer a child.

But WS has an infinite amount of things to do for kids! For kids who need to be entertained by more than a video of some character.

World showcase was never a bastion of child joy...Granted, Future World always was, but WS has always had problems with children. If they can put a ride or two back there, fine by me.

But what about the rest of them ?

 

[Bender123]

But what about the rest of them ?

You mean the kids who don't like shopping, drinking and sit down meals? I loved American Adventure, El Rio, O Canada and Impressions de France, but outside those, the rest of WS were museum areas that were easily bested by almost any local museum.

Call kids dumb all you want, but Epcot needs "stuff" to do that will justify charging the same price as the other parks. Right now, WS is basically a shopping mall with a really high cover charge.

Frankly, yes, as a kid I clamoured for 'one more ride' in WS. (But Maelstrom, Rhine River...). In FW I could've lived.

Who cares? Should a library built a games arcade because not all kids like to read?

Send the uninterested kids to a theme park with foamheads, playgrounds, superhero thrill rides and toon screen rides and....and...wait...

Thanks for your report!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't find the floor and screen edges distracting. My experience is that the floor is physically visible (particularly from certain seats), but it's not distracting nor does it take you out of the attraction. I guess if you went in thinking about the floor it might jump out at you. If you just go with the flow of the attraction, though, it's very fun and immersive.

I also like the way the vehicles move and weave around the attraction!

Having been on this attraction 3 times in one day, I came away falling in love with its charm. I did notice the floors, but they didn't bother me. In fact, I think part of the reason the floors are visible is that most of the projection from the kitchen scenes are bright and white, and that illuminates almost any flaw. Transformers is the opposite, dark night films do not illuminate the surroundings.

Libraries actually do have games, comics and movies...You fail to realize that WDW is primarily a family vacation area and a significant portion of the people there have kids. Have all the high minded ideals that you want, but Im sure surveys have shown that people are avoiding Epcot for the shocking lack of activities for children.

Sorry, but bars, restaurants and a thin coating of museum is not worth a $125 ticket for a family.

But kids love acrobatic mimes with non-stop whistles!!
