News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

[eddie104]

Good grief Disney!!!
This and CLEARLY seeing the giant rat building across the lagoon. Both The height of lazy design. Sadly more normal than not these days with Disney.

It’s clearly not done yet so no need to jump to conclusions

This. Nothing wrong with feeling disappointed if they don’t bother to blend the show building with its surroundings, but I think we need to wait ‘til they’ve finished construction before complaining

They showbuilding is pre-finished insulated metal panels. Just like over at Sausalito, they are the finished exterior wall product and are not intended to be painted or have stuff built onto them. Anything added would be after the fact because they realized they screwed up.

Unless any added material is built onto the Moroccan facade itself, not the Rat building. Then the Rat building will be easier to blend in from the lagoon side with additional plants.

It would still be an after the fact addition. You can’t just place something of that size on a roof.

They could always station a CM there holding Moroccan themed balloons.

Didn't say it wouldn't be.

You just figured out how to squeeze Up into the Moroccan Pavilion! You earn 10 Iger Bucks!

Thanks! I’ll be here all week.

 

[marni1971]

You'll know it's done when they've moved the Eiffel Tower.

That options been dropped thankfully.

There will also be a replacement wall of trees returning behind the flower mural to mask the back of the new small eatery and to some extent the Rat Courtyard from the IG area.

 

[marni1971]

You say thankfully they aren't moving the tower. Have they found other ways to address the sightlines? I don't think the trees you are talking about would impact the view of the tower from the new courtyard.

The courtyard sight lines should be obscured using structures, decor and dressing. The view from the skyliner was a problem they thought was worth living with.

The trees I mentioned will aid sightlines from the IG and associated walkway.

I’m at WDW this week and there are fresh plantings behind the floral.

 

[Horizons '83]

Well I'm glad they are planting trees back because the view now isn't so nice.

Well, it IS a construction zone

From yesterday

Some late night updates (nothing much):

 

[Sped2424]

Construction has really puttered along for this project! I wonder if they are ahead of schedule at all.

They are.

 

[BEARSHOUSE4]

They are.

ANY chance they’re theyre speeding this up in anticipation of the closure of spaceship earth? Going in January and the activity is both worrisome and exciting

I don’t think there’s a particular goal beyond “Epcot has been dead for three years and needs a new E-ticket!”

Well, there's also: We don't want Epcot's numbers to be less than DHS's.
