A Very Frosty Christmas - Ravenclaw
All of the shops and restaurants along Hollywood Boulevard, Echo Lake, and Sunset Boulevard will have snow machines on top as well as icicles with color changing abilities instead of dancing lights to give it a distinction from the Osborne Spectacle of Dancing Lights. They will not dance to music, but will instead make it truly feel like a cold Winter.
Right in front of the Great Movie Ride, where the Sorcerer's Hat once stood, behind the stage, a massive Christmas Tree will be put up that will be used as projection mapping for the nightly Christmas themed dance party with a dj on the stage, and a Christmas Fireworks show showcasing Donald Duck, and Chip and Dale that will replace The Star Wars fireworks show for the Christmas Season. The fireworks show will also see Donald Duck being dressed in winter clothing come out at the finale of the show.
Here is similar to how the projection mapping will be just on a much, much larger scale:
The Tower of Terror will be the only attraction to receive a Christmas overlay. The Tower of Terror will also be the only ride exterior to have icicles like the buildings in HB, EL, & SB. The ride itself will have gifts, and a Christmas Tree in the Hotel's Lobby.
Last but not least The Rockettes will also have a 15 minute show on the stage in front of The Great Movie Ride that will showcase the best parts of the actual show. It will replace the Star Wars show for the Christmas Season. It will use projection mapping as well on the Christmas Tree. Throughout the park Hot Chocolate will be sold at every restaurant, and food stand.
This is all to truly make you feel like you are in Hollywood during Christmas. Except with Snow of course
And no additional price will be charged for this as the park is so small as it is, and needs as much as it can get especially during the ultra busy Christmas Season.

A Frosty Christmas: Ravenclaw
Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios is Mickey's Christmas Carol Parade. A nighttime parade throughout the streets of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard that will celebrate the holiday season with festive celebrations with your favorite cast of characters. The lineup will include Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and others in their holiday gear. There will be snow coming from the top of the buildings to add to the holiday cheer. This will be a temporary nighttime parade until the construction in the park is complete, but will hopefully add a new spin on the holidays for the guests.

A Frosty Christmas- Gryffindor Submission
"Have you ever wondered how it all gets done? How Santa gets in and out of millions of homes all in one night? Let's just say he has a little help...."
Join Wayne, Lanny, Magee, and the other stars of Disney's "Prep and Landing" in a brand new stage show that pulls back the tree skirt and reveals how Santa gets a little help delivering toys all over the world. Using the Beauty and Beast stage, the show will feature live actors and a band to bring holiday cheer to guests of all ages. The show will include such holiday songs as "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" and "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" as well as a brand new song inspired by the show: "Even Santa Needs a Hand." After the show, guests can take their picture with some of the elves in a dedicated M&G or buy caramel hot chocolate and gingerbread men from the nearby snack cart. Get ready- it's going to be sooo tinsel!

Coming to Hollywood studios in December 2016 will be a Christmas celebration unlike any other featuring Jack Skellington and his merry band of helpers from a Nightmare Before Christmas.
Stretching down sunset Blvd, guests will first see some of the standard lighting and decorations along the store fronts and roofs with the song what's this playing as Jack pops up hanging from different locales while he discovers Christmas and Christmas town. Gradually some of the characters from Halloween town will pop up here and there as the decorations and lights become less traditional. The scenes and decorations will culminate near the Hollywood tower with the song making Christmas transitioned in while Halloween town has decorated their best, or worst for the holiday. The end decorations will be of more a goofy variety so as to not scare any really young ones, and jack and Santa, with zero helping pull the sleigh will be projected flying around.

The Stars Come Out - A Hufflepuff SubmissionYear Six - A Very Frosty Christmas
For another mini-challenge in Year Six, we will travel to Disney's Hollywood Studios. With the Osbourne Lights being retired after 20 years in operation, the park will be looking for a new holiday event. And that's our job this challenge.
Your task will be to design a temporary holiday event for DHS while Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land are being built. You can be as creative as you want for this (and its optional)
All you need is a minimum of 5 sentences. You're allowed to have images and can go over the 5 sentence mark if you want. For submissions that meet this requirement, you will receive 10 House Points per submission and you can have 4 submissions per House.
This will be due Monday June 20th at 11:59 PM EST
Good luck and have fun!
Now that the bright LED lights have gone from Hollywood Studios, the stars come out. The old Hollywood stars oft he 30's that is. See the streetmosphere characters come out at night to get guests into the holiday spirit along Hollywood Blvd, Sunset Blvd, and around Echo Lake. They engage each other and guests in song, regaling stories of the lavish Christmas parties of the past, and checking their Christmas lists.
Classic Hollywood lights and decorations stretch across Hollywood Blvd leading up to the Great Movie ride. Can that be snow falling?
The Great Movie Ride has gotten into the spirit as well. Temporarily replacing Footlight Parade, a new scene takes its place. Watch as George Bailey discovers the wonders of Christmas with family and friends. Guests will hear a bell and hear the famous line about an angel getting its wings. Before exiting the ride, the montage has been altered to include such classics as Nightmare Before Christmas, Ernest Saves Christmas, A Christmas Story, and many others.
Over on Sunset Blvd, the spirit of the seasons continues over at Rock n Rollercoaster, with Aerosmith donning Christmas hats to greet you and jamming to their versions of great Christmas songs as you race through traffic to get to Aerosmith's Christmas concert. As the snow continues to fall, it almost blocks out the dreary tower at the end of the street.
Over by Echo Lake, Minnie is hosting a holiday buffet dinner; a reservation is just a quick call away. And is that Gertie wearing a Santa hat?

A Christmas Celebration Parade!
As for Hollywood studios, I personally have visited around Christmas this past year and while I was there they would have a dance party, this dance party included many rare characters like bolt that came out in their Christmas outfits and danced. This was a huge hit, and everyone seemed to love it. It was something to do when you just wanted to have a good time, or needed some extra time before going to your next attraction. I present a new Christmas themed parade, filled with not only your favorite Christmas characters, but rare characters that we don't get to see as often. This event will not only be a parade, but it's much like move it, shake it, celebrate it, parade. While the parade makes it down the street, different sections of rare characters will have dance parties with the guests with Christmas music playing in the background. Snow will also be able to fall and will be approximately 20 minutes.

Imagineers and the Half-Built Land
Prologue
Discoveryland in Disneyland Paris is an area of the park that is a different spin on Tomorrowland than the other Magic Kingdom style parks. A land themed around steampunk architecture and Jules Verne inspired designs. While a unique concept, the concept can be better and more expansively explored in DisneySEA at Tokyo Disneyland, and the deteriorating infrastructure has impacted the quality of the areas a whole.
With this information, WDI sought to design something new for the land. A theme modeled after cosmic elements, however enveloped with not only a large following, but sizeable theme park opportunities. Due to the success of Cars Land in Disney California Adventure in 2012, it gave Disney confidence that they can take the lowest critically rated Pixar film, and turn it into a success, not because of the characters themselves, but because you are immersed in the world around you.
With the introduction of Phase 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney will introduce its newest land for Disneyland Paris...

With the introduction of Phase 3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Disney will introduce its newest land for Disneyland Paris...
The Marvel Cosmic Universe
Introduction
One of the most expansive libraries of characters, the Marvel Cosmic Universe will be brought to life in Phase 3 of the MCU (2016-2019) with the likes of Dr. Strange (supernatural/dimensional travel), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, Captain Marvel, Thor: Ragnorok, and Avengers Infinity War Part 1 and 2 (which will be re-named, apparently)
Regardless, Phase 3 promises to expand the universe exponentially introducing an eclectic range of characters and landscapes. With years of history on the comic-book pages coming to life on the big screen, much like Cars Land in DCA, this land will be inspired more by the scenery surrounding you rather than relying on the character driven ideologies. While characters will play a vital role in the land, it will be more about the immersion in the Cosmic Universe, something that has never been done on such a large scale.
With all of this said, we will be starting with a clean slate in Discoveryland. Everything will be removed and we will start from scratch with a new land with a newly inspired purpose.
As an aside, the emphasis more on the land and scenery itself will lend the land itself more familiar to the larger audience. While comic book readers may know who Hela and The Sentinels are off the top of their heads, many average fans will not, so to appease the masses, there will be broad strokes through the universe in an attempt to not dissuade people just because they haven't seen the movie.

5 - Guardians of the Galaxy
Asgardian Entrance
Approaching the Marvel Cosmic Universe from the main hub of Disneyland Paris, you will notice a golden towering 170 foot tall structure looming in the distance.
You see a revolving vortex in front of you with waterfalls to the side. As you travel to the vortex you see inside, an Audio-Animatronic Heimdall (the gatekeeper of Asgard) allowing you to pass through to Asgard.
You then pass through the vortex and on the other side is a glistening golden nation of Asgard (the home of the Norwegian God, Thor)
Walking towards the large center of the city, you'll notice a tavern and shop to your left, and right, respectfully.
Volstagg's Tavern
In Thor: The Dark World after battling the enemies of the Nine Realms, Thor and the Warrior's Three return to Asgard and visit a local tavern to celebrate and regale in their victory. This quaint, oak structured tavern will be a setting in Disneyland Paris' Asgard and will offer a quick service dining location for all to enjoy. The tavern will be a unique offering for the land, which will be inspired by the events in the films. Serving lunch and dinner daily, and also with a small bar area attached, this will have something for everyone, and sooner or later, everyone will be asking for..."another!"
Oden's Vault
One of the most interesting options for comic book fans and movie fans alike, you'll want to visit Oden's Vault on your journey through Asgard. Walk downstairs towards the secret vault that houses all sorts of valuables in the Marvel Cosmic Universe that you can collect. From Avengers gear to Thor gear, to comics, to collectables like your own Infinity Gauntlet glove, you will not be the first to pass this way...nor shall you be the last.

Thor Hammer Lift
As an interactive game within the Asgard setting, you and your friends can see if you are "worthy" as you attempt to pull Thor's hammer from a rock formation. Much like the Sword in the Stone location in the Magic Kingdom, this is a great photo spot for family and friends and a nice tie in to the films
Avengers: Infinity War
Approaching the center of the land, you reach the towering golden structure at the heart of Asgard, home to the royal family of Thor Odinson, and his treacherous brother, Loki. This will be the home of the main attraction in the land, the thrilling roller coaster entitled Avengers: Infinity War.
Queue
The attraction builds through the introduction of Thor, as you travel the golden hallways of the Asgardian tower and traverse through the hallways before entering the Asgardian prison where Loki is kept. You enter down into the preshow where you see an Audio-Animatronic Loki, behind the glass wall.
"I see that you've made it" Loki glares "Do you too want to be burdened with glorious purpose? You don't know what's coming."
As you watch Loki continue his soliloquy, lightning strikes and Thor arrives at the scene.
"Loki enough of your schemes" Thor remarks
"Hello brother, nice of you to visit, how are your colorful band of new friends"
"A bit distracted thanks to you"
"We;;, you best bring them back here...I think you might need them"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh I think you know, don't you...Thor....the gauntlet, the stones, it's all coming back."
"Loki what have you done?"
"Nothing you shouldn't expect by now, brother."
Thor slams his fit on the glass and turns to the audience watching the pre-show,
"we must assemble the Avengers...I hope they are fighting each other" (a nod to the Civil War film)
"Follow me" Thor says as you walk down the prison hallway and into a small hydrulator-esque room, using similar technology as the new Up attraction in Adventureland of the Magic Kingdom (as seen in Year 3)
You walk into the room with large glass screens that make it seem as if the glass isn't even there and you are just standing on a cliff. Thor Lifts his hammer, lightning flashes and all of a sudden you talk off through thr Nine Realms. You see galaxies and stars soaring past you as Thor remarks that we need to assemble the team, some of which are on different planets.
The first stop on your journey is to a gladiator type planet in a jungle environment. You land in an arena where Thor walks into the center. As the crowd cheers you hear a loud roar and a green monster come out of the shadows in gladiator gear.
You're on Planet Hulk, a planet far out in the reaches of the Marvel Cosmic Universe where Hulk is sent in the comics to battle other creatures of the galaxy. Thor tries to speak with Banner, but they end up fighting until Thor grabs both the Hulk and your hydrulator pre-show and launches you both into space to the next stop of Earth.
As you approach earth, you land at the Avengers Academy, which is set up in orbit surrounding earth to protect earth from any invaders.
Thor goes to the Avengers and says that Loki has hatched a scheme and given somehow the Infinity Gauntlet...a glove that if you place the 6 infinity stones into it...you'll have power over the entire universe...is in the hands of an enemy and he's coming to earth for the last Infinity Stone (the mind gem from Vision's head)
Thor says you must be prepared, Iron Man comments on who are these people (you, the guests) and Thor claims that they were visiting Asgard and Asgard wasn't safe for them)
"Smart move, Thor, always thinking on your feet" Tony Stark says sarcastically "Well it looks like they are going to need some gear"
"Friday how about we do a scan on that space cruiser over there, you think that can take them to earth for safety?"
Friday (Tony's AI): Scanning now - all systems go, however this is a prototype, and it's programmed to assist in batt--" *interrupted*
"Yeah, Yeah, Underoos go help these people into the ship"
"On it Mr. Stark" replies Peter Parker.
You exit the hydrulator and can see the stars of space all around you as you are on the Avengers orbiting protection unit. The ship awaits you as you pile to it during the loading procedure.
The "ship" is a 12 row Iron Man shielded ship that seats 2 riders per row for a total of 24 riders per ship.
Ride-Through
You begin your journey as you ascend up a small incline and hear a loud bang, almost as if someone came out of hyperspace. You see a large Chitauri army approaching from the distance...looking to make a decent onto earth. However one large ship comes out from the pack
It's Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet on and ready for battle with 5 of the 6 infinity stones at his disposal...and Vision guarding the 6th.
"We can do this the easy way, or the brutal way, Avengers"
"I'm gonna go with option C...see ya later" Tony snarkly remarks
"Tony get those people out of here" Cap says referring to the guests.
All of a sudden your vehicle, still ascending, lurches forward and towards the Chitauri, looking to attack. You sway down and swoop into the darkness of the universe, avoiding a Chitauri blast. With that the battle begins as the Avengers engage the Chitauri as your ship maneuvers its way around the battle. Lasers blast, shields are thrown, Hulks smash as you careen around the battle.
You see Thanos going after Vision and are stopped by the reality gem of Thanos.
You can hear the track bending around you and behind you as the track changes and Thanos sends you backwards down a drop and into a backwards inversion around the battlefield.
In the distance, you see Cap and Iron Man taking it too Thanos with all their might, but Thanos' power gem blasts a purple glow over the whole field, sending your ship down another drop before being "caught" by Vision behind you. Vision sends you on your way forward back to earth however a battle between Hulk and Thanos begins right in front of you as you have to careen around it as Friday, the AI of Tony's tries to disable the autopilot of the ship which is programmed for battle, a detail Tony had ignored in the pre-show.
You swoop back into the battle and as soon as Thanos grabs Vision and is about to rip the Mind Stone out of his head, your ship fires a laser right at the glove, knocking the Infinity Gauntlet out of his giant purple hands and into the hands of Captain America.
Thanos is swiftly defeated by Hulk and your ship lands back on the Avengers Academy.
You exit your ship and in the post show area, are greeted by Thor who takes you back to Asgard, with the Infinity Gauntlet, which he will place in Oden's Vault and since you, the guests, saved the universe, accompany him back to Asgard to watch over Loki to make sure he has no more schemes up his sleeve, which he surely will.
You arrive back at Asgard and enter back outside as the post show concludes with you flying back through the vortex to where you started.
Dr Strange
The Sorcerer Supreme, Dr Strange, traveling through the multiverse of the Marvel Cosmic Universe, battling inter-dimensional foes using magic and mysticism he learned from The Ancient One.
On this dark ride adventure, inspired by Journey Into Imagination, you will travel with Dr. Strange and The Ancient One to try and stop Dormammu, Dr. Stranges arch enemy, from destroying the universe by reversing time using the time gem.
With elements of the supernatural, time travel, and multidimensional travel, you'll enter a world unlike any other.
Adjacent to the Asgardian tower, you'll find a small bridge over a transitional water/lake accent to show the transition to a different dimension. You'll walk into a large wormhole like structure that will illuminate during the day and night will billions of lights around it acting as the stars in the cosmic universe.
Entering the wormhole you being the queue for the Dr Strange attraction, and via the time gem, learn about the story of Stephen Strange, a brilliant neurosurgeon in New York city who during a car accident, loses his hands and must travel to the ancient one to learn the powers of magic to get his career back.
Talking get the narrative of the characters backstory in the queue allows for a way to progress the narrative of the attraction while giving novel viewers a backstory time follow so that they aren't confused on the ride. This story will be told through projection videos and images throughout the queue, as you travel through the wormhole.
On the other side of the wormhole, you meet the ancient one, a large audio animatronic figure who introduces you to your vehicles. You'll be traveling with them to counter Dormammu who is attempting to use the time gem to reverse history and erase all we love from existence.
Dr Strange has the eye of agamoto...which enables him to travel through the dimensions. You board vehicles that look similar to the eye, and you begin your journey.
Scene 1 - A New Dimension
You travel though a star field where the ancient one's voice can be heard telling Steven...
"Breathe ...let your soul take over...trust in your oneness"
All of a sudden the Star field around you begins to spin and you are thrust through different dimensions traveling at the speed of light. Your vehicles rotate around to see an audio animatronic figure of Dr strange traveling along side you as he stops the transition and the Star field evolves into a colorful landscape of pink and yellow.
Scene 2 - Reign of Fire
Dr strange travels across this vast land and comes upon a large creature that stands in front of him. It is a gigantic AA...one of the largest ever created, that flings it's galactic tentacles at Dr strange you stops it with magic
This effect is is pretty spectacular as the effect of magic is seen stopping the arm before it hits your vehicle.
"We must traverse beyond...Dormammu has laid a trap"
Suddenly you are transported again and this time the vortex around you begins to shrink
Scene 3 The Quantum Realm
The quantum realm was first seen in ant man (2015) as the subatomic realm of the universe. As you shrink down you are trying to destroy the monster subatomically. Dr strange uses the eye of agamoto as it blasts the creature in a ball of flames.
Scene 4 Dormammu
The Dark lord of the dark dimension appears and taunts you and Dr strange by levitating things around your vehicle. The physical sets rising is also a spectacular effect to witness on the ride.
Scene 5 The Power of the Ancient One
At this point the ancient one arrives and battles Dormammu as you zoom away and watch from a far. The power of the ancient one is put on display as she overpowers Dormammu. However, Dormammu uses the time gem to zap everyone away before he is bested, and you are sent to the dark dimension.
Scene 6 the Dark Dimension
Rolling wormholes surround you as Dormammu rises from the darkness with an army of followers behind him.
It looks as if he will win, until...
Scene 7 Dr Strange vs Dormammu
Dr Strange arrives and in the climax of the attraction, in a fight to retrieve the time gem, lands an epic battle where your surroundings continuously change as you soar through time as the time gem keeps getting used. You wind up in a white backdrop where Dr strange finally defeats Dormammu and retrieves the time gem.
Scene 8 Conclusion
You soar back to the wormhole where Dr strange advises that the next time you decide to step into the wormhole, know what you're getting into.
Approaching the center of the land, you reach the towering golden structure at the heart of Asgard, home to the royal family of Thor Odinson, and his treacherous brother, Loki. This will be the home of the main attraction in the land, the thrilling roller coaster entitled Avengers: Infinity War.

You're on Planet Hulk, a planet far out in the reaches of the Marvel Cosmic Universe where Hulk is sent in the comics to battle other creatures of the galaxy. Thor tries to speak with Banner, but they end up fighting until Thor grabs both the Hulk and your hydrulator pre-show and launches you both into space to the next stop of Earth.
As you approach earth, you land at the Avengers Academy, which is set up in orbit surrounding earth to protect earth from any invaders.
Thor goes to the Avengers and says that Loki has hatched a scheme and given somehow the Infinity Gauntlet...a glove that if you place the 6 infinity stones into it...you'll have power over the entire universe...is in the hands of an enemy and he's coming to earth for the last Infinity Stone (the mind gem from Vision's head)
Thor says you must be prepared, Iron Man comments on who are these people (you, the guests) and Thor claims that they were visiting Asgard and Asgard wasn't safe for them)
"Smart move, Thor, always thinking on your feet" Tony Stark says sarcastically "Well it looks like they are going to need some gear"
"Friday how about we do a scan on that space cruiser over there, you think that can take them to earth for safety?"
Friday (Tony's AI): Scanning now - all systems go, however this is a prototype, and it's programmed to assist in batt--" *interrupted*
"Yeah, Yeah, Underoos go help these people into the ship"
"On it Mr. Stark" replies Peter Parker.
You exit the hydrulator and can see the stars of space all around you as you are on the Avengers orbiting protection unit. The ship awaits you as you pile to it during the loading procedure.
The "ship" is a 12 row Iron Man shielded ship that seats 2 riders per row for a total of 24 riders per ship.
Ride-Through
You begin your journey as you ascend up a small incline and hear a loud bang, almost as if someone came out of hyperspace. You see a large Chitauri army approaching from the distance...looking to make a decent onto earth. However one large ship comes out from the pack
It's Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet on and ready for battle with 5 of the 6 infinity stones at his disposal...and Vision guarding the 6th.
"We can do this the easy way, or the brutal way, Avengers"
"I'm gonna go with option C...see ya later" Tony snarkly remarks
"Tony get those people out of here" Cap says referring to the guests.
All of a sudden your vehicle, still ascending, lurches forward and towards the Chitauri, looking to attack. You sway down and swoop into the darkness of the universe, avoiding a Chitauri blast. With that the battle begins as the Avengers engage the Chitauri as your ship maneuvers its way around the battle. Lasers blast, shields are thrown, Hulks smash as you careen around the battle.
You see Thanos going after Vision and are stopped by the reality gem of Thanos.
You can hear the track bending around you and behind you as the track changes and Thanos sends you backwards down a drop and into a backwards inversion around the battlefield.
In the distance, you see Cap and Iron Man taking it too Thanos with all their might, but Thanos' power gem blasts a purple glow over the whole field, sending your ship down another drop before being "caught" by Vision behind you. Vision sends you on your way forward back to earth however a battle between Hulk and Thanos begins right in front of you as you have to careen around it as Friday, the AI of Tony's tries to disable the autopilot of the ship which is programmed for battle, a detail Tony had ignored in the pre-show.
You swoop back into the battle and as soon as Thanos grabs Vision and is about to rip the Mind Stone out of his head, your ship fires a laser right at the glove, knocking the Infinity Gauntlet out of his giant purple hands and into the hands of Captain America.
Thanos is swiftly defeated by Hulk and your ship lands back on the Avengers Academy.
You exit your ship and in the post show area, are greeted by Thor who takes you back to Asgard, with the Infinity Gauntlet, which he will place in Oden's Vault and since you, the guests, saved the universe, accompany him back to Asgard to watch over Loki to make sure he has no more schemes up his sleeve, which he surely will.
You arrive back at Asgard and enter back outside as the post show concludes with you flying back through the vortex to where you started.
Dr Strange

Talking get the narrative of the characters backstory in the queue allows for a way to progress the narrative of the attraction while giving novel viewers a backstory time follow so that they aren't confused on the ride. This story will be told through projection videos and images throughout the queue, as you travel through the wormhole.
On the other side of the wormhole, you meet the ancient one, a large audio animatronic figure who introduces you to your vehicles. You'll be traveling with them to counter Dormammu who is attempting to use the time gem to reverse history and erase all we love from existence.
Dr Strange has the eye of agamoto...which enables him to travel through the dimensions. You board vehicles that look similar to the eye, and you begin your journey.
Scene 1 - A New Dimension
You travel though a star field where the ancient one's voice can be heard telling Steven...
"Breathe ...let your soul take over...trust in your oneness"
All of a sudden the Star field around you begins to spin and you are thrust through different dimensions traveling at the speed of light. Your vehicles rotate around to see an audio animatronic figure of Dr strange traveling along side you as he stops the transition and the Star field evolves into a colorful landscape of pink and yellow.
Scene 2 - Reign of Fire
Dr strange travels across this vast land and comes upon a large creature that stands in front of him. It is a gigantic AA...one of the largest ever created, that flings it's galactic tentacles at Dr strange you stops it with magic
This effect is is pretty spectacular as the effect of magic is seen stopping the arm before it hits your vehicle.
"We must traverse beyond...Dormammu has laid a trap"
Suddenly you are transported again and this time the vortex around you begins to shrink
Scene 3 The Quantum Realm
The quantum realm was first seen in ant man (2015) as the subatomic realm of the universe. As you shrink down you are trying to destroy the monster subatomically. Dr strange uses the eye of agamoto as it blasts the creature in a ball of flames.
Scene 4 Dormammu
The Dark lord of the dark dimension appears and taunts you and Dr strange by levitating things around your vehicle. The physical sets rising is also a spectacular effect to witness on the ride.
Scene 5 The Power of the Ancient One
At this point the ancient one arrives and battles Dormammu as you zoom away and watch from a far. The power of the ancient one is put on display as she overpowers Dormammu. However, Dormammu uses the time gem to zap everyone away before he is bested, and you are sent to the dark dimension.
Scene 6 the Dark Dimension
Rolling wormholes surround you as Dormammu rises from the darkness with an army of followers behind him.
It looks as if he will win, until...
Scene 7 Dr Strange vs Dormammu
Dr Strange arrives and in the climax of the attraction, in a fight to retrieve the time gem, lands an epic battle where your surroundings continuously change as you soar through time as the time gem keeps getting used. You wind up in a white backdrop where Dr strange finally defeats Dormammu and retrieves the time gem.
Scene 8 Conclusion
You soar back to the wormhole where Dr strange advises that the next time you decide to step into the wormhole, know what you're getting into.
Avengers Academy
Built on the outskirts of the land, beyond the train tracks is Avengers Academy - an interactive children's area that "trains" kids to become superhero to fight the villains of the Marvel Cosmic Universe.
A location for kids who maybe are too small to ride the Avengers: Infinity War attraction, here you can save the galaxy in an immersive environment where you get to select your superpowers from a kiosk in the front.
At the kiosk, the child (along with their parent) can help them choose their superhero powers, whether they want to fly like Captain Marvel, or be strong like the Hulk, all the options are their as you customize your own abilities. You are then given an RFID card that remembers your customization
After the customization process you will proceed to a changing area, where you will be fitted with your superhero costume based on your selected abilities. This costume will be your "identity" going forward as you are given a superhero name for the adventure.
You then travel into the next room where you are met by Captain America and Tony Stark (character actors) who welcome you to Avengers Headquarters. Iron Man, in full gear, takes a group of 15 kids to his side of the headquarters and Captain America takes another 15 to his side. The two jab at each other a little bit for a taste of what is to come.
In the training ground, based on the costumes the characters and the RFID chip, you'll stand in front of a 3D screen with 3D glasses on and your superhero scenario will come up as you can punch and kick and fly your way to victory with the Avengers. You'll also be able to take pictures which will be cropped to look like the kid is actually a superhero.
After each child has been able to proceed through the training, Captain America and Iron Man come together, when Spider-Man shows up. he high fives the kids and starts jabbing with Tony and Cap. All of a sudden the Avengers Academy headquarters sirens go off and Tony and Cap get into position and call in the Avengers. With the kids watching they Avengers Assemble featuring Iron Man, Cap, Spider-Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Vision.
"Where's Banner?" Cap asks
"He got a little mad - I think he's on the case already" Tony replies.
At this point a rotating cast of villains will eventually enter the Avengers compound - consisting of Loki, Ultron, M.O.D.O.K, and more. These villains will enter the compound with a few troops and battle the Avengers until they call in for back-up. The kids will get up and large screens will come down over the open space which will simulate an outer space battle field
"Just like the training kids" Cap says
And as more villains come into the fray, you'll be able to swing around and defeat the villain and save the galaxy before exiting the Avengers Academy with a good day's work.
Overall the experience will last 25-30 minutes and be held throughout the day - check your times guide for more details on the Avengers Academy.
Le magasin de l'écrivain - The Writer's Shop
Nestled next ot Avengers Academy is another interactive zone in particular for people who enjoy comic book writing and artistry in the comic books. Much like the Kid Cot Fun Stop in Epcot, in this area you can draw your own comic book pages and become inspired to put pen to paper on some of the scenes that you've always wanted to see with your favorite characters together.
Known as a Splash Page in Comics - the splash page is the page that "sells" the comic essenially, that shows the heroes battling the villain in a large double sided format. In the Writers Shop you will learn how to draw the splash pages and make one of your own.

Guests can enjoy appetizers, not meals, but enough to make sure you're filled up when on the go.
Moving on, there will be a new building called, "Galaxy Foundation". Galaxy Foundation is a building where guests can meet many characters from the movie. Characters including Groot, Star Lord, Gamora, and Rocket the Raccoon. Each will be posted at different sections of the building.

Conclusion
The Marvel Cosmic Universe is vast and has an expansive library of characters to choose from. This is one of the most diverse variety of landscapes at a creative disposal, that embodies a fantasy view of the cosmic realm and our journey in the Marvel view of that cosmic world. While other "Tomorrowland" style lands will fade out, a universe based in literature and cinema that has a long-standing successful history will be able to stand the test of time as its own unique entitiy, bringing a new flavor to Disneyland Paris in hopes of building it up in popularity and attention for years to come.

Description
The return of an opening day Disneyland Paris attraction the time keeper. Both characters Time Keeper and Nine Eyes would be found in a new home in the Videopolis Theater. This brand new version of the beloved attraction would be the first randomized 3D movie. The Visionary you would get, the locations and time you take them to are all randomized. The visionaries include Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Walt Disney, Nikola Tesla and Gustave Eiffel. This would bring back an attraction truly made for the French people.
Queue
The line would be weaving through a lab that was maybe once use to build a time machine. It would be located in the once open Videopolis arcade. In turns of lend the line would be about as long as the Laugh Floor queue. Spliced through the line are references to extinction Discoveryland attractions and the visionaries in the show.
Pre-show
The pre show shows the previous time travel excursions. Some of with are failed test and missions. The entire thing quickly turns into a gag real. This would be very funny and set the tone for the show.
Show
The main show is in an IMAX dome theater hosted in the place that once was a stage style show. Out in front is a small stage that host the animatronic pair of Timekeeper and Nine Eyes. Not much dialogues changes from the original to make it easy to clone into America using Robin Williams voice.

Guests are being hired as explorers for an excursion back to the center to the earth. Guests eventually reach the location where Professor Lidenbrock is along with his newly created drilling machine.
Professor: Good day, fellow explorers! I am Professor Lidenbrock, and you have all been hired to accompany me to the center of the Earth. Yes you will go ahead of me in your Inner Earth Traveler. I have equipped the vehicle with a stun ray in case you meet any danger. I will follow suit in this machine you see here. If anything were to happen such as a cave in, I will simply drill though it allowing further travel. Well, it's best you off now. Go!

Ride Experience -
Room 1: Lava
The vehicle leave the loading area and enter a volcano. The vehicles turn on setting the scores to zero, and allowing guests to stun. All around it will seem as if they were in the middle of a volcano as lava seemingly flows all around the guests truly creating a remarkable beginning. The professor warns the guests that they are now entering the jungles in the center of the earth.
Room 2: Carboniferous
Guests are transferred to a rocky jungle where there are bugs the size of dinosaurs something truly terrifying. All over the room there are Meganisoptera (Giant Dragonflies), Pulmonoscorpius (Giant Scorpions), Arthropleura ( 1 - 7.5 Feet Long Millipede like creatures), and scariest of them all the Dictyoptera the daddy of all cockroaches. Guests will be allowed to stun these giant insects as they threaten to ruin the expedition. Guests will finally reach the largest creature in the room the Arthropleura as it menacigly tries to reach into the vehicles to stop the invaders.
An Attacking Arthropleura
Room 3: The Glowing Plants
Guests escape the giant insects, and enter a cave. Guests can now stun mushrooms, petrified trees, flowers, ivy, and other plant life. When ever a guests stuns the plant life it actually begins to glow until someone else stuns it. As the vehicles careen through the plant ridden cave they come upon another cave opening, and go through it.
Room 4: Mesozoic
As the vehicles leave the safety of the cave they enter a primeval jungle once more. This time however dinosaurs conquer. Guests must stun dinosaurs that may harm the expedition such as tyrannosauruses, spinosauruses, velicoraptors, and many more. As guests proceed trough the room they can even stun pterosaurs in flight. Far off in the background are several prehistoric humans that are supposedly 12 feet long. The vehicles quickly progress into another chamber.
Room 5: Mysterious Creature
The vehicles enter another cave. Guests can stun the skeletons of mastodons and other large skeletons. But it raises the question what could've caused such great beast to die here? The professor chimes in that his detectors have picked up several lifeforms of an unknown species. He presses the explorers to go on. He has just made a grave mistake. As the vehicles continue they encounter a large boulder. Various geysers shout out steam. The boulder begins to turn around, and reveal that it is a monster. As guests continue to stun it, it simply intensifies its angers seemingly invulnerable to the shock of the stun. The professor informs the explorers he is on his way.
Room 6: Disaster
As the vehicles enter a rather large chamber the Professor's drill is on the cave floor with the professor inside the machine. He tells guests to hurry as they have just entered the nesting grounds for that monster. He isn't kidding. Several of the monsters seen before are in the chamber terrorizing whoever who enters. The professor urges the explorers to escape via the tunnel he has constructed with the drill.
Room 7: Escape Tunnel
The vehicles enter a tunnel covered in a projection scrim. Lava is rising endlessly as the monsters are jumping from side to side. The professor allows the stun rays to turn into death rays for the safety of the explorers and the people on the surface. If a guests is able to hit one of the beasts there score will be multiplied by 2. Eventually the vehicles will shoot out of the tunnels, and enter the safety of the laboratory.
Room 8: Laboratory
The last room in the ride tells guests what score they received, and where they rank with their score. The professor thanks the explorers, and tells them that they are welcomed back into the laboratory at any time. The guests are allowed to exit their vehicle, and enter the gift shop.
As guests enter from Discoveryland they enter Lidenbrock Laboratories. News clippings describe the events in the book leading up to now. Guests are being hired as explorers for an excursion back to the center to the earth. Guests eventually reach the location where Professor Lidenbrock is along with his newly created drilling machine.
Professor: Good day, fellow explorers! I am Professor Lidenbrock, and you have all been hired to accompany me to the center of the Earth. Yes you will go ahead of me in your Inner Earth Traveler. I have equipped the vehicle with a stun ray in case you meet any danger. I will follow suit in this machine you see here. If anything were to happen such as a cave in, I will simply drill though it allowing further travel. Well, it's best you off now. Go!
Guests continue through the queue seeing blueprints for their ride vehicle. Throughout the queue are various monitors that show the anatomy of the creatures to be found on the journey. Well all except for one. Guests continue and pass by equipment from the last excursion including the remains of a hastily put together raft. Finally guests reach the loading area.

Ride Experience -
Room 1: Lava
The vehicle leave the loading area and enter a volcano. The vehicles turn on setting the scores to zero, and allowing guests to stun. All around it will seem as if they were in the middle of a volcano as lava seemingly flows all around the guests truly creating a remarkable beginning. The professor warns the guests that they are now entering the jungles in the center of the earth.
Room 2: Carboniferous
Guests are transferred to a rocky jungle where there are bugs the size of dinosaurs something truly terrifying. All over the room there are Meganisoptera (Giant Dragonflies), Pulmonoscorpius (Giant Scorpions), Arthropleura ( 1 - 7.5 Feet Long Millipede like creatures), and scariest of them all the Dictyoptera the daddy of all cockroaches. Guests will be allowed to stun these giant insects as they threaten to ruin the expedition. Guests will finally reach the largest creature in the room the Arthropleura as it menacigly tries to reach into the vehicles to stop the invaders.
An Attacking Arthropleura
Room 3: The Glowing Plants
Guests escape the giant insects, and enter a cave. Guests can now stun mushrooms, petrified trees, flowers, ivy, and other plant life. When ever a guests stuns the plant life it actually begins to glow until someone else stuns it. As the vehicles careen through the plant ridden cave they come upon another cave opening, and go through it.
Room 4: Mesozoic
As the vehicles leave the safety of the cave they enter a primeval jungle once more. This time however dinosaurs conquer. Guests must stun dinosaurs that may harm the expedition such as tyrannosauruses, spinosauruses, velicoraptors, and many more. As guests proceed trough the room they can even stun pterosaurs in flight. Far off in the background are several prehistoric humans that are supposedly 12 feet long. The vehicles quickly progress into another chamber.
Room 5: Mysterious Creature
The vehicles enter another cave. Guests can stun the skeletons of mastodons and other large skeletons. But it raises the question what could've caused such great beast to die here? The professor chimes in that his detectors have picked up several lifeforms of an unknown species. He presses the explorers to go on. He has just made a grave mistake. As the vehicles continue they encounter a large boulder. Various geysers shout out steam. The boulder begins to turn around, and reveal that it is a monster. As guests continue to stun it, it simply intensifies its angers seemingly invulnerable to the shock of the stun. The professor informs the explorers he is on his way.
Room 6: Disaster
As the vehicles enter a rather large chamber the Professor's drill is on the cave floor with the professor inside the machine. He tells guests to hurry as they have just entered the nesting grounds for that monster. He isn't kidding. Several of the monsters seen before are in the chamber terrorizing whoever who enters. The professor urges the explorers to escape via the tunnel he has constructed with the drill.
Room 7: Escape Tunnel
The vehicles enter a tunnel covered in a projection scrim. Lava is rising endlessly as the monsters are jumping from side to side. The professor allows the stun rays to turn into death rays for the safety of the explorers and the people on the surface. If a guests is able to hit one of the beasts there score will be multiplied by 2. Eventually the vehicles will shoot out of the tunnels, and enter the safety of the laboratory.
Room 8: Laboratory
The last room in the ride tells guests what score they received, and where they rank with their score. The professor thanks the explorers, and tells them that they are welcomed back into the laboratory at any time. The guests are allowed to exit their vehicle, and enter the gift shop.
French for Aircycle: the Future, this attraction re-model of Autopia combines elements from the Test Track, Tron Light Cycle Run, and a Jules Verne storyline for a new spin on Autopia.
Guests will go into a rusted-over copper building where they see a museum type setting that showcases all of Jules Verne’s ideas and inventions, with the queue winding through giant pages of Verne’s inventions that will start out as sketches and later come to life through projection effects.
Entering the preshow, a copper robot named SIR will introduce to guests one of Jules Verne’s hidden inventions that is now being put to the test : a motorcycle-like contraption called the air-cycle used to fly around the world in record time. SIR explains that the guests will load unto these and race to test which fuels and models are more powerful than others.
After guests go through the preshow, they quickly load unto the air-cycles. The aircycles launch in and out of giant projector rooms with footage used from Soarin’ Around the World. the finale room is racing through giant gold fireworks exploding around Space Mountain, welcoming you back to Discoveryland.

Description
The return of an opening day Disneyland Paris attraction the time keeper. Both characters Time Keeper and Nine Eyes would be found in a new home in the Videopolis Theater. This brand new version of the beloved attraction would be the first randomized 3D movie. The Visionary you would get, the locations and time you take them to are all randomized. The visionaries include Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Walt Disney, Nikola Tesla and Gustave Eiffel. This would bring back an attraction truly made for the French people.
Queue
The line would be weaving through a lab that was maybe once use to build a time machine. It would be located in the once open Videopolis arcade. In turns of lend the line would be about as long as the Laugh Floor queue. Spliced through the line are references to extinction Discoveryland attractions and the visionaries in the show.
Pre-show
The pre show shows the previous time travel excursions. Some of with are failed test and missions. The entire thing quickly turns into a gag real. This would be very funny and set the tone for the show.
Show
The main show is in an IMAX dome theater hosted in the place that once was a stage style show. Out in front is a small stage that host the animatronic pair of Timekeeper and Nine Eyes. Not much dialogues changes from the original to make it easy to clone into America using Robin Williams voice.
Queue -
Guests gather in the Gardens of Imagination as they wait to be allowed into the lobby. In the Gardens of Imagination there will be a lot of exotic plant life that seems imaginary. Like the pink puff-puff flowers with cotton as soft as a blanket, or maybe the golden rods flowers made of pure gold. As guests weave they enter the covered part of the queue. Various posters hang on the wall of various famous stage shows starring Figment. As guests continue they are allowed entry into the lobby where they wait for the theater to open. In the lobby guests are able to pick
Show Stats & Info -
This show will feature 3D, water squirters, smellitzers, air blasters, and hydraulics hidden beneath the theater floor. This attraction will be cofunded by Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris. In Disneyland Paris the show will be shown in English and French. English for half the day and French for the other half.

Show Synopsis -
A purple curtain covers the screen. An instrumental version of One Little Spark begins to play, and as it does the curtain goes up. The movie begins to countdown from 3. As the instrumental for One Little Spark ends the film starts. Clouds are seen as a large steampunk airship appears. Figment and the Dreamfinder are seen on board. The camera gets closer as viewers find out that they have been called up here by someone named N.M. Wondering aloud who it can be the question is soon answered as a ghastly airship appears with Nightmare aka N.M. appears.
An airship example
She tells Dreamfinder to give up Figment so that she can use his dragon abilities to rule the skies. The begins a battle between the two airships. This leads to comedy as the crews of both ships fight with Imagination Guns (Fart Ray, Rainbow Blaster, Thunder Clapper, etc). Figment occasionally breaks the fourth wall slipping out from the screen and escaping Nightmare's crew. It is an overall light hearted show that ends with Nightmare being defeated by the power of Imagination, and of course a new song sung by Dreamfinder and Figment.

With the re-imagining of Discoveryland Paris and the expansion of a mini Star Wars Land themed to the planet Coruscant, The Jedi Training Academy will be undergoing its own changes. The exterior of the theater will get a facelift and redesigned to more closely resemble the remains of the original Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
The theater set up itself will remain intact, however the backdrop and set will be completely redesigned to take the young potential padawans inside the old Jedi Temple. A replica of the Jedi council chambers will form the basis of the set with an animatronic Yoda playing a part in the experience secretly meeting new Jedi recruits.
With the indoor theater, the “force” effects can still be utilized and cast members will assist Yoda in taking the recruits through the trials of being a Jedi. The finale of the show will still end with Darth Vader discovering the secret training and the padawans will fight him off to escape to continue their training.

To complete its smaller scale Star Wars Land within Discoveryland, a brand new E ticket will be added. The ride will be mimicked after the Millennium Falcon ride going in Disney World Hollywood Studios and DisneyLand. While using the ride vehicle and technology from those parks, the ride itself will be specially themed to Discoveryland’s version of Star Wars Land as you pilot the Falcon in and around Coruscant.
Sent on a fact finding and intel mission you are discovered before your mission is complete. In the opening scenes you’ll need to pilot among trade vessels and the planet defenses to arrive safely at the designated site to proceed. Things will go quickly awry as sentries are alerted to your presence and trigger an all-out planet watch for the Falcon.
You’ll be forced to fly in and out of the planet sized city to fend off the Imperial forces bent on bringing you to Darth Vader. You’ll have plenty of chances to shoot your way out of trouble brining down as many Tie Fighters, and other planet defenses as you can.
Be on the lookout though as Darth Vader is not the only one after you. A certain Hutt has numerous bounty hunters who are alerted to your presence and could also join in the fray.

Height Requirement : 48 in
Duration: 4min

Story - Explained in the preshow (The preshow is optional, you can skip it for repeat ridings.)
Host: "You are in Discoveryland, a place where visionaries and dreamers come to together to envision and create the future. Jules Verne, Gustave Eiffel, H.G. Wells, and Thomas Edison came together to discover a way to see the future. The Perception Cannon was created with inspiration from Jules Verne’s Catapult Cannon, so that they can see a future based on their visions of the future, but it only can become a reality in another dimension. Thomas Edison found that Plasma energy could be harnessed by using the Eiffel Tower as an energy point, which is what they needed to power the powerful Perception Cannon. The only problem is once you’re there, you can’t come back, so they brainstormed, and as they always never gave up. They found out that you needed to remain in a metal object for the energy to not dissipate. And that’s why you’re here, to test this new contraption out! I, Hank in case you didn’t know, have recruited all of you for this first time operation, there is no room for failure. Oh and by the way, it flies, they’ve always thought that there’s no point of a vehicle that remains grounded, because they have this new hover technology that uses the Earth’s magnetic field. Anyway back to business. So you are going to go on this ‘time machine’ into a place that only its designers know of with the exception being me. And don’t worry I’ll guide you through the other dimension using um… I think they called it speakers? Good luck!”
Exterior
(This structure in this photo except as part of a building)
The story takes place before you even ride the attraction. Discoveryland as a whole is a place for visionaries and dreamers to build how they see the future, but those that want to dive deep into the future must build a way to see it. And it has been built. The exterior’s design is that of a massive plasma generator for the cannon. It is connected to a fine dining restaurant called Edison’s themed as a 19th century steampunk inspired mess hall turned fine dining.
Queue
You wonder through the heavily detailed queue through walkways between contraptions and parts that make up the generator (Think The Tower of Terror Boiler Rooms with a Steampunk flair and on a significantly larger scale). The preshow is in two different “Elevators” (they are fake) one being English and the other one in French. They’re themed to an elevator taking you thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface under the generator as the power of the Perception Cannon is like no other. Then, once you receive the story from Hank while the elevators simulate going into the Earth (The French Version is George Clooney dubbed by Vincent Cassel) once complete, the elevator doors open, and you proceed down steps to the duel loading area. If you speak French you will be directed to the right side, if you speak English you will be directed to the left side. This marks the first ride that allows for full understanding in two languages without having the languages mixed together.
Ride experience
The vehicles simulate flight, whether turbulence, changes of altitude, or gliding. This works by uses a new form of EMV technology that is suspended. The main difference is the track as it is more similar to a suspended coaster track. The track is also not ever visible to the rider as the vehicles have ceilings, and the loading station has an angled ceiling.
