I just want to mention this now, before I forget. I'll be away this weekend and won't be back until late Sunday night OR Monday afternoon. So, judgements won't come until I'm home, as well as eliminations.

I tried, but I just couldn't get into the British show. Which is odd, because generally I prefer BBC productions to most of what is turned out from American media.

I can see how it can be a little hard to really get into, but I have been in a 'British Parliament' mode...especially the Thatcher-Major period.

I agree with the right honorable gentlemen! One of my favorite things is watching the spitting image impressions of them. It all makes me wish we had a parliamentary system here in the states...maybe one more similar to the French system of governance.

- On the other hand, the name is pretty... meh. I like the subtitle, but a better title name would have been better

I agree, we should have made the subtitle into the title.
RMichael21 said:
- French titles/names are nice to inject some culture into the attraction or concept. However, it comes off as a bit forced if not done correctly. I feel that the english name and the french name where not cohesive together, making the reader confused (especially those who don't speak french) about what the actual name of the attraction is.

Yep. Don't use Google Translate if you don't need to.

Also, in SA why'd you leave me to translate French names using the internet if you know the language? :p

- The map is nice as well, but I feel that at the bottom of the page, it's under appreciated.

SOMETHING has to go at the bottom. Either the map or the paragraph. One of them will be under-appreciated.

- The Louvre facade seems a little bit too "grand" compared to the quaint buildings located in the rest of the pavilion, in my opinion
Click to expand...
That's why we made the path as a way to transition, with the gardens, into a grander environment.
RMichael21 said:
The music was nice, but how does it fit into the facade page?
Click to expand...
We should have addressed this, but that is the area music playing in that part of the pavilion.

- I feel I could have understood the map of the attraction if I had known what scenes were in the attraction

They are very clearly labeled; you can cross-reference all you want.

- I'm not sure that 15 seconds is enough time to get 16 people into a boat
Click to expand...
Probably not.
RMichael21 said:
The boats are nice, but a little more theming would have been nice
Click to expand...
They have the colors of the Tricolor, what more theming do you need? Simplicity is key.
RMichael21 said:
- Why have some scene names in French and other in English? That's not very consistent
Click to expand...
VERY true. Again, we should only go the extra mile with the French names if we're going to do it right.

- I'm not going to comment on each description, but they are definitely a highlight of the concept and VERY well done

Thank you!

- Nazi flags... While this bit of history is many decades behind us, I still feel that the world is sensitive to this and that (especially Jewish and German guests) would be offended.
Click to expand...
We didn't show any of the horrors of the Holocaust, simply Paris under Nazi occupation. A select few might be offended, but there's ALWAYS a possibility that someone will be offended.

- I don't think the transition between Perseverance and moderne works, there's too much of a gap in time
Click to expand...
That's funny, because we actually went BACKWARD in time a bit to the Villa Savoye.

Its not that hard actually. You just use a double loading dock similar to Pirates. That way you double the amount of time you have (30 seconds) to load guest into the boats and they launch to a holding area until the path ahead of them is clear to proceed. The capacity is actually very similar to Pirates and Small World
