Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Nickm2022]

I’d argue with Lion King and an Avatar land it would edge out Disney’s Hollywood Studios. DHS would still have a better entrance street but in terms of attraction line ups I feel WDS would win.

ToT- Both have, although DHS has the better version
Flight Force and Muppets coaster - exact same ride, cancel each other out
Crush’s Coaster and Slinky dog - family coasters, would possible give edge to Crush for indoor scenes.
Runaway Railway and Ratatouille - both family dark rides
Midway Mania and Spiderman - I’d give Spiderman the edge over Midway Mania
Flat rides - WDS would win hands down, all of Toy Story Land plus Flying carpets and Cars and new Tangled and UP rides vs Alien saucers at DHS
Cars Tram tour has no equivalent at DHS
Shows - WDS would win for me, Pixar and Mickey and the Magician are good theme park shows, better than Indy and Beauty and the Beast. Whatever replaces the Frozen show is possibly a wash with DHS singalong. Fantasmic vs new WDS nightime show is hard to judge yet.

Would boil down to will Frozen, Lion King and Avatar surpass Galaxies Edge and Monsters Inc.

I only respectfully disagree (in my opinion) because I think that Hollywood studios does have a consistent feel. your either in your favorite movie, or where such movie was made (Hollywood). While I think my biggest issue w the WDS transformation is (despite it being really good for the most part) the back and central part of the park (from the regal restaurant to tangled to up), are far superior and more unique in theming and overall look then the front of the park's cheap Hollywood backlot feel. Which is only Tower of Terror, and then the World Premiere building which while an improvement feels very incoherent to the back. Personally which this was demoed and a new entrance and a new code of paint for tower was built to match the beautiful white and blue color scheme of these new buildings. I also still think the outside of Nemo, the cars stuff, and Aladdin look awful compared to the new and complex worlds

Yeah, I tend to agree with this. At least the front areas of Hollywood Studies still feel like a classic Disney theme park and I do think they have been working at replacing the more awkward/empty corners of the park in recent years.

I am curious to see what this all looks at feels like once the new areas are open. Adventure Way looks really nice and I like that they have made the lake look like an actual lake rather than an artificial body of water. I am still struggling to imagine a cohesive feel in the way that I do think Hollywood Studios still manages, though. I also tend to think the whole front area of what will soon be Disney Adventure World (even that name is not especially evocative of anything) needs a more substantial re-think, but I understand money is not limitless.
