Ah yeah I got confused with HKDL's Marvel location. So maybe HKDL's mountain will be a tall as Paris' but for a different reason - needing to be higher looking than their new castle.

Buying annual passes if it turns out to be a moana coaster. Or vaiana coaster, it's europe after all.#fanboy

As much as I love Jungle Cruise, what makes Jungle Cruise so great is the puns and other word nuances that would fall flat in a different language. And I think that doing a mix of French and English like they do in some shows there would lessen the experience for all.

Why would Moana get a coaster and not a water ride?

I thought I read somewhere that they were thinking of a Moana coaster in Magic Kingdom Adventureland and they decided on the Tron coaster instead? It does get very cold in Paris, if it was a water ride maybe a lot of it would need to be indoors to get the tropical feeling.

Just reacting to the post before me. I'm up for anything moana related. Even a moana carrousel would work for me

Apologies for whipping you up in unsubstantiated Moana rumour-excitement! (Are you going to FanDaze btw?)

It's worth pointing out again that the new Frozen show building in HKDL is significantly larger that Epcot's show building. By about a good 40%, maybe even 50%. I'm very confused on that project being described as a scene-for-scene Epcot clone. I kind of have to imagine at the very least it is plussed with reconfigured boats for capacity sake.
I also agree that the Paris land, as described, uses even larger facades than is planned for Hong Kong. I presume implying a larger show building.

let's also not forget that all of this is just concept art at the moment.
if the new avatar movies are a success i could see paris getting pandora after all.
here you can find more speculation:

One thing I don’t like from these plans is that Disney haven’t taken the opportunity to make a central icon for the park - the design reminds me of a universal park where you have different areas around a lagoon with no central focus like the castle, tree of life etc. I know we have the earful tower, tower of terror and frozen mountain but there isn’t anything which will stand out to identify the park which i think is a real shame

That’s the Iger way.
A park icon would suggest the park has a theme or a message. Clearly something Iger and current Disney have no interest in.

I thought their icon was the water tower like MGM's was?
The Water Tower is used a sort of icon. However, it isn't a photo place like the castles or other park icons of WDW are. It's more a forgotten piece of decoration.

It's been posted in another thread already (and as @fradz mentioned last week) Disney Village is officially now going to be "renewed," as the Vice President of Euro Disney says in a Forbes article that this is the "next step" after the attractions have been renewed. I don't know if that's part of the 2.4 billion? But it sounds like once they've completed Phantom Manor, Disney Village will be worked on next - even before visible WDS expansion work? https://www.forbes.com/sites/csylt/...to-french-entertainment-complex/#c6d55844bfc2
That area will finally look as beautiful as Fantasia Gardens hopefully. I can just imagine seeing that Frozen mountain over and through the Studio building arch from a beautiful Disney Springs style area once leaving the train station!
And actually I think that mountain beyond the studio building with the Walt Disney name on, makes for one pretty cool icon.

Iger said this will be done by 2025. That seems....excessive.

Oh okay, so does the Vice President mean "next step" in regard to things being "renewed"?

It was, and it wasn’t even in a guest accessible area. At least this park’s water tower is right by the entrance.
Paris Studios has an Earfel Tower upfront and will have the Frozen castles inside dead center like it was a castle park. It looks like the ice castle will be up and behind the Arendelle castle and they'll both be reflected in the lake. I'm betting a few years after those castles are built, they'll become the main symbol for the parc.
