Ah see that still sounds amazing and would be a great attraction, just not at the expense of The Great Movie Ride.

Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris
- Thread starter Jwhee
- Start date
Would been cool but im not a fan of studios aesthetics unless theres a real studio like in USH. Still would been much much better then what they built though. Also my biggest what if is IJ and the lost expedition.God that original Disney-MGM Studios Europe is my biggest what if with the company. It would have taken the Golden Age of Hollywood and real studio setting of WDW's Studios while eliminating the original's flaws, mainly with WDW's being designed as a half day park with limited expansion space. This one would have been big, beautiful and full of action (also how I like my women)
My only dislike of the original line-up was the replacement of The Great Movie Ride with a show. Wich ended up being Cinemagique in the actually built park. While that show was wonderful and I would love to see its return, the lack of GMR would have been noticeable.

And i was correct. The endless delay was pointless.

It would have been a working studio as well. The red dash line in the overhead picture depicts the actual production area.

Any particular reason why Virtual Space Mountain wasn't just moved to elsewhere on property?
Pass. I’d forgot about that !

I only know about it because it's clearly highlighted on the 2002 park map, which given the sparse line up makes sense.

Yeah... it did. It was a studio in the same way that Jim Belushi is just as talented and funny as his brother John was...

Nice editing (as always !) but the expansion pads of both the 4th land of WDSP and Discoveryland are not accurate, permits for Star Wars were never meant to be released with Frozen's, Pandora (if built) won't be a smaller version of DAK, the Lion King land will not feature the decaying DAK show as its main experience but an E-ticket, and so on.
Hence the reason why, in journalism, people expect sources rather than the vague "according to insiders" mention

DLP PR teams never wanted to let D23 Expo or Destination announce anything major for the European resort (because of the time difference mainly), I doubt it will change anytime soon...

2027 ?!?!!?!?! What are they building an entire new park with that sort of nonsensical timescale.
Ridiculous.
Just build some attractions in a normal timescale for crying out loud !

Frozen 2025.
Next land 2027. [Corrected my mistype.]
No point building something quicker when most people visit infrequently.

It actually is a normal timescale. According to P. Cornelis in the book Investment Thrills an investment has about 3 years of impact on the attendance. The first year is the most with it decreasing each year after. So having a large scale investment every 2/3 years in an existing park is more than enough to drag out the return on investment through visitor growth. Once investments stop there will be a bounce back effect, but it can be resolved by investing every 2/3 years.

The irony because you also have a problem with the speed they’re quickly building a whole new Universal theme park opening in 2025. Going by your statement above, 4-5 years is now a reasonable amount of time to build a new theme park.
