The new version of flight force should be introduced in the next few days apparently!
(Almost) bang on schedule. Again it’s nice to see opinion about attractions being taken onboard.

Can't say I'm overly excited about this apart from doesn't this validate a bit the "in the knows" who teased this alongside the bigger stuff (lion king, Pandora galaxy's edge).
Of course, even if all that good stuff is planned, plans don't always become reality.

Wasn’t mini galaxy’s edge always coming to WDS, the park is already a thematic mess but at least it will fill some more space down near frozen
WDS probably has the biggest capacity to absorb boring copy lands from other parks because it expands paris offerings without actually sticking things in Disneyland that don’t fit and built out DCA/DHS show that messy hodgepodge parks can still be fun if they have plenty to do, WDS’s problem was always just that it was a hodgepodge, but also a tiny boring hodgepodge

In one respect WDSP was ahead of it's time being a messy hodgepodge of IP... it set the template for Epcot, DHS, DCA to follow...

It definitely preceded most of the other second gates in being a place to shove weirdly out of place IP’s, only DisneySea and AK so far have avoided it and AK looks set to get zootopia and TDS fantasysea so even that’s changing and with GE, tron, arendelle and zootopia it’s even spreading to the castle parks
Regardless I’ll take messy IP filled WDS that both is bigger than what we have now and maintains Disneyland Paris thematic integrity over trying to buildout its core theme making an old MGM style park but that might be more due to the fact that I just don’t like studios parks anyway

Oh I agree. I am so happy WDSP is next door to DLP so they can dump most of the ill-fitting IP there and not in the main park. I'm good with a Star Wars Land behind Discoveryland as it'll be quite inoffensive and it should mean we lose Hyperspace Mountain.
And I was kind of joking about the irony that the worst Disney park has become the model that other parks are indirectly following of an IP dumping ground.

I thought GE was meant to be next to frozen at the back of WDS, not inside main Disneyland

That was shut down a long time ago
It was. Now things aren’t so clear despite WDSP still needing it.

"Alice in Wonderland BMX Stunt Show" reads like the result of a Disney Parks Mad Libs game.

The White Rabbit can often be found on rollerblades in parades at Disneyland. He memorably had them for Parade of Dreams for (and after) the 50th, but occasionally also appears with them in other various small street performances
Given that it's always the White Rabbit on rollerblades and never any other characters, I've always assumed it was a weird throwback to Adventures in Wonderland, which has otherwise been completely forgotten by Disney and the general public alike. The idea that this upcoming show for Paris may also trace its roots back to it may not be so far-fetched.

Can't wait to see the new Mary Poppins water ski show on the lake either.
While it sounds quite unusual, I am glad they are using the arena for a new show. Would be a wasted space otherwise. Does anyone know whether the entrance to the arena will be via the new English Garden area? If yes, would this mean that this part of the expansion area will already partially open with the new show next year?
