This is the most attention DLP has had at a D23 ever. Small stepsI’m sorry but ouch all around for Paris.
I had low expectations and they somehow didn’t even match that.
2026 for Frozen is truly mind blowing as well.
Not so much as a clone for the main park either.
So bad.
I could be misremembering, but I remember reading somewhere that DLP management doesn't like the idea of having the majority of rides around Adventure Bay to be water rides. Judging from the creative direction of Pandora West (DCA), I'd wager that if the land does come to the Studios/DAW in the future, it will be set in a different location from the two other Pandora lands and use a different ride system for the headliner. Fire and Ash seem to be set in a volcanic region, so if Pandora Further East comes to be, they're probably going to use that as the primary location.And if we are lucky we get the water based Avatar land next which seems to be the Pirates Shanghai boat system?
Then we have 3 boat rides next to each other. What are they thinking?
Fully agreed. In terms of scope nothing additional has been shown since the WDS 2.0 announcement in Feb 2018. Now we just know confirmed that Star Wars has been replaced by the Lion King. The US parks already have major announcements from the Turbocharged plans while DLP is waiting for those initial projects to finally open. Apart from those details around the Lion King, the big question for me is what is the timeline moving forward and if/when/how DLP will benefit from those 60 billion Turbocharged dollars. Some sources seemed very confident and insisting that DLP would benefit in a major way - even more than DLR - from those investments. Was it all just blue sky plans to pitch for the money that is now still going mainly to the US parks after all?The small steps are bigger than before, but Paris would need everything which has been announced for other parks and more like now imo. It's a miracle they survived without any real additions for 20+ years.
Also long overdue SM 3 return to its original theme, get rid of Buzz and Aladdin spinner, enlarged SW land behind Star Tours. Tear down Autopia and build 20'000 leagues/journey to center of the earth from Disneysea instead expanding the Verne theming.
Tron somewhere without ruining the theme of existing attractions would be nice.![]()
I seriously hope it's not a direct splash copy.Hopefully we get more clarity on the log flume. Not sure the art with the CGI Lion King is the latest since it shows a log flume with 1 person per row whilst the model shows 3 per row and animated Lion King.
I take it back.Insight or personal guess?
Its speeding along now.
