Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[TheDisneyParksfanC8]

I think there were rumors that eventually the cars tour would go away and that would be used for Avatar, But with the concept art now showing a large space between LK and Frozen, Maybe avatar goes there and another land or large single E ticket goes where Cars is now?

I'd like to know if they paid anyone external for the idea to rename it all Adventure something

The sad part is that there’s probably someone in marketing who is super proud of the name and how well they SEO and focus grouped it and the like

I believe the other two pads around the lake would be used first. I think Paris doesn't want to clear the forset they have where Cars tour is.

Is the covenant still on the wooded area around Road Trip?

The rumoured Avatar plot is between Frozen (well the backstage infrastructure area for the night show) and Cars.

Well now

Well now

They should completely tear down that building and expand the Hollywood-ish area from ToT (similar to sunset boulevard at DHS or buena vista street at DCA). MMRR would fit there perfectly space wise and it would really enhance that ugly corner of the park.

The building is due some cosmetic changes and more landscaping.

There’s thought now this closure might be temporary but we’ll see

When the park is renamed to DAW, what will be the park icon?

It'll still be the water tower probably. It was in the D23 model, with an updated logo

With a person on horse jumping off of the tower diving into a raised pool of water.

Adventure!!

I hope it remains the water tower, but I could see either Arendelle castle of the Tower of Terror become the main icon.

My money would be on the former considering how popular Frozen is.

Can you imagine the following:
A park named "Adventure World";
Upon entrance you are immersed into Hollywood respectively a cinematic journey through the worlds of different movies;
This park could have "Arendelle Castle" as the main icon...or a lake.

I don't even know if I wanna laugh or cry.

We can cry together

I'm liking the pavers in the central pathway to the lake

Honestly these new IP style parks make it difficult to have an icon. When there’s nothing really unifying the theme of the whole park it makes it difficult to have an icon that represents the whole park.

Universal parks have never really had icons the way Disney parks did, and it’s probably for that very reason. And it seems like Disney is moving away from the “every park has one icon” thing too. DCA doesn’t really have one. Hollywood Studios switches between the Chinese theater and Tower of Terror. I don’t think it’s something they actively think about or plan for in their designs anymore.

A huge shame.

I love these icon images from the 50th anniversary.

Pixar Pal-A-Round is the DCA icon. Disney uses it as the icon on the app and website, for example.
