Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

Whilst it isn't new, Frozen Ever After will be Disney Adventure World's 1st boat ride, 2nd dark ride, and 1st attraction with more than one audio animatronic. This phase definitely seems to be more a staging phase by adding Frozen at the back of the lake, effectively creating multiple expansion plots they could use in the future that were previously hard to access

Absolutely random thought. But at DCA is believed the backlot ( and thus the MONSTERS INC ride ) will be going away. What’s the opinion on bringing this over to DAW as an added dark ride to the Pixar area. It’s no E ticket but it’s decent dark ride that would be a shane just to trash.

I imagine they'll find some way to repurpose the animatronics, but idk how they would bring everything else over to another park, especially considering how far away Paris is from Anaheim.

Lots of visible construction progress now; carved surfaces on the mountain, lampposts around the lake, a new (?) small pavilion next to Frozen, roof work on the lakefront restaurant and more mosaic paving for Adventure Way.

Strange their saying 2026, when late 2025 looks doable at first glance.

I can see them opening the Toy Story Garden, Rapunzel Garden and Adventure Way in 2025, before the lake and Frozen opens in 2026

That would probably put the opening at 2028. In the intern, Hopefully they can fast track another attraction for Avengers Campus. WDSP's is looking sad compared to DCA's now.
I agree! I have actually been wondering if the DCA Avengers E-ticket can be closed for the Paris Avengers Campus? Its a pretty simple "black box" attraction that could be worked into the seating stadium portion of the old Light Motors show. With a Queue building and facade closer to the Hero Training Center meet and greet facility. It would be nice to get a new attraction every 18 to 24 months for this park with Frozen / Lion King / Avengers. I am also holding out hope an Avatar ride an area eventually makes its way to WDSP.

I could be wrong (and I admit I wasn't convinced Lion King was happening for quite a while) but I haven't seen any signs DLP are interested in Marvel expansion right now (being put off by the constant limbo the original DCA attraction was in) and during that time focused on projects for Disneyland Park and WDSP instead.

They'll rather send all the animatronics and props to DHS as they won't necessarily need advanced AAs in the gravity building section of their door coaster.

Is where the Alice show the only expansion area they could have for Avengers campus now?

I think so, there is a backstage road right behind the stadium and a little bit of land, but to the East of Avengers Campus are the train tracks

And remove 2 attractions in a park that needs more?

Not saying that it’s a good idea just that they could expand the Avengers that way if they so wished. Let’s not pretend they wouldn’t replace attractions instead of building something entirely new.

And it’s not like the currently closed Disney Jr theatre and Stitch Live are currently processing a load of guests a day.

But yes I agree it’s better to build a new attraction on an empty plot than replacing other attractions.
