Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris
- Thread starter Jwhee
- Start date
It was cancelled. That’s why I’m still dreaming. Because it’s a wish your heart makes.

Nice that they're concerned about capacity. But... hear me out... put in two of them.

That would probably be overkill for a flat ride. Silly Symphony never has a wait in a much more attended park.
I’ll point to Epic as well and its carousel waits despite the park being woefully under capacity for demand. You don’t need 2k throughput on most flat rides.

Agreed. I've not done the maths but it feels like the wave swinger will be at the top end of capacity for a Disney flat ride so no need for two.

Not sure why they couldn’t have added a fountain package to the wave swinger. Maybe something more subtle than this, but certainly elevates the ride several notches.
Literally everything they’ve announced, with maybe the exception of Lion King, feels very half baked. This goes all the way back to Avengers campus and the terrible Spiderman ride, which is in my opinion the single worst Disney ride, for what it is, that I’ve ever been on.

You haven't ridden crush's coaster then ?

Oh I’d go on that every day over Spiderman which is a once done never again experience for me.
It’s dreadful, given the source material they had to work with (and universals effort 20 years prior)
And I would be the other way round. I would take crush's coaster out even if it was replaced by a dance party. Worst coaster I have ever ridden.

I'm interested to hear some pushback on Crush's Coaster, to be honest! Beyond the capacity, that is.
I quite like it, but I do think they could surely do something better in terms of theming once you get into the main coaster part which is supposed to the EAC. If that ever goes down for an extended refurb, I would like to see them try and make it look less obviously like a coaster in a big building with lights, projects, and some mesh-type material here and there.
On the other hand, its popularity already far outstretches capacity, so why would they bother?

Haha that’s a wild take, I’d like to invite you to try some of the coasters on offer in the UK
Don’t mean to be overly negative about DLP, there’s clearly a lot of love that goes into the entertainment and upkeep, but I do find the decisions made on this park, and the timeframes involved, highly questionable.
This park needs HELP. California Adventure needed help and got it, I think this park will feel nicer but lacks substance when they could have delivered both.
2 flats and a close copy of a 10 year old ride in Epcot. A rethemed coaster (that they had to add more to) and imo a terrible Spiderman ride.
The areas look nice but the rides….sheesh.

Webslingers also looks bad because it's one of only 6 major rides in the park, and that includes Cars Road Trip.
If after Frozen and Lion King they add the Avengers E-ticket, Stark Roboarm and another top tier headliner than it will work fine as a C-ticket dark ride (and no I don't think it's that great either).

Webslingers suffers from its main element, shooting webs without any equipment, not living up to dreamed expectations. The tech simply isn’t there. I wonder why this wasn’t accepted at some point in development.
Crush is great. The dark ride portion is fine, the coaster part is a hoot. My main gripes are capacity and indeed the ‘wharehouse with a character slapped on it’ look. Which forever is a certain segment of management’s dream of what a Disney park can be.
The whole WDSP expansion is underwhelming. Lion King looks terrific and might become one of the resort’s highlights. Frozen looks underwhelming, in particular the ride, a copy of a shoehorned in quick overlay. It remains to be seen how the area will compare to Tokyo and HK. The rest is fluff and filler that doesn’t seem to communicate with one another. Maybe this adventure park could get a movies theme or something, and then stand-alone movie attractions can be added, such as Rise. GE falls a bit flat and doesn’t need a copy, but surely porting over Rise to Europe will be a massive hit. Or set it in the original trilogy.

Sunk cost fallacy and the desire to say they did something unique and different
The upcharge option to buy the equipment is an added bonus to Disney (not the consumer)
I’ll give you some more ! We’ve only ridden it once since 2019 since it had zero wait in autumn 2020 with Covid lockdowns in Europe. We don’t care for it. Conversely we enjoy Web Slingers and find it a fine fit for the Paris park.

I also think that WEB Slingers gets more hate than it deserves. I often think that because it doesn't fit as well in DCA (partly due to close proximity to Toy Story Mania) that people think it doesn't fit at DAW. But it is currently only 1 of 2 dark rides in the park, and 1 of 6 rides without a height requirement. As someone who can't stomach thrill rides, Web Slingers is a nice addition, and its a lot better than Armageddon ever was
Crush's Coaster is good for being a unique attraction for that park that doesn't look like its ever going to be duplicated (something of a rarity for WDS despite the park's bad reputation), it's just not for me because of the spinning

This is such an enlightening thread on hidden views of WDS attractions!
Must say that I don't love WEB Slingers, but after riding it at WDS I couldn't quite understand why it got so much hate. Could well be that it fits more awkwardly into the DCA attraction mix and that's where it comes from, as it also seems to me like one of those attractions that rounds out the offerings at WDS pretty nicely. For the resort as a whole, having Buzz (which I personally prefer to both WEB and Midway Mania) at Disneyland and WEB Slingers at the Studios seems a reasonable way to handle a specific genre of attraction and different IPs between the two parks if you set aside the Discoveryland placement for a moment.
