Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[UpAllNight]

The placement of Tower of Terror bothers me in this park. I believe someone posted a concept with support buildings to make it look a little less plonked down, but it’s very awkwardly there.

I also find it bonkers that they’ve never added Toy Story Mania to the park.

The new entrance looks good and I like the look of the paving - that sort of thing elevates the feel of the park.

It is strange, but it was planned from before building the park. Akin to the castle being the other side of Town Square. Or SSE.

But I dare say we’re used to it by now.

Seems not.

I for one won’t welcome the intrusion on the skyline.

Wait, sorry, not sure I understand. Do you mean the WDW-style Tower of Terror system will be used for it or something altogether different?

Webslingers suffers from its main element, shooting webs without any equipment, not living up to dreamed expectations.

Something different it seems - as odd as that does seem. Personally I’d be surprised if they didn’t recycle the WDSP / DCA system

My oh my, Crush some sort of Barnstormer, Web Slingers the new Rise…

* shakes head in disbelief, ropedrops right *

Anyone who thinks crush is more than a primeval hurl style ride , indoors with a glitterball is riding it with eyes closed. It doesn't warrant the excessive hype and queues it receives.

Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a first look at new bronze statues installed in Gazebo Garden:

I wonder if when this project is "done" (Lion King), they'll turn some attention to the main attraction herself, Disneyland Paris. She really could use a new ride, or three.

This honestly seems like a bit of a step backwards to me in terms of placemaking.

All of the other theatres have screens as part of their marquees to some extent so it kind of makes sense. The new timings screens for Mickey and the Magician looked much better in person than they did in photos when I saw them recently. Plus assuming they are animated it adds some kinetics to draw people in.

DLP Rescue Rangers appears to have flown a drone above Disneyland Paris and this fascinating "new ride" was spotted. It appears to be a test section for the new Lion King Flume with the steel for a lift hill rising and a long flume section constructed around it. What is insane is that in many amusement parks, this would be the complete ride and be a great success. The scale of the finished Lion King ride will be crazy!

DLP/DAW is getting a serious improvement and when LK is done ill probably fly over and check out both parks.
