Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[CoasterFan27]

It did remind me of a show I saw at Futoroscope 20 years ago, of course minus drones.

I expect it will all come together into something more than the sum of its parts, and there must be almost a dozen different elements going on. I was impressed with some projection mapping on ToT and some drones in the distance so I'm sure I'll be wowed by this too. Like pov videos of dark rides, it's always more effective in person.

Kind of interested in the small glimpse of the berm and how effective it is in blocking out the outside world above the buildings of World of Frozen in this image from DLPworks on X.

Seems to mostly work, though perhaps a little more growth needed.

In regards to WOF, the Spin, and the restaurant - IMO they did a fabulous job with them, at least on the outside. Really classed the park up, which unfortunately makes the generic name stand out even more.

Either way, wonderful additions. And excited for both Lion King and Avatar, the latter of which now just seems inevitable at this point. Turbocharged, indeed.

Did they steal these from Isle of Berk?

I'll be at DLP 2 months before this opens.

They'll be AP previews at some point (Disney has confirmed this, no dates yet), but it looks like I'll have to setting for seeing all this from the parachute drop ride

Hong Kong really did luck out with Lantau when it comes to arendelle

The berm here looks decent though which is great

The berm looks sketchiest when turning left at the end of Adventure Way but I expect Lion King will solve most of those issues.

I've just got back from Epic Universe and wow - whilst I had a great time at the park - the berm is non existent and at times it's shocking in so many different ways. And whilst I do expect more from Disney seeing a few distance buildings whilst the trees grow in is better than the unsolvable issues at Epic.

anyone else see Disney may have confirmed Avatar by mistake https://.com/2025/11/long-rumored-avatar-land-possibly-hinted-at-for-disneyland-paris/

The Avatar mini land announced for DCA was probably designed from the ground up to be the cheaper to clone and easier to fit Pandora, compared to its larger and more fleshed out sister at DAK (although the boat ride is supposedly an E ticket)

That link is broken for me, do you have another or even a TLDR

They're linking to a blocked site. It was discussed a page ago, when @marni1971 mentioned looking at the names of the barge arms, one of which points to an empty plot and is labeled "NAVI". The others are named for the areas of the park they are oriented to, so the idea is that this is a reference to the Na'vi, and that it's a planned expansion. There's an allowed article here, though the title is slightly click-baity and exaggerated:

LEAKED: Plan for Avatar-themed Land at Disney Adventure World

It looks like Disneyland Paris may have inadvertently leaked plans for an Avatar-themed land for Disney Adventure World theme park

Though when It finally comes to Paris, it will be different then DCA's based on the unofficial mandate of no clones Disney seems to be operating under as of late. Might go for something other than yet another boat/water ride.

The Loki reference makes me think the stunt arena will be removed and the area behind it will be Avengers Campus expansion. Probably waiting to see the post Secret Wars slate though.

LOKI is on every arm and is likely the broader project name. It is repeated and followed by NAVI, FROZEN, RACERS, and LION in the four directions.

Here's a new look at "Disney Cascade of Lights":

Interesting that the drone formation does not appear to be the same formation as the tests at Golden Oak Ranch. Now I’m really curious about what that test was for…

Though my notion is the Paris Avengers Campus will still get a phase 2 expansion. Over in DCA, some people on this forum believe the Hyperion will go for a 5th AC attraction there.

I was wondering that too, they were more advanced drones & also had the soundtrack complete so whatever that unannounced show is must be coming in the next 6 months.
