Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Kram Sacul]

So it is possible to have a Marvel land without turning Tower of Terror into a joke.

Looks like there may be a new parade route too..

Tower is fine either way. I wouldn't have thought that after riding at DCA. Now TOT at DHS is a different story.

 

[Phroobar]

Iron Man is at HKDL.

Looking at the concept art, it's coming to WDS Paris too.

Is the parks footprint actually getting bigger?

Yep, by quite a lot! This will at least double the parks size. Everything at the end of that long path is new land.

And looks like there’s at least 3 empty pads for future expansion

hey, wait a minute...

where's pandora?

It looks like theres plenty of room to the East of the new lake when they do eventually want to add it in. Looks as though its a long empty pathway at the moment.

There was talk from the last aborted expansion of running the tour purely to the north of the new blvd (Cat Can side) with additional scenes around the forest. We’ll see.

Ha! The tour is essentially how to make expansion pads useful until it's time to build something new.

Interesting that the concept art doesn't have ToT reskinned. If I were a betting man I'd bet for sure the retheme would be a shoe-in for something like this. Hope all the lands shown here are actually built. This park is lacking in every area that makes Disney, well, Disney. Lack of theme, lack of "wow"-type attractions, and generally not enough to do, even if you do decide to see every show, parade and meet and greet.

There's a lot going on in this artwork... knowing history says this gets scaled back a few times...

 

[jaxonp]

I wonder if they will attempt to bring some sort of EPCOT/festival vibe around that lake like they do at DCA with all the festivals and such?

I'm fine with festivals actually. I just hope this doesn't mean more of this:

 

[RunningKoen]

I'm so thrilled about this. The detailled concept art from twitter is amazing.

At the end of this, it's distinctly possible that Epcot will be the worst Disney theme park in the world.

No, what about... er, no... but there's also... hmm...

Motors Action Stunt show also seems to still be there, might just be a retheming?

 

[Ismael Flores]

More thoughts:
1) That's going to be one long walk from the front gate back to Frozen.
2) This park (similar to DHS) has too many dead ends. I wonder if they'll address this with say a back pathway from Marvel to SWL?

The announcement does say that the lake will connect these three new areas so there should be plenty of walkways connecting them as well

 

[Ismael Flores]

Looking at the Marvel area, it look like Armageddon, Lights Motors Action and RocknRollercoaster are going away. Maybe RNRC and Armageddon are being rethemed?

They announced that RNRC will be rethemed to Avengers, some concept art was released a while back. Nothing has been said about Armageddon
