Also some news for DLP, but I expect less.

Something is about to begin testing phase ...

What's this possible boat ride?

I don't think I've heard about this before

 

[Trekkie101]

There’s a boat in the WDS expansion image on the lake.

Ah ok, thanks

So like Epcot's friendship boats

 

[Trekkie101]

Identical I think - I’ve been round to the building site but the lake isn’t going to be world showcase sized. So I assume they’ll be smaller.

I think everyone has their own hopes and ideas for WDSP and DLP. I don't think Pandora is feasible in the French climate like Jungle Cruise, unless it was set within a biodome, but I don't think the floating islands could be pulled off within an indoor environment.

Cars Land or Toontown seem like the logical options, but I wouldn't mind seeing something original or based on a different IP.

 

[Indy_UK]

I would like them to now just hold off on building anymore coasters, I think there's enough. Some better theming on areas that are already there like Crushes coaster would be good too

 

[UpAllNight]

They need to diversify from WDW....why would Europeans visit WDW as well if they can access everything in Paris? There’s a big crowd that will do both...often DLP is a stepping stone to Orlando.

 

[Trekkie101]

More of the park is based on California than Orlando - even the way it runs/organises events.

 

[Indy_UK]

I doubt the number of Europeans who do Paris go to California when on a daily rate, you may as well go to Orlando. California is on our list but stuff like Marvel at Paris is what I want to see.

Visit Wall Disney Studios from this month until 2021 !
With Armageedon now closed, there ares fences from Tower of Terror to Moteurs Action Stunt Show. As a consequences Moteurs Action has a new entrance behing Tower of Terror

That's progress? Art of Animation and Cars Rallye Quatre Roues will reopen by the end of the year... maybe Disney Junior too? I'm not sure how long DJ the conversion took into DHS/DCA?

 

[DLRP NEWS]

Cars should reopen in October, Art of Animation in November. Disney Jr is expected to reopen next year. But in October will be closed :

• Backlot (Armageedon, RNRC, Restaurant des stars, Blockbuster Cafe)
• Art of Animation
• Disney Jr

With ZERO show in the park !

the only one truly mist will be rock, the rest is boring anyway. But I do fear the long lines for food with two major places closes.

Looks like the renovation of the ToT facade is nearing completion? Or did they have to wait to start for insurance reasons/legal disputes and had to cover scaffolding up? Anyway, we knew this was going to be really bad until the first phases open... Any ideas on how they're going to deal with this? Will they charge the same prices till the end of the construction?

How would weather impact Pandora in Paris?
Both rides are completely indoors

Radiator Springs Racers on the other hand doesn't operate under rain / snow

 

[SweetDuffy101]

If Paris really wanna have an all indoor area, They should build like Mermaid Lagoon type area, with C and D ticket rides a restaurant and a theater.

I think this is a good idea, id still consider Avatar as the IP with a show like the cirque one, or ideally an indoor tron land where you enter the game grid

 

[peep]

indoor tron land where you enter the game grid

Entering via Flynn's arcade into a full blown Tron area would be incredible. It'll never happen but one can dream.

Wasn’t there supposed to be a big event today, tomorrow and saturday with new info on the expansions?
