Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris
- Thread starter Jwhee
- Start date
Seems to be a stop gap kind of thing. The Arena long term was apparently meant to go. Then Covid happened. The garage was repurposed. Perhaps noise from the cars would be considered too obtrusive for the new lane. Hopefully this would be a short stay thing since making it Avengers with cars might not be worth it. It’s not something I’d run to.
As having dolphins or animals in a park is not very popular, maybe car shows doesn't excite everyone as well nowadays.

Yeah. To me this feels like Cars Road Trip just on the opposite side of the park, a short term 'capacity absorber' that won't attract guests but will give them something to do. I am assuming they think next year will continue to be strong from an attendance perspective and not the usual post anniversary drop off as WDSP will have this and the Pixar show as additional capacity next year or they are just seeing a shift in attendance from DLP to WDSP.
I feel like everyone is too critical about these minor additions that are being added to WDSP... people still complain that the Hollywood Studio's expansion didn't add capacity and only added E/D tickets and there was no filler... everyone expected updated shows in place of BATB and Little Mermaid but that never happened etc. Whereas when Frozen opens in 2025 there will be 5 stage shows all less than 10 years old, I think 4 5 years or less.
But they are not well-themed filler/capacity designed to support the rest of the park, they are mostly poor cheap stop-gaps that will overstay their welcome.

Wasn't there supposed to be another flat ride? Related to The Little Mermaid?

Sooo, we still don't know what the other land will be around the lake other than Frozen? I don't really care what the IP is... but this park needs a headliner E-Ticket, WDSP just has a lot of filler attractions, and in my opinion the park's best ride is still Tower of Terror.

that backstage marina looks big... even bigger than Epcots?
It’s a wide angle lens, but even so.

They really need Avengers Campus to get the Thanos E-Ticket

They keep showing off the Frozen coaster for Hong Kong. I find it completely baffling that they’ve not included it in Paris. It’s an absolute guaranteed hit.

Not only that, there building a giant mountain, it's such a waste to use the mountain to just hide a flat water ride, they easily could have used the space above the ride to build a coaster going through and around the mountain.
