Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[Aramar]

That's why I'm still kind of surprised this rumour turned out to be true: it is one of those things that sounds good as a blue sky proposal, but when you start looking into what a Lion King land would be in practice...

Many years ago, when Disney wanted to make a Broadway musical based on the Lion King, everybody thought it would be very strange on stage and a weird choice. It turned out to be one of the longest running musicals in many countries and a huge hit.

As for the Parisian weather, we can say we're visiting the African plains during the wet season. It's not always sunny and hot in Africa!

Really need to do something about the backside of the Stunt Show arena

The arena probably isn't going to be there forever. Down the line I bet Disney is eyeing it for some sort of Avengers Campus expansion exclusive to Paris.

Next bit of area to open up soon (with ToT Fastpass building behind new walls for construction of the gift shop)

Do you think we'll get a Frozen opening date at the April 12 press event?

Yes

I assume that’s the grey structure in the distance behind the barrier?

Nice updates, although I wouldn’t say the stained glass windows are “clearly visible” exactly!

Not necessarily exclusive but it indeed is Avengers expansion space.

I don't think we'll get an opening date but something like an opening season, eg Spring 2026. DLP doesn't like to announce actual dates a long time before, look at Avengers Campus, the day was announced less than two months to opening.

It was on the plan so not a surprise.

I'd say its a safe bet, that DCA's Infinity Defense ride (or a version of it) will eventually make its way here.

It seems like an easy upgrade to Paris's Avengers Campus so it probably won't happen anytime soon.

It’s a boring unthemed box of a show broke so it will fit in for sure

That says, the Infinity Defense ride itself looks good.

Must say the long boulevard is starting to look quite pleasant as the trees start to sprout leaves. Nice to see them also finally begin to plant trees on the berm at the back of the park.

Not sure if there's a dedicated thread for Universal Studios that's coming to the UK, but maybe someone here can help me find the correct one?
