Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[BrianLo]

Do we really need another 7DMT? Like this expansion is already being hampered by being last to the party for frozen and still somehow being the worst of the frozen lands unless you count norway as a frozen land

As a land it’s likely better than Tokyo’s, which is not a very good sub land. If you are referring to the land itself and not the ride.

Tokyo’s sub land is kinda awful from a land perspective but the ride more than makes up for it especially since both only have one ride unlike Hong Kong

Like if you are going for the design of arendelle then HK beats it, if you are going for ride quality then Tokyo beats it

Not much guest overlap but still, kinda takes the wind out of the marketing sails

As much as people think Cars Road Trip is lame, this map illustrates why I'd prefer they use other expansion plots (and replace the LMA theater) first before they scrap it.

Indeed, it just needs some money thrown at it. The next addition should go between Frozen and Cars Road Trip. Particularly the River bend is nicely laid out to tuck a show building back into.

I still think a unique Pandora over a half baked Rise/Galaxies Edge clone. The latter feels like a Universal approach to their parks. Way of Water’s break out market remains France.

I also think it's just silly to spread Star Wars across the 2 parks*, something Disney has yet to do elsewhere

*Yes, I know and saw that Fireworks show WDSP used to have. Was good. I'm fine with the IP in shows

We do not need another 7DMT... it's a budget cut coaster that was unfortunately cloned once and doesn't need to be done a second time.

Amen

I’m the opposite. Keep Pandora out (unless they can turn the screen attraction into an E ticket and one that lasts 20 minutes).

Or better move Star Tours to WDSP to complement Rise and use the whole back of Discoveryland for new things that fits the land. But that would be IP free so would never happen under Iger.

Does SEA count as an IP because discoveryland could easily work as part of an SEA expansion similar to the American waterfront

I’d actually be fine dumping Star Wars into WDS if it means getting a lot of haphazard IP out of Parc Disneyland. Parc Disneyland is flawless from a magic kingdom design perspective without haphazard modern IP
