Where is the Eiffel Tower?

[OliveMcFly]

Where exactly does the Eiffel Tower in Epcot sit? I think they could of had a cool attraction like Las Vegas if they would have made it accessible to the guests. Just wondering...HeHe

It sits behind the France Pavillion on an un-interesting, un-themed, square building.

The Eiffel tower in Epcot is in the France Pavillion in World Showcase. I don't get the Las Vegas thing, could you explain what you mean?

The Eiffel Tower at Epcot is basically just a background set to make France look a little more like France unlike the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel in Las vegas which is an actual structure which you can go in and up and has a restaurant....

So it sits in a little square building? Interesting...I love the behind the scenes things. I understand it's just for decoration but it would be cool if it were an attraction.

On, not in. Huge difference.

I also have a thing for behind the scenes stuff. I wish I could go on a Backstage Magic tour but you have to be 16. Oh well, we may not be able to get back to WDW for another year, so maybe I can go then

I take it it is back, then? Last I had remembered it was not there. Kind of wierd. My friend and I were looking at France saying "something's missing" until it finally occured to us they took out the Eiffel Tower.

Yes, when I went last November it was gone. But I just went on Friday and it's back

 

[Atta83]

Yeah its just sitting there and everything not an ride not an attraction sorry.....

You forget this is Disney---anything is possible

Also, on the same note...the eiffel tower in WS is 1/10 the scale of the original, which means it must be 100 metres tall!

 

[josh_e_washie]

wait a second...that can't make sense...i know that the eiffel tower is 1000 metres tall...and that a fact I read said it is 1/10 the scale...so that would mean that it is 328 feet tall..that makes NO sense...can someone help me here? Is it 1/20 the scale?!! Ahh! I think I opened a pandora's box on the boards!:lol:

 

[marni1971]

If you shrank to 1/10 of your size you would fit in.... try Body Wars, and walk out before your are blown back up to regualr size.... :lol:

Eiffel Tower

If any of you have ever been behind the scenes you would not want to have an attraction that is above the park. All of the magic occurs out in the parks at ground level. All of the junk is behind the scenes.

yep... ya sure did.

And just to stoke the fire, the Eiffel tower is only about 1000 FEET tall. The official website lists the total height as 324 meters.

Yea I admit, I looked it up. I was curious!
