I think this project will never happen. Paramount discontinued their licence agreement with the resort's holding company: RESORT PLANNING APPLICATION REMAINS ON TRACK FOR NOVEMBER 2017 AS PARAMOUNT AND LRCH DISCONTINUE LICENCE AGREEMENT Today, London Resort Company Holdings Limited (“LRCH”) and Paramount Licensing Inc. (“Paramount”) have jointly agreed to discontinue the licence agreement for the proposed entertainment resort. This announcement does not have an effect on the timing of the planned Development Consent Order (DCO) submission for the resort in November 2017. Humphrey Percy, CEO, LRCH, said: “We want to express our sincere thanks to the many members of the Paramount team who have worked with us since we took over the Project in August 2013. This announcement does not have an effect on the timing of our planned Development Consent Order (DCO) submission in November 2017. We are working closely with the local authorities, landowners and local community, as well as our other stakeholders, and we very much look forward to showing our plans to the public as part of our final stage of consultation prior to submitting later this year.” “We are creating a unique entertainment destination offering a scale and quality unprecedented in the UK where much loved characters and stories will be brought to life from iconic movies, television, books, electronic gaming and toys. Just 17 minutes from Central London, one of the most visited cities in the world and with an investment of £3.2 billion, the resort will be a global tourist destination.” In line with the agreement between LRCH and Paramount, the terms are confidential.

Amazing news as The Walt Disney Company's takeover bid of the resort is officially in place as of today. TWDC now own 97.08% of Euro Disney SCA. They are thereby required by law to buy out the remaining shares and take the company off the Paris Stock Exchange. More info here. Maybe there'll be something to announce at D23?

It looked intentional to me, though I thought it was an odd choice. It's more of a Nepal vibe than Chinese. -

Went on Dragekongen on opening day, it's a very fun ride with a surprising amount of force. It does have a bit of a rattle in some places, but overall a very successful addition to Djurs Sommerland. -
Hyperspace Mountain is currently in Soft Opening with no effects inside the dome. Skip to 1 minute in the video below to see the new trains leaving the station: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] The effects will be switched on after the VIP Star Wars Nights event on Friday/Saturday. ---- The park will also start selling VIP Fastpasses from next week. €90 per day for unlimited Fastpasses for any ride or €15 for a single use Fastpass for any ride. The regular Fastpass system will still be in place, this is more to attract wealthy customers. ---- Walt Disney Studios will host an EDM festival in July called Electroland. Steve Aoki will be headlining and tickets are already on sale: https://www.ticketmaster.fr/fr/manifestation/electroland-standard-billet/idmanif/400390

I hope something like this will come to Disneyland Paris eventually. -

Can't wait to go on this in May! -
The park live streamed all the new entertainment offerings for the 25th Anniversary today. 25th Anniversary Launch Ceremony: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Mickey Presents: Happy Anniversary Disneyland Paris: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] The Starlit Princess Waltz: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Disney Stars on Parade: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] The audio in this video isn't so great as they switch from different locations. There were some technical issues with the dragon from the looks of it, apparently it worked at the beginning of the parade.
