SharkTums Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hey everybody! This thread is simple! Rather than having a million little threads about everything that goes on at the Disneyland Paris Resort, including Disneyland Paris and Walt Disney Studios Park, this thread is designed to consolidate it all into one user-friendly thread. Feel free to use it to post updates, trip reports, questions, comments, and of course, general discussion. For pictures and videos of these park as well as past updates, see TPR's Disneyland Paris Park Index Page and TPR's Walt Disney Studios Park Index Page.

Hattuchili Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I just stumbled across the following concept art from Toon Studios in a presentation Jay Rasulo gave a week ago in the USA on the Walt Disney Investor Conference. The rather atmospheric drawing is only a snapshot of how this area might look like under ideal conditions, but it shows some neat details.

Corkscrewed Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Wow! That is one awesome trailer! Hopefully, Disneyland can get something nice and exciting like that, even if it's just a random visualization that shows nothing from the actual ride. Gets me exciting just watching it. On the other hand, maybe they'll just use the same trailer and change the words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultracoasters Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Date for the (re)openning has change. Before: Now: Reasons for this change is ....... Prince Charles :shock: This is not a joke. Mariage of Prince Charles and ..(I don't now her name) his future wife will be April 9th.

Guest Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Don't know if u guys know DJ Tiësto, but he will be giving a concert to celebrate the opening. He will be playing for about 3 hours on a specially designed stage in front of the castle. Tickets will be around €119,-! Party! 8) *edit: That's €119 in stead of €199 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Meh--- doesn't look very entertaining. Looks like artists or engineers are designing these park attractions, not entertainers. La dee daa, a 50 ft tall paintbrush! Oh my! The kids will love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hattuchili Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 TIESTO AT DISNEY, APRIL 16! On April 9th Disneyland Resort Paris launches Space Mountain Mission 2. This new mission sends exploronauts to the farthest reaches of space, to go where no one has ever gone before and to discover the mysteries at the edge of the universe… On April 16th the Best DJ of the World, Tiësto, will also go where no other DJ has ever gone before… the heart of Disneyland Resort Paris! In this magical environment, Tiësto will make a unique combination between the Magic of Disney and his own Magik music during a 3 hour special Space Mountain Mission 2 show! As a pre-show, DJ Bob Sinclar will warm up the fans from all over Europe with his magical performance on the Magik Stage just in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle.

Hattuchili Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 It is a never ending story - but the opening date of Space Mountain: Mission 2 has been changed all over again. The first day of operation for all park guests is now, once again, Saturday April 9 - as originally planned. This saves the resort the work and cost to change all the promotional material. The poster on the construction fence on-site which had been changed to April 6 even prior to the official decision last week to move the date forward had been changed back by last weekend already. --Soeren opening date Saturday April 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattuchili Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Found at DLP.info. So the public opening for Space Mountain: Mission 2 is back to where it originally was April 9 - but what to do if you are in the resort in the days prior to this all important date? Well, according to the information communicated to the relevant departments internally Space Mountain will start soft opening operations Friday April 1st - no April-joke! Unfortunately we are not talking about all out public soft openings. Instead as of this date the ride is available for special utilization e.g. Castmember-Previews, a preview for travel-agents, invited guests, the press & VIP event - or a preview for shareholders and / or annual passport holders that has been rumored on the DLP.info-Forum but is not confirmed. Special "events" for selected groups will take place most propably daily till April 8. BUT according to usually well informed sources Imagineering and the management responsible for operations of the ride plan to ask normal park guests to take a ride too at least during the first weekend of the soft opening. As of now normal guests will not be allowed on the ride unrestricted. Instead expect castmembers in the area around the attraction to approach a few guests and ask them whether they want to ride SM:M2. Remember: this information is not confirmed and plans may be changed on short notice, but if you happen to be in the resort during the soft opening phase, it might be a good idea to hang out around the attraction a bit --Soeren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
