Disneyland Paris (DLP) Discussion Thread

Marvel land, Frozen land, Star Wars land, a huge ass lake and the long overdue death of the tram tour?

 

[Nrthwnd]

I wonder if they'll work Catastrophe Canyon into the new design plans, or just tear it down altogether?

 

Or just leave it as SBNO? The right side of the concept art doesn't really show anything over in that area.

[CoasterLover]

Is that a Frozen-themed Expedition Everest?!

 

Here's some slightly zoomed in version of the Arendelle area. At least from this concept, appears that the mountain is all facade and any attraction would seem to be (at least mostly) indoors.

 

[Nrthwnd]

^ Ooooooo could you zoom in and post the other areas in the art concept please? Thanks in advance!

 

(I am totally inept at doing this sort of thing, myself.)

Three Future Arendelles. Well maybe two, for now.

A01 - Designed for Tokyo Disney Sea but now, it's possibly/probably not happening.

A02 - Designed for Hong Kong Disneyland. And scheduled to open by 2020. Hopefully.

A03 - The new Arendelle for DP-WDS. Scheduled for.....?

What's been put out recently to indicate it isn't happening?

[Nrthwnd]

^ Mostly rumors. Which are just that, I know. I should have taken out that "not" in my caption.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

If anything, I'd say the fact that there being two confirmed lands themed after Frozen only bolsters TDS possibilities. Splitting costs amongst three different resorts means all three are cheaper overall.

 

That being said, i do hope that all three have their own uniqueness about them. But it does seem that this Paris version will have the most room to play with.

I've never visited Disneyland Paris, but every single review I have seen said that the Studios park felt incomplete. This is a major step in the right direction. I'm definitely intrigued to hear more details on the rides as they come out.

[gerstlaueringvar]

This is much bigger than when they were building the whole WDS park. Never seen such an aggressive expansion before!

Enjoy!

So if I am not mistaking, there are some attractions that will be removed or replaced. We know that Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will get an Iron Man theme and that CinéMagique will be replaced with a Marvel stunt show. But the attractions that I am missing in the art concept are:

- Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular

- Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic

- Armageddon: les Effets Spéciaux

[Baffles]

No loss really. All of the above attractions have dwindled in popularity over the years.

 

It would be nice for the Frozen area to feature a ride like Everest. It's a beautiful theme, so would be good for the whole family to enjoy an attraction in the land as opposed to just the littler ones, and be something else unique to Paris.

[Jew]

This will actually make it a two day resort. Hoping the other park gets some love along the way too!

Guess I need to get to Paris soon to see Lights Motor Action

[Nrthwnd]

Enjoy!

 

THANK YOU!

 

This is such a huge expansion for the Studios. Makes me wonder

if there's any $ left over (and something designed) for anything new

in the Magic Kingdom as well?

[Alice Kane]

Oui oui oui! C'est magnifique! Paris has always been culturally (and gastronomically) a traveler's destination. It totally deserves this awesome makeover of Disneyland Paris. Will be interested to follow its progress...(and a great reason to take a future look-see in person)!

I just keep looking at all the artwork...and start drooling.

 

(And I hope I'll still be around, when all of this is completed and open/running.)

 

And that vacant spot in the upper right-hand corner of the whole concept art makes me smile,

that maybe they've got something else in mind, for a future add-on to this expansion.

 

But then ~ there's been a Big Vacant Spot, in Adventureland, right beside Indy Coaster in DLP, for-e-ver.

 

#BigHintHere

Awesome that they might be adding a Swirling Aliens attraction (Left of RC Racer) in TSL. Looks like there will be plenty of room for it. (o:

[Stu K]

looks amazing ! No one else mentioned the HUGE (sorry fun spot) lake . Do we think possibly a night time show for the studios?

[Nrthwnd]

^ I'm hoping that if they're going to build a lake that big, there will probably be

on-the-water entertainment and maybe a "World of Color"-like show at night.

 

My view of the lake there and the two films represented on the other side of it,

immediately makes me think it's like a World Movie Showcase, lol.

 

With Star Wars and Frozen. So far.

From what I'm reading online: Yes for the Swirling Aliens attraction coming to Toy Story Playland, yes for the night-time show on the lake, and probably yes for some new attractions in the Magic Kingdom as well!

[cookiex]

I do hope they use some of the expansion money to spruce up Production and Animation Courtyard as well. Those fake facades on the main street seem to be gone in the concept art which puts them on the right track.

 

Backlot is the most boring-looking area in the park so it getting a full Marvel makeover is excellent.

[Nrthwnd]

It would be very nice, in or around that space where Catastrophe Canyon is, that the Indiana Jones Adventure could end up.

 

(After all the other stuff was built and running, of course.)

 

And the Raging Spirits coaster right beside it, just like at Tokyo DisneySea!

So......just dismantle and transplant the Indy Jones Coaster from the Magic Kingdom

to this new spot (and reverse it like at TDS, including the theming), leaving a

HUGE SPACE available in Adventureland for an E attraction unique to Paris' MK...?

 

Just an idea. Me and my Blue Sky-ing. No hurry.

 

P.S. Since there appears to be space around the lake for (at least) 5 more "Ports" (?),

maybe they should consider something that is a franchise to France, in family films?

Unfortunately, Tin Tin is not French, but that's what I mean about a French "Film Land."

And I think Ratatouille is fine where it is, and would be more at home in the "Pixar Land"

that's proposed for expansion.

 

Too bad Asterix has already been done.

Apart from this being an overhead view of them at TDS, the two attractions could fit quite nicely on the right side of that proposed lake. (o;

There’s already a huge space in Adventureland that’s been reserved for an Indiana Jones Adventure for decades now. No need to move Temple du Peril.

[Hilltopper39]

As popular as Toy Story Midway Mania seems to be in Orlando/Cali/Tokyo I'm kind of surprised that attraction hasn't been built at the other properties, especially considering Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Paris are all now building/have Toy Story themed sections. I wouldn't be surprised if Midway Mania ended up being added to the Paris Studios park addition since we know these concept arts are always subject to change.
