Disney Adventure World

This is certainly a cheap ass way to give Cars an "Attraction"...

It's not a Cars attraction, it's a CARS attraction: Cheap Ass Retrofit Savings.

DHS Cars Land would have just been this at the end of a half-mile long road lined with Cozy Cones trying to sell you churros and trinkets.

A happy go lucky car enjoying the canyon and then suddenly bursting into flames gives me total Universal energy.

That Cars ride looks like one of those fake April Fools gags that theme park news outlets like to announce, like "Olaf's Great Escape". Just kinda sad really.

Man, I've been watching videos on this park recently and holy hell, what went wrong here? This looks to be by far the worst Disney park. This expansion is sorely needed.

Michael Eisner is what went wrong here.

And I'm probably the biggest Eisner advocate around here, but this park is so clearly emblematic of the defects in the latter half of his tenure running the company.

The site struggled from the get-go and the second gate was a contractual obligation. So they cheaped out. It started bad then got worse as operating costs were cut to the bone at both parks.

At least they learned their lesson about underfunded second parks in Hong Kong.

Jesus. Just yikes at this park. They even managed to make the Rock N Rollercoaster entrance look ugly! And why are there so many flat rides???

Because there were practically no rides when it opened and that’s the quick fix to give people things to do. But that’s how you end up with an Aladdin spinner next to a Cars flat next to Crush’s Coaster.

It’s not a bad little park now if it isn’t crowded (pending the Marvel corner coming online).

Also fun fact: a lot of the beeps and boops you hear throughout Test Track 2.0 are direct copies of noises from their RnRC.

Disneyland Paris Aerial Construction Update - October 11, 2020 - DLPReport

We got a plane! That’s how I started our Twitter coverage. It’s of course an over simplification but part of an effort to provide different angles in HD for what is set to be the biggest set of construction projects in the history of the Resort, over the next years. Let’s take a look at […]

Interestingly they have totally gutted and are rebuilding all the Avengers Campus restaurants (Bottom right in the below, opposite new Spider-Man ride building:


Still a lot of land clearing going on:

Things are progressing nicely in Paris

I still think the Iron Man Coaster is so lazy. Even lazier than GotG replacing ToT. At least with GotG, the ride profile can be reprogramed because ToT was awesome like that. A coaster is a coaster. You can theme it to Iron Man, but it's still the exact same thing that RNRC was so unless they put some really cool set pieces around the track, it's gonna feel really cheap imo.

To a certain extent I agree The difference here is that it was already a lazy and cheap ride, just like everything else that opened at WDS on opening day.
I have hope that this will turn out good, just like Guardians did in DCA. The new facade alone is a million % better than the cardbard cut out sign for RNRC.

Hopefully these additions do what they need to for the park, but I'm not exactly excited by a retheme and three clones. I don't understand how Disneyland Paris gets so much attendance while basically coasting on the same attractions from the 90s.

Wow. Welcome to the Chapek era.

 

[MrBlonde]

Disneyland Paris being the cheap with its designs and style is literally its tradition at this point.

While I think that Guardians is superior to al Tower of Terror, you kind of have to laugh at all the Disney fans wanting the Marvel rights for WDW when Disney have done so little with the brand when they can.

1. People who don't have money to go to Florida and want to go to Disney.
2. Disneyland Paris is much cheaper to visit than any other Disney theme park. Most of the years there are also a lot of discounts.
3. Tagged upon a short city vacation (as I did) to wonderful Paris (I think the Disney part was a waist of a good day I missed in Paris).
4. Compared to other European theme parks, most close in the winter.

Yeah. Is the Avengers E-ticket supposed to be built here too, or no? Hell, at this point, I just hope they don't cut that ride from the DCA version actually. That seems like the best thing i've seen (from a concept perspective) from Disney regarding Marvel, but there's just absolute silence on it currently.
