Ouch! That is painful to read… Sooo, if I summarize, you’re basically saying the World of Frozen is/will be a failure and that Disney is missing potential revenue, am I right? Are you saying that based on your OPINION or on the FACT that Disneyland Paris has been sold out for the past two...

Thank you for this very elaborate answer 😉 Nonetheless, I’ll give you that calling it massive might be a matter of opinion so let’s face the facts: It will be the largest show building at Disneyland Paris by far and one of the largest across any Disney parks around the globe. It will have the...

Hope I’ll close this “debate” (my two cents: calling FEA at HKDL or DAW a C-ticket is non-sense…) Here are two tweets showing that the Lion King flume is actually massive and way longer than Splash Mountain and many other rides!

Just found what seems to be early concept arts for the lake show by Anthony Archer! He also worked on Paint the Night and the early concept for Disney Dreams for which Disney already had projections on Main Street in mind: You should have a look at his portfolio, there are some nice...

Disneyland Paris kept most of the floats from the Fantillusion for years after it ended and they were also shown in documentaries. So I wouldn’t take the fact that Pain the night floats are still there as a guarantee it’ll return. Same for the projections on “When can I see you again”. Other...

I saw that too 🙂 My point is just that the “returning offering in 2025” was most probably the daytime parade. Paint the Night might return at some point but they’ll bring it back only if and when they need to boost attendance what I doubt will happen this year with seasonal entertainment just...

“I have such amazing memories of nighttime parades at our parks all around the world, and I am so excited for that experience to return to Walt Disney World.” Jeff Vahle, President of Walt Disney World about the brand new Disney Starlight Parade today. I’m sure brand new parades can be...

I think he meant a parade in general and they did with the Friendtastic. I wouldn’t have high hopes on getting the Paint the Night coming back anytime soon but that’s just a feeling.

It actually was rumoured that the retrack would be split with the first part being done during this year refurb. So it now seems that these rumours were true.

The latest rumours suggest that the ride will close 2 to 3 years in a row for about 6 months each time to do a phased retracking. The idea behind this phased approach is to avoid having 2 coasters closed at the same time (yes, Space Mountain is also going to close at some point)

If the rumours are true (they were for the ride itself so…), the ride has been in the work since late 2019 following the success of the live action movie and the success of the Lion King and Jungle Festival specifically for Paris.

As seen in the previous post and in the pics from a OLC facility in the tweet below, Tokyo Disneyland’s new Space Mountain is an Intamin coaster!

They did re-record the Blue Fairy in French! She says the exact same lines but in a different way. It also seems it’s the same person who did the Blue Fairy in 2005!

At this point, it seems pretty clear that the third land of the expansion won’t be themed to Star Wars and the latest news from insiders hint at Avatar instead. With these figures, I believe we’ll be able to walk on Pandora in Paris in a couple of years!

It was true! All the original floats from the parade have been replaced!
