Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

[yeti]

Oooh would you be able to explain why you think it's more coherent by any chance? This isn't me challenging you haha I love hearing what people think of the old tower vs the new one

Of course - granted I may be in the minority on this opinion, but I prefer how the new ride doesn't have Rod Serling narrating throughout and none of the iconography from the main titles (like the door, the eyeball, the window smashing). I think it makes it feel more like a Twilight Zone episode and less like a general tribute to The Twilight Zone.

And I have no problem with a log flume, in fact i love water rides. I just am kinda iffy about building 2 of them in a row, beside each other for the new expansion around adventure bay and not mixing it up with a much different style attraction for the 2nd ride on the new expansion.

To me, if you are going the two water rides route, then why not go all in? Add a third. 20k revamped, Shanghai Crystal Grotto, TDS Rapunzel, anything. Just go full water themed, with the lake and the rides, make a little Paris DisneySea.

I would kill for a Paris update to Orlando.

We have the best Tower. It just needs a modernization.

I don't want them to change the storyline at all. Upgrade the tech, sure, they can do that. But if they substantially changed the experience at all, I would be very upset.

Went on Frozen Ever After the other night. It feels like the Epcot ride but blown up to 1.5x scale. Not sure if the videos capture that or not.

Also the waterfall is a Laughin Place style double dipper which is pretty cool.

You can kinda get that from videos, but it's hard to tell because it's in the dark

But good to know! The difference in the drop is something other people have talked about, but I haven't been on it yet

Alice will not be performing this year, but will return in 2027

I wonder if the construction for LK was thought too disruptive this year? Maybe with trucks and diggers moving around , the noise would carry to the arena.

Could be, or the entertainment budget was allocated for other things like the new 4 float Princess parade

More details on Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings:

Great news for Pixar fans: the planned family attraction inspired by the film Up, entitled Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings, is set to open at Disney Adventure World in 2027! It will thus mark a new milestone in the transformation of the park and will complement the themed gardens of Adventure Way. We take a closer look at an attraction that promises to be as charming as it is nostalgic.

Located in Adventure Way, just opposite Raiponce Tangled Spin, construction of the future Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings attraction is well under way. The name references the Wilderness Explorers, the club of young adventurers thatRussell belongs to. In the attraction’s story, guests are invited to join this adventure and earn the ‘Aviation’ badge, immersing themselves in the world of the animated film Up and its unforgettable soundtrack, all while enjoying breathtaking viewsof the surrounding area.

This family-friendly experience will offer a new take on the ’flying chair carousel’, an iconic attraction in traditional theme parks for over a century. At Disneyland Paris, the carousel will offer 64 places on 48 chairs, with several ’duo’ chairsinviting guests to ride in pairs. As it spins, the dome above tilts, intensifying the feeling of flight and bringing dynamic movement to Adventure Way.

The attraction’s architecture, and in particular its line, will blend Art Nouveau and industrialtouches, such as wrought iron arches evoking characters from the film, as well as balloon and cloud motifs. In this way, Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings will fit seamlessly into the world of Adventure Way. In fact, at the top of the attraction, visitors will spy a golden spike representing Carl and Ellie’s famous house, echoing Pascal’s silhouette perched on the roof of Raiponce Tangled Spin!

The Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings will celebrate the adventurous spirit of Russell, Carl, Ellie, and other friends from Up. The queue, organised into four zones representing key moments from the film, will feature decorative banners and iconic props, including Carl’s childhood aviator helmet and goggles, as well as Ellie’s adventure book. 

The new attraction inspired by Up will be named Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings!

Has the Tangled carousel opened yet? With all the focus on Frozen I don’t know if I’ve missed the news or if it’s opening later.

Yes, it opened with Frozen and the extension.

More likely.

So any idea why installing a swing ride is taking so long?

It's similar timeline as the carousel in Tropical Americas. Both set to open in 2027 and construction began Fall 2025
