Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

[UNIrd]

Kong had problems so they put Fast and Furious on hold to make sure the problems were ironed out. That was more preventative so I give them a pass on that.

Eh, still took them long enough to build a plug-and-play Studio Tour clone.

Yes, but it is the best Fast and Furious attraction in all of Orlando.

Test Track?

Test Track?

Test track is (thankfully) not a Fast and the Furious attraction.

A few on-the-ground shots...

Are you sure? It seemed more like a Fast and Furious attraction to me over the dumpsterfire that recently soft-opened over in Uni Studios...

My original comment was a joke. Fast and Furious is the best Fast and Furious in Orlando because it's the only Fast and Furious in Orlando.

Haha I got it. If only it was better...

The ride or my joke?

Back on track, this attraction is something I'm looking forward to. Normally when I go to Epcot I simply walk past France. The movie is awful and ridiculously old.

Supposedly the movie is getting some sort of update. I would love a totally new one but I don’t trust Disney not to CGI it like they did to Soarin’. Impressions de France is actually pretty good, just old.

Ah but its the best kind of travelogue.... nice scenery, beautiful music, and a narrator that knows when to shut up

Yep,love the film on France. It's as close to perfection as a theme park film can dare to hope for. :thumbsup:

I held a Walt Disney World annual pass for many many years and only went to it twice ever. I would like to see anything else replace it.

One of the things I like most about Impressions is that it's old, a leftover from a different (better) time in Epcot's history. If it's eventually getting refreshed, I hope Disney doesn't botch it.

Re: that view of the showbuilding from across the lagoon... are we assuming the building is going to be themed on the side facing the lagoon, or will more foliage be added to cover it up? It seems quite a bit of the foliage buffer has been removed to facilitate the construction, and I would hope they'll add back as much of the lost density as they can.

We're getting an entire new ride tat is an expansion of the pavilion... not all things need to die because they're old. IDF if a beautifully shot piece of art and is a remnant of EPCOT Center. Maybe a new voice over if they want to change something, but for the most part, the film still aligns with what you see in modern day Paris.

Yea I think more trees will be placed there. They’ll probably paint that side to look not boring/ugly as well in case it’s visible. But I expect trees. It’s hardly noticeable when you’re on that side of the lagoon. Only really clearly visible from across the lagoon looking toward it. It’s farther back away from the path that it appears in photos.

Impressions is a better Soarin’ attraction than Soarin’ is. I’d love a shot for shot remake.

So you simply walk past the best bread, pastries & ice cream in Epcot? Also...love the movie & especially the music. France is by far one of the best pavilions.

If they theme that side of the building, it will likely be done in how they are putting the picket fence onto the TSMM soundstages. Theme the top where it’s noticeable, hide the rest with trees and maybe paint it green.
