Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

[Scott W.]

Impressive. That is soon for Disney standards.

I'm starting to get the impression that Disney's slow construction is getting exaggerated. Disney announces a ride before construction starts. Universal announces a ride a year after construction starts.

Universal announces a ride a year after construction starts.

And that too is an exaggeration... Universal may not announce the final name or details of an attraction but they always announce the basic intent.

As far as I know, it's currently scheduled to open Spring 2020.

So.... summer 2020. Got it.

Eh... this is a simple ride. It's basically screens in a box, much like Transformers. It's still 2 years+ until the end of Spring 2020. They'd have to really mess up to miss this date.

...Or just be really cheap (as they like to be) and spread costs enough to where the opening misses it's target date like TSL did.

Yes. Transformers, as a clone, was just apx. a year deconstruct/build. As you said, basically the same concept. But, then again, this is Disney after all.

Unless they want to get this open sooner and give Epcot a draw during the SW:GE craze but.. pretty sure that's not what they're thinking.

The ride building has gone vertical:

Disney cooking with gas now.

At this pace, a full two years feels like an excessive amount of time to get this finished. I believe (though I could be wrong) its Paris counterpart was open in well under two years, and that one has a restaurant attached.

But I guess I should never underestimate WDW's ability to slow construction to a crawl at a moment's notice!

 

[captainmoch]

I'm no construction expert but I feel that this should be open Summer 2019. It's a mainly screen-based ride and a clone... but knowing Disney they'll hold it off until 2020.

Disney invites this reputation by announcing early. I believe they do this because they are just so bad at keeping a secret. Taking forever on projects like Rivers of Light does reinforce the stereotype.

Universal does work quickly, but every once in a while they take forever like on rebuilding Coca-Cola Roboasis.

Don’t forget they gotta build and theme a new side street. When it gets down to theming that’s where Disney really takes their time.

Everything I was going to say.

I was there earlier and it looked like they have some temporary structures on the France facades. Guessing sightlines are being played with. There’s a few two by fours aligned with smokestacks. Wonder if some of the buildings will be getting taller on the right side in the future.

Spring 2020 from what I’ve heard.

New street or not, the scope of Epcot's version does not appear significantly more elaborate than Paris'.

...and a recently soft opened ride.

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.
