I'm happy to be helpfull. I could be more precise, but my english isn't enough good for me to go technical
@Tloz, thank you VERY MUCH, this is the best overview of what's going on at Disneyland Paris I have found anywhere!
First of all, we are sure that this park will be developed until 2018.
Front Lot
An Imagineer (unknown) mentioned a complete rethematization of Front Lot to get a result close to DCA, beacuse this park needs a whole new placemaking.
Backlot
So much rumors about this lot! The strongest one is a rethematization in Marvel (Rock'n'Roller AErosmith would become AC/DC with Iron Man, ...). An Avatar ride may eventually come, but it seems very compromised.
More on that later...
Toon Studio
Well, it's no scoop, but the Ratatouille ride is under construction. There will also be a restaurant (no info on the menu yet) in a little zone called "Rue de Paris". It will look like a typical Parisian street:
The ride shall include new 3D technology, and we're supposed to bet rat-sized... Opening 2014
Toy Story Playland
Toy Story Midway Mania may come. One of the most uncertain rumors...
Misc.
Recently on the radio, Philippe Gas talked about a hypothetical third theme park... Well, with a bit of logic, we would assume that might be related to Marvel, due to the fact that Disney bought the rights... But, it would mean that Backlot won't be themed on Marvel, so let's wait and see, since there has been no more information on the third park.
Also, and this is confirmed, the "Village Nature" are going to be built. This is not a park, but more a holiday destination. Located nearby the Davy Crockett Ranch, this is going to be like the "Center Parcs", a village in the forest, with several zones: a water zone, a sports zone... Opening 2016
Finally, a water park is also under construction, and it may be one of the biggest in Europe
Village Nature
Well, I don't know if all of these were relevant to your interests, but that's the information I have for the futur constructions.
The Star Wars cantina is still a rumour, but yet we have so many clues (some are provided by Tony Baxter) that allow us to hope for it. Star Tours 2 has to come to France, as it is in the contract made with Georges Lucas. Also, Captain Eo has closed, so maybe we'll have something Star Wars related in it...
And here are some picture of the upcoming Ratatouille:
The previous pictures come from Marne-la-valée's town hall, where you can consult the official building licence.
And this one is from DLRP Welcome:
Disneyland Paris will see a Ratatouille dark ride, Star Tours 2 and probably even a Star Wars Mos Eisley cantina coming to life in the next couple of years.
