No reason they can't come up with a new Star Wars ride for Paris though.
If Galaxy’s Edge was built in Paris, Smugglers Run would be difficult since there are many languages spoken and you can’t expect everyone to understand English. So if ROTR won’t be built in Paris, Galaxy’s Edge will neither.
Thanks for translating. I do think talk of Galaxy’s Edge as a flop are a bit premature. I think most were waiting for Rise of the Resistance to be completed before visiting and then COVID hit. Once theme parks are operating normally again I expect attendance to be up in the parks with Galaxy’s Edge.
Rise though clearly has massive problems and I don't expect to see it built anywhere else.
They basically said that since Galaxy’s Edge did not increase the number of guests as they expected in the US parks, and because of the high maintenance cost of the RotR ride, a trusted source told them that they are canceling this project.
Disney have been thinking for a while now about a Lion King land with a ride similar to splash mountain, since the Lion King festival in DLP is so popular, and they are obliged to build something in this location (because of contracts with the French government)
Why is there an Eiffel Tower scene made out of junk? It might just be me but it looks very tacky!
I'm sure it was Rise of the Resistance - plans/permits had a showbuilding the same size/shape, artists' impressions show an X Wing in place of the Millennium Falcon, and I'm sure I heard a few times that the only ride they'd be getting will be ROTR. I hope so, anyway, ROTR looks incredible.
Cars Road Trip construction progress.

I’ve watched these two French YouTube videos. They mentioned that they know some DLP insiders who told them about these plans.
And it makes sense since a whole Lion King land can be built with the budget of the ROTR attraction alone. Plus the Lion King festival is very popular at DLP.
