A little update of the global upcoming (90% rumors, gossips, indiscretions)


Disneyland Park
Well, a big astonishing new had arrive (and this one is official): The Shareholder club has remade it's Terms of use, and if you want to be a part of it, you'll have to possess 100 share (20 before). A internal note that has leaked talks about a special Shareholder pass (with the Francilien, the Fantasyn, and the Dream)
This is after the payment of the debt (1.3 billions giveaway from TWDC), and the rumor of take-over bid (which is still possible, even if nothing has been confirmed)

Discoveryland
- Captain Eo will re open in october or november

- Star Tours 2 is not planned for DLP, as Georges Lucas said in a question/answer session during Star Wars Celebration IV (or VI, I can't remember)

Frontierland
- Halloween season begins Monday, beadwork are already in place and they are quite awesome. Phantom Manor Refurbishement ends today, so tommorow it will reopen to public (no upgrade)


Walt Disney Studios

Toon Studio
Ratatouille ride is still under construction. The most optimistic guys think it may open for early 2013. The more pessimistic says in summer 2014. Moreover, the building may include some offices (maintenance apparently). And for those who knows theese rides (I don't, so share your experience please), Ratatouille will be a mix between The Simpson Ride and Spiderman (I think they're in Universal)

Toy Story Playland
More and More people talks about Toy Story Midway Mania

Once again, all I know, I've got it from DisneyCentralPlaza

The building seems to have reached its maximum height. We still don't know what are those two arches, but it might be the end of the waiting line and the beginning of the ride itself. It's now almost certain that the brown part on the floor are in the restaurant part of the building.
And don't forget to enlarge the picture and look at the size of the guy in the middle to realise how large is the construction

In the internal Disney discussions, a buyout would be followed by increased investment in the resort aimed at paying down the debt more quickly and increasing the number of attractions. There are currently two parks at the resort, the original Disneyland park and Walt Disney Studios, which opened in 2002. Under a recently renewed master agreement with the French state, which provided the land to Disney and built roads and rail links, Disney could build a third park on the site between now and 2030.

If it's true it's going to be so amazing. French procedures makes it so slow and hard to got budget. If TWDC owns it, there will be no problems for funding

If the rumours are true then I can't wait to see what's going to happen!

There's a growing rumour on line that says the WDC would buy all the parts of EuroDisney SCA, and get full responsability. This could mean huge changes in a near future. But it's just a rumour (for now...)

I mean the flow should be the same (not sure to be clear)
Let's give an example: around 2000 guest per hour can board Space Mountain. It will be the same for Ratatouille.

and is supposed to have debit equivalent as Space Mountain

What do you mean with that?

Personal Hypothesis: the grey and orange bars may be capacity captors, and the final floor may be as high as these bars.


The grey stuff on the right might be the control rooms

The ride will have a single ride line, a Fastpass line, and is supposed to have debit equivalent as Space Mountain
