Thanks to Disneyland Paris Works on Twitter, we have a closer look at the “Project Lake Promenade” blueprints. This project is part of an expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris that will create a new promenade through the center of the park.

New themed toilets will be added to the area. A “Tangled”-themed round ride will be at the end of the promenade. To one side of the promenade will be the updated Toy Story Playland entrance, across from the new English Gardens area. A floor rosette will be at the opposite end from the “Tangled” attraction, along with a food truck.

There is absolutely something wrong with the site, all links to tickets have been removed and anything from the direct link (like facebook tickets) goes to the 404 error page.

BUT they have been open the past few days and are posting on social media even today so I've dropped them a message to see what the deal is. It could just be the ticketing site provider has gone down.

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is open for previews.

New ride area is open at Drayton Manor, UK
