I think they will need to add 2 new lands to Walt Disney Studios. I think some new rides in Disneyland its self. Like splash mountain and the Tokyo version of Pooh.
How about Cars Land!!!!So basically they can either get an an Avatar Land or a My Magic + upgrade to the resort? It will most likely be a Star Wars expansion, which they were planning to do anyway.
This news really excited me. DLRP is great, but some parts need dragging out of the 90's.
Studios needs help. Its a car park with a couple of good rides. No decent food, needs a nice place to chill with a drink. Its the worst of all the Disney parks. on the upside, Crush coaster is great, and the Ratatouille area is just gorgeous. And can they do something with Studio 1? It feels like you walk in the park through a tacky mall food court.
It would be lovely to have a new ride in Disneyland Park , but it is at least a great all round experience & I am really hoping the new cars for Space mean I can ride without getting concussed...
I'm hoping for new ideas, not clones from other Parks.
Oh, @anthony2k7 The rehab of Hotel New York has already been announced, with the rehab of Disneyland Hotel to follow. Fingers crossed we will soon get the rest of the items on your list too.
Cars land would be a great addition!How about Cars Land!!!!
ohhh! I'd completely (somehow) forgotten to mention in my list the lack of TS restaurants in WDS. Hate that. How can you plan a full park day without any TS options at all? It doesnt have to be unique.... just clone something from DCA or DHS would be fine, just give us a good TS restaurant already, we've only had to wait 15 years already.
As for the hotel refurbs - yes, but the HNY one was supposed to start two years ago now I believe - I seem to remember it was supposed to be straight after NPB.
Merged you with the other thread we already have started on this...http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-euro-disney-20170210-story.html
Looks like all the money is going everywhere except WDW!!!!
Unless they know something what's going on in France they have to be nuts!
LET'S RAISE THOSE PRICES
Well one could argue that its not a successful park so pouring more money would not be good. My thinking here is you need to spend money to make money. The parks were neglected for so long that they needed any help they could get.Why wouldn't Disney want to own as much of it's Park as possible is my thinking.

If you look at Europe by itself Disneyland Paris (just the MK park) takes the cake as most visited theme park overall. However when you put it in the world rankings it doesn't look as good and Walt Disney Studios park just looks awful in comparison. Europe just never had that big theme park bug like the US, or Tokyo.If a resort is still a money pit after 25 years, dontcha think that maybe there are more issues going on there besides not having enough refurbs in their hotels, and a cannon being broken on Space Mountain?

The location was all Eisner. They had a spot in Spain lined up and the Spanish government was better to cooperate with but Eisner didn't listen and wanted Paris due to that transportation/tourist aspect.I agree, there's a cultural difference at work. Most people in the EU it seems want holiday entertainment that is either (a) high-browed like cathedrals, museums and eco-tourism, or (b) beaches. Whereas Asians are more like North Americans in their enjoyment of fantasy/thrills.
I also question the choice of location/climate for DLP. I understand being close to the population centers and a really great transportation system (unlike say southern Spain or Italy) but Paris is actually farther north than Seattle. The winters are long and dark and at all times the sun is relatively low in the sky and not very warm-feeling.
This move feels a lot like the old cliché, "throwing good money after bad", but I suspect that Disney isn't throwing good money at all, just a lot of newly-printed Euros ...
I suspect it will involve raising prices.I wonder what Disney's future plans are for this eventual overtaking.
I wonder what the problem is. Its basically the same ride mechanism that Disney has a lot of experience with at Rock n' Rollercoaster.I know - but the cannon work is done as far as I'm aware and they failed to fix it after many months downtime. The one signature iconic effect of the paris park that no other park has and they couldnt get it working. Big disappointment.
