Maybe they're making room of Toy Story Mania?

I've lost track of where we are with this. I've heard that its definitely happening, that is definitely not happening and that work has already started!

^That does sound about right for ED SCA though. I can't fathom why they take so long to confirm any new addition.

Do you think if people know a new ride is coming, they put off visiting until it is built?

For example, if they said TSM would open July 2018 (no evidence of this!), people who were planning on visiting July 2017 would put off their trip for a year?

Otherwise, do you think they keep thisng secret because of competition with other parks in Europe?

^True, but then is also serves as an intensive to keep returning to the resort. However I think you're right, more people would delay their holiday rather than (for those that can) return in the ensuing years.

Surely they'd be more likely to get it opened for July 2017?

I think you overestimate the average visitor. Most people esspecially first time visitors aren´t informed that well that in 12 months something else might be built e.g..

Next is the 25th anniversy so I think regularly visitors don´t want to miss this eventhough a new attraction might open 12 months later.

Regarding Toy Story Mania, I don´t get the hype at all. I went in once in Tokyo, yes it was fun but not worth the 6 hours waiting time. Eventhough it is still the most populare attraction their for years now.

"I think both Marvel and Star Wars should be treated differently because they are not Disney characters but rather franchises that Disney bought. Same as if they tried to introduce Muppets."

Hmm how does that argument stack up against them acquiring the rights to use Peter Pan, or Winnie the Pooh, or Mary Poppins, or Armageddon...the list goes on...

Peter Pan, Winnie The Pooh and Mary Poppins are Walt Disney Classics. Armaggedon is purely Disney, whilst Star Wars was initially Lucasfilm, Marvel originally just Marvel Studios and The Muppets Jim Henson's company.

Disneyland will always be Disneyland, so it's not that there's getting rid of Mickey and co. So why can't there be a place next to classics for the new franchises like Star Wars and The Muppets in Studios Park? It makes perfectly sense to me and I like them all.

What about the people who don't like Star Wars and Muppets paying for  something they're not interested in?

But not matter what the theme is, the park is still about fun, no? There's a lot of important Disney movies I have never seen like Frozen, Ratatouille or Finding Nemo. But I still can enjoy the rides and theming in Disneyland dedicated to those movies and their characters. It's not unenjoyable because you're not the biggest fan.

Who goes on a Star Wars or Muppets ride when they don't like them?

I do. I've never seen Finding Nemo, so no fan at all, but I do love Crush's Coaster. It's even one of my favourite rides.

Meeeeee - I would go on any new ride just to actually see what it's like. You never know you might suddenly have a huge interest in it. I was never into Star Wars until I rode Star Tours - now I love it and have watched all the films.

I've done every ride in DLRP some which I had no interest in - but it's something to tick off the Disney bucket list. Not many people can say they've done every ride.

I personally hate Moteurs but it wouldn't mean I would be against paying for the studios. Also can I just say... Rock n Rollercoaster has no Disney theme what so ever but it's my favourite ride. Do I like Aerosmith / had I even heard of them when I first rode it - nope.
♥ Disneyland Paris 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2015 ♥ Disney World Florida 2009 ♥ Disneyland California 2008 ♥

Next Visit: DLP March 2016.

I've never ridden Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain (both 'Disney Parks Classics') but I don't ask for a rebate when I get to the gate. I know that some attractions are just not for me.

I don't begrudge these attractions being there just because I don't like coasters. I appreciate that one of the founding principles of Disneyland, Ca. was for all,  "the young and old". I have no interest in the current 'toons' on the Disney Channel, but I understand that some do, and that's why they have the merchandise and/or meet'n'greets. If they based an attraction on them, then so be it. It's just one less that I have to spend time queuing for.

Anyway.....

As to the earlier suggestion of it being for Midway Mania, I can see this being at least part of the expansion. Maybe having this attraction added will enable them to allow us guests finally past the internal berm that is the Tram Tour route. And once that has been sorted, then its far easier to expand the park more.

Here's hoping we see some more developments soon.
