Why thank you! 

I was intentionally a bit sketchy with attraction specifics as its such a new film, but you can see from the trailer that there's certainly something they could do with Splash and Moana.

There's plenty of land where Indy was supposed to go, so they could build a reasonable mini-land. And they could import the 'Moana’s Village Festival 'stage show that HKDL is getting. The Chaparral Theatre is a bit out of the way, but they've had Tarzan in there, so no huge issue.
Take note, EuroDisney. simples.

Spalsh Mountain was mentioned a few posts above, and Adventureland being an idea setting. Now here's the idea. What if they added Splash, but themed to Moana?

I'm liking the idea of re-theming Splash Mountain so it fits in Adventure Land but how about this. "The Jungle Book", remember the scene where Mowgli actually rides down the river on Baloo's stomach? Doesn't that lend itself perfectly? Added bonus Baloo already meets and greets in Adventure Land, the current planting/theming supports "Jungle Book", the sound track already exists and we have the classic cartoon and the new live action for material. Change to a management hat, how much merchandise could they sell to support this?

Just a thought.

[Rocketeer]

^Interesting idea. I'd prefer the original version of the Jungle Book (rather than the CG fest recently).

I do agree though, how much merch could they actually shift? Same applies to Moana.. perhaps though the latter would sell more just due to the nature of it being recent.

I agree on the merchandise possibilities of Moana, for some reason princess's always seem to generate more.

Indeed. It's easily top 5 in sales for them. (Not sure where if you factor in Star Wars and Marvel now).

Regardless though, I think a "Splash Mountain" mini-land would be great for Adventureland. OK, so it'll take up the area earmarked for Indy Jones Adventure, but they could easily add an EMV attraction to WDS. Which to me is a win-win situation.

Given that Splash doesn't have a huge show building that's hidden by a façade (like Pirates or the Manor), it could probably fit in the spot next to Temple du Peril. Only downside is that the Railroad would have to either close for a bit, or operate a shuttle service (as they did in HKDL when they added their mini-lands).

I know I'm late jumping in on the conversation but please please please no Mini-lands! I don't know why I'm so against them If the main park had reached its maximum potential ok maybe, but it has so much room for improvement.

I think it's such a shame that Frontierland & Adventureland only have 2 main attractions each. I would LOVE to be able to spend more time in Frontierland. As for Adventureland even with it's lack of main attractions you can kill time there with the exploration areas, but still...

I 1000% agree with Splash Mountain idea. If it's strategically placed between Frontierland and Adventureland (there's a big empty space between Indiana & what was Woody's Roundup) I think it would tremendously benefit both lands. I feel they need something else on that side of the park to pull crowds away from the rest of the lands and alleviate the wait time for BTM.

I also intensely agree with the Beauty and the Beast ride, not incorporating a classic like that into Disneyland Paris (of all places!!!) was a big miss.

Oops didn't notice this before. Yes! This is the area I mean. Also technically it's directly accesible from Frontierland from where Woody's roundup used to be. Even if it's not Splash Mountain they have to put that area to use somehow!

[Rocketeer]

^Agreed. There's a whole chunk of land that is long overdue for an attraction.

As for Splash - another idea sprung to mind today, Zootopia (Zootropolis). There's a lot they could do - Bunnyburrow for one - however that wouldn't fit in Adventureland.

[YenSidBot]

Zootroplis might not fit in Adventureland but it would be a nice addition to the Studios , however Beauty and The Beast would fit nicely in Fantasyland especially with the revival of interest with the new movie approaching . Surprises me how little presence French Disney movies have in the parks . I would love to see an Aristocats themed restaurant and maybe even some subtle Hunchback of Notre Dame Easter eggs in Fantasyland or around the hub

[Pete's Dragon]

the whole west side of the park could do with something, whether its Splash Mtn or even a few critters to pet 

[Samanthad]

Beauty and the Beast all the way and I second the idea above about a tavern and restaurant!

I would also like to see a bit more going on in Adventureland and Frontierland in the way of actual rides that are suitable for all ages - perhaps a Lion King ride or Jungle Book and it would be nice to also see a Brave themed ride.

[TVPaulD]

I just saw Rocketeer's idea for a Moana land with Moana-themed Splash Mountain and I would love that.

[Rocketeer]

Thanks! 

Even if its a smaller version of the other three Spalsh, it'd still be a good addition to the park. Heck, they could even put the main drop indoors. The Maelstrom did it for nearly 30 years.

[PMF]

Using the 25-year-old available space would certainly be a nice start, though I don't imagine that the attractions would feature anything other than "safe" IPs (as seen in the HK expansion).

And pretty much every single attraction made during the last decade

[Rocketeer]

Yes, unfortunately the days of non-IP attractions are long gone.

I maybe wrong, but I think the last new attraction that's non-IP and/or a film tie-in is HKDL's Mystic Manor, which opened in '13.

Speaking specifically for Paris, the last one to fit that bill would be many of the originals in WDS.... in '02.
