There are some really interesting things in this list.

The little Mermaid ride is rumoured ever since the opening of the park. The Winnie the Pooh ride rumour is new to me. The integration of elements from the Pirates trilogy is a rather small but not unthinkable one. If it will come, I guess it wil be in the very near future.

A new Disney branded Hotel would be very welcome, as if I'm correct, the already exising Hotels have very high occupancy rates.

Last but not least: a transportation system! I would really love to see a Monorail coming to our Resort.

Mickey's Philharmagic is something i really would love to see. I loved it in WDW.

That in stead of a third theme park they'll add the Grand Prix thing? Sounds horrible!

[SophieD]

i would love to see Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean [-o<

in WDW they incorporated their POTC ride to include many film characters...

A Little Mermaid ride would be cool as well...

The article says that if the French government will pay for the construction of the new F1, it may be build on the third park ground.  The article also mentions that it would be there for ten years and that the agreement with the French State will be renegotiated because Euro Disney SCA has no money to build the third gate.

The discussion about the F1 track is actually happening here.

I'd hate to see the Jack Sparrow animatronic! POTC is great the way it is!

The Little Mermaid seems to be quite likely - it looks like this might be Disney's next franchise attraction with rumours of its construction in WDW ... and maybe even Hong Kong. (Operation wise, it would also *finally* add another high capacity ride to Fantasyland...)

Star Tours 2 is coming. The big question will be however: when? After the last attraction re-do (Space Mountain) wasn't met with the biggest success, I'd understand if Star Tours is not high on Euro Disney's priority list: it's still a crowd pleaser.
But: I'd guess Euro Disney doesn't have much of a choice to update or not once Disney starts with Star Tour's makeover in California and Florida...

For the Studios: I suppose we will see if the rumours about a couple of smaller rides behind Art of.. are true once the new fiscal year starts in September. If they want to have them up and running next year, work on this smaller project should start very soon...

Then of course there's the addition of several thousand new beds on property, starting with the Villages Natures. (Which is quite an interesting project... which in the end, will also need  a means of public transport between this new resort and the parks - they want to be eco-friendly, after all...)
Another Disney hotel might be quite probable as well. My guess is that it'll be a bit more adult in theme (like HNY and NBC) to give Business Solutions a bit more of available rooms...
And with these new rooms we should also see an expansion of the Disney Village. (What about that Earl of Sandwich we talked about a few months ago? And I wouldn't be too surprised to see a DLRP version of that T-Rex restaurant which will open at WDW in November... considering how popular the Rainforest Café is...)

Okay, these are the projects I'm betting my money on.  :wink:
