Finally we get some new (or newer) photos of the WDS. They're taken in 2007 but still shows TOT, Crush Cars.... nice.

That's great news! Hopefully that means Google Maps will get the new material too.

google earth and google maps are the same thing using the same data

They have updated almost all of paris region, i could find DLRP straight away

As for those images they were from oct 21st 2007 so they are fairly old

You can also see the Character Express and the Halloween Pre-Parade in Disneyland Parc about to line up by IASW.

Obviously they are updated separately as Google Maps is still using the old material:

See? No Tower Of Terror or Crsuh Coster - yet.

How can you be so sure about that exact date?? Do you also know the date of the imagery currently still used on Google Maps?

[Nicholas-c]

with latest version of google earth in the bar at bottom there is a date of when the "photo" was taken

Yeah I found them too, I was pretty impressed with myself when I found them and figured out which one was which :roll:  :lol:

Wow, and the black and grey Toon Studio checkerboard looks even more ugly from the air!! :shock:

And isn't Crush huge?! It's almost the same size as the whole Disney Channel building.

Overall, it looks much more like a theme park this time round.

Thanks for the pics ! I hope they will add them to google maps soon, too!

By the way, a bit offtopic maybe: Where shall this Toy Story Mini-Land be situated - just onto that little greenery behind AODA? And what about the huge forest behind the Tram Tour, is that also belonging to the Studios Area?

Toy Story land will go on the grass and continue on the current Tram Tour path.  The forest will stay and will never be removed.  The future WDS expansion will go next and behind it.

Oh okay, thank you very much for the info ! I guess now I can imagine better how it could look like !

The forest will stay and will never be removed.  The future WDS expansion will go next and behind it.  

And why is that? That seems rather stupid. A future expansion would fit perfect there...

Cutting down a protected forest would be stupid.  :wink: Besides, the forest will be integrated in the future layout of the park.

Then why does the Studio Tram Tour route plough right through it? :lol:

[Kristof]

Because that small bit next to Imaginations is not protected of course.  A certain amount of hectare is not allowed to be cut, it's simply as that.
