It's a big news day!
The first confirmed details of the so-called
Experience Enhancement Plan have been revealed by Disneyland Paris today.
After years of rumours, ten attractions are confirmed to be receiving renovations, upgrades and even complete overhauls between now and the 25th Anniversary:
- Space Mountain: Mission 2
- Videopolis
- "it's a small world"
- Big Thunder Mountain
- La Cabane des Robinson
- Peter Pan's Flight
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Animagique
- Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic
- Star Tours
To save me repeating myself on the details, check out this article I put together which summarises all the plans for each attraction and contains the pages of the press release itself:
- Reinvent the magic: Disneyland Paris confirms enhancement plans for 10 classic attractions (http://www.dlptoday.com/2015/06/10/reinvent-the-magic-disneyland-paris-confirms-enhancement-plans-for-10-classic-attractions/)
Which enhanced attraction are you most looking forward to? Are there any missing you wish were included? Do the upgrades and enhancements announced go far enough? And are there any you might make a special visit to DLP to see one last time
before it changes?
I'm really looking forward to the BTM update! What I would love to see is updated effects at Phantom Manor.
As far as the rest of the rides are concerned, I'd rather they didn't add Jack Sparrow at POTC, it was the last one of all versions that had kept its original design and I really wish it stayed this way. I know a lot of people are really looking forward to this update, but they way I see it it was the ride that inspired the movies and not vice versa. Not that I'll be hating the ride from now on, but still...
Another thing that would make me go head over heels is the return of the De La Terre A La Lune theming and music at Space Mountain.
Finally, an interactive queue at Peter Pan's Flight would be more than welcome, but I'm not sure if there is enough space for the project to come into realisation.
this is absolutely wonderful news....a wide range of improvements all announced at once.
it's just so nice to hear real, confirmed news straight from DLP, amongst all the rumours and speculation.
i think this is the turnaround people have been waiting for and it's exciting to see.
my visit in Dec this year was planned to be my last for some time....but I will want to be first in line to try the new BTM so may be back sooner than planned.
absolutely thrilled to hear the studio tour is getting a revamp - it's currently tragic and the sooner Dinotopia etc. are replaced the better!
The only thing I'm a little disappointed with is the news that Jack Sparrow will be coming to DLP's Pirates attraction, he's not exactly needed, and while I understand his appeal, I much prefer the original setting. To be honest I found PoTC at WDW quite disappointing compared to the version at DLP. To me this may well end up being a downgrade, rather than an upgrade.
The others excite me. I'm curious what they're going to do, and what the impact on the rides will be. :)
Excellent news! DLRP is finally getting some of the TLC it needs - although there's still plenty more that needs to be done, but all in good time.
Not sure I like the idea of Cars going in the Canyon though..
Wow, it sounds like some of the attractions are finally getting the much needed attention that they need.
I'm also looking forward to the BTM update, though I'm also a little jealous for selfish reasons; the predicted closure on November 2nd would mean we arrive two days too late as we're not arriving till the 4th November. It would have been nice to have at least one ride (or more!) before it closed, especially since its been more then a decade since I lost rode it.
Honestly, I'm not fussed about Jack Sparrow being added to POTC. I understand why he is being added, and I'm sure many, many people will be thrilled that he will be there, but I wouldn't miss him if he wasn't. POTC is, and was, always one of my favourite rides. From the queueing area to the ride itself and beyond, I adored the attraction as a child and will continue to do so for many years to come - with or with Mr Sparrow.
Space Mountain was one of the first "big" coasters that I ever went on. My mum had to force me to go on it, but after I tried it, I loved it. Having not been to DLP for so long, I couldn't say if much had or hadn't changed, but I'm glad to hear it's being improved. Given that it is what we look for when we arrive at DLP by Eurostar (always one of the best bits of the holiday!), and the fact it takes up such a space in Discoveryland, I look forward to seeing it open again.
Videopolis was always a bit of a strange one for me. I remember always wanting to snap pictures of the giant airship before grabbing a large coke and watching some old Disney cartoons on the TV above the stage. I'm glad it's staying and not being changed too much.
Like BTM, IASW will also be closed during our holiday. As a child, I hated going on it. I'm not sure if it was the song, the colours or my mum's tendency to sing along which resulted in it getting stuck in your head for months. Regardless, I was actually looking forward to going on it now that I've grown up a bit. Sadly, I'm just going to have to book another trip to find out if I enjoy it yet ;)
La Cabane des Robinson is another one of those attractions that I never really cared for. Maybe that's not entirely true, but I never really appreciated it. I was all about the magic as a kid, as was my brother, and for us La Cabane des Robinson just didn't cut it. I'm sure that when we go back, I'll look upon it with a different view, and to hear that it is being renovated is nothing but good news!
Peter Pan's flight is another family favourite. I'm sure everyone will be glad that it is receiving some updates, no matter how minor.
Animagique is a fantastic attraction! My fiancée is really looking forward to experiencing this one. For me, this is the closest to the awesome T2 3-D: Battle Across Time attraction in Universal Studios that I can get to in Paris.
I was gutted when I heard that the Studio Tram Tours had closed in WDW. I've been there three times and every time it was one of the top things on my to-do list. I loved the depth that it seemed to go in, the attention to detail and that it was in English. While I appreciate that DLP's Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic is based in France, it would be nice to have a carriage or two give a dedicated tour in English. Maybe it's a small gripe but I think it would be greatly appreciated - I know I would!
And finally Star Tours... Perhaps my favourite queue for a ride ever! Being a Star Wars nerd since I was young, I loved Star Tours. I remember forcing mum and dad to spend a fortune in WDS after it opened as there were so many figures that I needed that I hadn't already got at home. The ride, although repetitive, was great fun. My brother used to suffer from motion sickness but he also loved this ride. Since Disney's acquisition of the Star Wars franchise, I'm hoping for great things to happen at this corner of Discoveryland.
All good news, but a shame that the Backlot rides aren't being touched as it stands. Moteurs could desperately do with a new show. However, the Studio Tram Tours news is great for the studio.
I'm always surprised at how long it takes for these works. Whilst the wise people on here will know to check for closures, I am sure plenty will be disappointed.
Finally, contrary to the opinion of a certain person, I'm delighted to see Jeremy Irons is staying! Absolute legend.
Am I the only one that loves the codename? "Project Sparkle" soooo Disney.
That and it'll be easy for us forum posters to type instead of Experience Enhancement Plan (EEP). That sound more like "eep what have they done?!"
;)

I second this, I love Jeremy Irons too. All in all great news! ;D ;D ;D
Who said cinemagique is closing?
Sorry to butt in but when is the last scheduled renovation due to finish? I'm guessing sometime 2017 but would love to know a month so I can save for it!

Who said cinemagique is closing?
There have been rumours (nothing concrete) floating about since at least 2009 that cinemagique is due to close to be replaced by another show. I've read about it on here more than a few times.
Those rumours have been around for ages, but for the first time DLP have given clear information about their plans.
The earlier post was mixing wild speculation as fact! There are no plans to close cinemagique as far as I know. There are more viable suggestions that it will (and has) frequent updates with new scenes.

I honestly was under the impression that it was closing, though no date had been given. Maybe I should change the way my previous post reads so as to avoid misinterpretation? I apologise :-[
I'm very exited about this news! I hope this is a start to dragging the park back to its former glory.
DLP is still one of the best imagineered Magic Kingdoms in the world. But poorly management throughout the years let her slip into decay a bit. Although recently they're doing quite well with all the refurbishments. So I'm feeling confident that with a bit of hard work they could pull it of! :)
However, I still wonder:
-Will Space Mountain really be restored to be more like La terre de la lune?
The only specific things mentioned are the lighting, safety, new coaches, and a revamp of the exterior decors. I hope they'll bring back mission 1 because it was so much more immersive and fitting with the rest of Discoveryland.
-New color palette for the facade of It's a Small World.
What do you guys think? Will it be more vibrantly colored, or more soothing pastel taints? Or maybe even White and gold like Anaheim's. :o
- Big Thunder Mountain
The eardrum shattering antirollback on the lifthills always bothered me. Now they are planning on special effects in there, I certainly hope they will do something about the noise. I've done enough Vekoma beasts to know they can be quite silent. (Both Python and Revolution, though older, purr like a kitten in comparison to BTM.)
- Cap'n Jack joins the Pirates of the Caribbean
For once I'm not sure how to feel about this. Just like StarTours I am proud we still have the "original" versions.
But on the other hand, time does move on. And so do peoples expectations. I can fully understand the disappointment from guests expecting jolly ol' Jack waving his cutlass in the face of Barbosa. As long as they don't change to much of the original ride (music & decors), the crew of the Black Pearl is very welcome.
So, what are your expectations or hopes for the refurbishments? And do you think putting the parks in a crazy buildmode for several years is a wise decision?

The Small World facade colours will be more vibrant. As for the eardrum shuttering sound, as you call it, of BTM I've always considered it as one of those charming elements of the attraction. But that's just my personal opinion. :D

-------------------------------------
I strongly disagree. Keep the noise. It adds very much to the atmosphere, since it's a mine train.
Does anyone think that Star Tours and Star Wars Land would sit better in the Studios park?
I know its not going to happen, but worth discussing?
I think a lot of the changes will appeal to Disney fans more that they will to Disney Park fans - Jack Sparrow, Disney Characters in Small World, Star Wars Land, Cars makeover for Catastrophe Canyon.

It's true that they don't fit with the overall steampunk theming of Discoveryland, but I guess we're all used to it. In an ideal world they would be relocated to WDS, but what kind of ride could take their place? Perhaps Journey to the Centre of the Earth just like at Tokyo Disney Sea?

Yeah, I couldn't agree more! But Disney is a company and they are mostly insterested in making money, so they prefer satisfying the general population instead of us romantic fools...

I was more thinking that Star Wars doesn't fit in with the whole Disney Park idea at all.

Ahh, you say the nicest things.
Well,
I'm very excited to see everything is being put in it's original state again and even improved!!
Can't wait for the new Star Tours...
I was on "The Last Tour to Endor" -event in the USA when Star Tours closed and it was awesome!!!
Hope Paris will also do an event like that... Would love it!!
Better start packing my stormtrooper (Yes, I am a real star wars-geek and part of the 501st legion :))) )
Very, veeeeery excited!

Indeed.
I had an idea this morning... but I got the hotels mixed up. I though it was the Santa Fe that was having the "major change", turns out it was the Cheyenne. ::) Anywho... I was adding 2+2 and getting Episode VII. I thought they could have gone for a Star Wars theme on the Santa Fe. Although who'd really want to stay at Mos Eisley?
The Star Wars Land would be a big bonus for the Studio. Actually, even if they just relocated Star Tours, that'd be a great addition to the park.
Given that the Studios attractions have a movie focus, having Star Wars in that park would make the most sense. However, I doubt they'll do that. Besides, they're already putting the Jedi Academy in Discoveryland, that would also need to move if you create a Star Wars section in the Studios. :)
And what would they do with that giant empty corner of Discoveryland? You'd need a major new attraction to fill all that empty space.
Santa Fé as a Mos Eisley or Star Wars themed resort is a neat idea though, you could do a lot with that.
Though as you said, there are more interesting locations in the Star Wars universe to visit. :)
^I agree, the possibility of Star Wars Land in the Studios is a very slim one, it is more likely that that back portion of Discoveryland will eventually get converted to a version of Star Wars Land. Especially if they do add one to Disneyland, CA.
That then leads me to believe that they will add more Marvel to the Studios, and maybe even a Marvel Land. But I'm thinking that's post the Resorts 25th Anniversary.
The Studios do turn 20 in '22 so perhaps there's a target for major changes to that park?
I am really happy to hear that Jack Sparrow is coming to POTC! ;D
I went on Star Tours The Adventure Continues in HS, WDW and thought it was brilliant!
Although, I don't want them to add Disney characters to It's A Small World.. ::)
The possibility of characters in IASW doesn't bother me so much, I'm just relieved they're keeping the colours and not changing it to the white and gold :) I may be biased but I think the exterior of the ride is so much better in Disneyland Paris!
OK a bit of wishful thinking time. Now the details of Shanghai Disneyland have been announced, would anyone like any of these attractions to appear at the resort?

I think WDW is already planning (or even starting) TRON ride construction (though we'll know more after D23). It wouldn't be too far fetched to see a TRON ride eventually coming to Disney Studios as well, there's plenty of room for it.
As for the Mickey Avenue, that's their replacement of Mainstreet USA, so that won't show up anywhere primarily because I assume it was designed like this to keep the Chinese government happy, rather than anything else.
A Soaring type attraction is also quite a likely thing to show up at DLP eventually, they're very popular, and I imagine you can make an awesome film for it flying over the European countryside. :D
I wonder if the Marvel Land, not detailed in the announcement, could also make its way in some form or another at the Studios?
Tron will make an amazing ride , ever since the first film I thought it visually would look great made into an attraction and an easy one to do , paint everything black and add some LED strip lighting , done ! a very simplified version anyway!
Tron would be perfect for Paris, maybe in the Studios as an equivalent to Space Mountain?
But I doubt this will happen at all, because it is propably a timed exclusive for Shanghai, Disney cancelled Tron 3, And I think the franchise is not that big here...
And I would like for Paris: Roaring Rapids, Indiana Jones Temple of the crystal skull/forbidden eye, Pooh`s Hunny Hunt, Arielle ride
What's the ariel ride like?
Quote from: polar vixen on July 19, 2015, 09:21:11 AM
What's the ariel ride like?
The one at WDW is quite similar to the other classic dark rides (like Peter Pan, Snow White), but with far more animatronics. :) It was rather lovely.
Not sure if I can say it here but I think an Ariel ride likelegolands Atlantis ride would be really cool, if you could get in some sort of clan shell and be taken underwater to see fishes and mermaid scenes
The Indiana Jones dark ride is great but I don´t think we will get it in Paris anytime soon, first of all the building is huge secondly we already have an Indiana Jones ride and I can´t think of any movie (series) except Star Wars which got more than one ride.
My wish list would be:
1. Journey to the Center of the Earth (which was planned for Paris in the beginning anyway)
2. Mickey's PhilharMagic (maybe a smaller version in the old Michael Jackson building if it won´t be occupied by Star Wars)
3. Mystic Manor from HK DL (totally different from the Haunted Manson but I fear the concept is too similar)
4. Splash Mountain (yes the climate but all the other big european parks have water rides as well)
5. Toy Story Mania (not such a big fan but it would perfectly fit into Toy Story Land)
^Nice ideas. They could add Philharmagic to Fantasyland, probably on one of the unused expansion pads. Alternatively what about replacing either CineMagqiue or AniMagique?
As for Mystic Manor, that would be a great addition, and although its a variation on the Haunted Mansion theme, it could still be themed to something else. You could even add it to Adventureland - the plot where Indiana Jones Adventure was supposed to go could be used.
And what of 'Disneytown Spice Alley'? Perhaps something along those lines (even if its just the theming) would be good for an expansion of Paris' Disney Village.

I didn't get the chance to go on the Ariel ride in WDW, the queue was always 2+ hour wait no matter what day or time we visited. ::)

The Ariel ride is the same in California as in Florida. Its a dark ride similar to Phantom Manor / Haunted Mansion and uses the same type of doom buggy on a moving travaeltor system expect the buggys are clam shells. The clam shells take you through a condensed version of The Little Mermaid film, with the main characters and main songs featured. The scenes and anamatronics are very bright and they make good use of plastic. I think its a cute ride, I always go on it at least once during my California trip but some might not like the constant music and the overall cheapness looking anamatronics
Indiana Jones Adventure I believe was original planned for Paris right next to Temple Du Peril as a Indiana Jones Mini Land. I would love it if they dusted off the plans and went ahead. Also with the rumour that Hollywood Studios at WDW are meant to be getting Indiana Jones Adventure 2.0 they could just make share development costs maybe..
Anyway here's a pic from http://disneyandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/when-indiana-jones-adventure-will-be.html (http://disneyandmore.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/when-indiana-jones-adventure-will-be.html) showing where it as planned to go and the room is still there waiting for it to be built.

Also id love to see Soarin in Adventureland too (If the one going into Shanghai Disneyland is themed correctly)

It's what fastpasses are for. ;) In this case, I think I did Ariel with my 5th or 6th fastpass on a long Magic Kingdom day. :D
Hi guys,
Hopefully this is the best place to post this. Basically, there are a lot of dates posted on Twitter, changing on a seemingly daily basis, about when certain attractions and restaurants at Disneyland Paris are closing and when they're reopening. It's quite confusing to make sense of.
After a few months of collating and tweeting these dates as images, the idea has matured into an article (one page) that I'll do my best to keep up-to-date.
So, please bookmark this, and keep checking it. I hope you find it useful. :)

I love the Little Mermaid ride! It's so cute sitting in the little clm shells - its also a much better conveyor belt system like Buzz Lightyear and so the queue seems to move faster.
Quote from: DisneyRon on June 14, 2015, 12:19:26 PM

And what would they do with that giant empty corner of Discoveryland? You'd need a major new attraction to fill all that empty space.
Santa Fé as a Mos Eisley or Star Wars themed resort is a neat idea though, you could do a lot with that.
Though as you said, there are more interesting locations in the Star Wars universe to visit. :)
They could put in a "Sorin" like they have at WDW. or better yet the Dinosaurs ride the time traveling aspect of the ride would tie in to the steampunk theme, also it's my all time favorite ride :) both rides have an aspect of "Discovery" and would tie into discoveryland well enough to move the star wars themed attractions to WDS park.
Apparently the planning for the enhancement of Studio Tram Tours has been changed: it is now planned to close for the first three months of 2017. That's quite a bit shorter than originally planned (eight months). I wonder what this means for the final result?
http://holidays.disneylandparis.co.uk/eep.html
I'd there an official date for adventure idle to reopen? It says until September but nothing more precise. We're taking mum on the 8th x and one of our favourite things to do is play hide n seek in skull rock

That it was cancelled entirely, IMO they're just going to paint a few things and do a few touch-ups, the original plan was to have 3 scenes, Cars, Marvel and Star Wars, IMO we're going to see one at most and honestly I can't even see that happening.
I see the rocks at the entrance to Discoveryland have been removed. Just an effort to improve egress or are they going to change more in that part of the land?

From DisneylandBerry on Twitter: "From now to December 2016, the Discoveryland entrance will be paved and the basins will be entirely refurbished (relamping and new effects)"
As long as they don't temper with the steampunk theming I guess I'll be alright with this decision...
^Thanks. Given rumours of a Star Wars mini-land (and the march of the Guardians of the Galaxy into EPCOT's Future World), I was concerned that this was the start of something for Disco-land.

just don't think we have the budget for it, for the foreseeable future at least our Star Wars land will be basically that mini land we already have in Discoveryland.
I see that 'Uncle' Bob, Tom Fitzgerald and Bob Weis were spotting in Frontierland this morning. I know it's too early to get our hopes up, but it's encouraging to see them in the parks again.
Does anyone know of any rumours or news regarding the Phantom Manor update? I hope they do my favourite ride justice! :D
