Title: Le Parc-O-Rama - What's up on my blog?
Post by: nova on April 15, 2012, 07:56:21 PM
Hi there!

Let me introduce you to my blog : Le Parco-O-Rama (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/).
It's dedicated to all things related to the Disney Parks, with a focus on Disneyland Paris since it's my 'Disney home park'. It's not really about the news (many other blogs and websites already do a great job on this). It's about pointing out Disney parks great achievements, weird PR stuff, out-of-the-box things or complete failures.

Basically, the whole point of Le Parc-O-Rama (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/) is learning things and criticize others about the Disney parks or simply having a laugh. All three being mixed most of the time.

On a larger scale, I'm seeking for quality (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/controle-qualite/) in the amusement park industry.

You'll find every post in english and french. About that, please note that French is my main language, which explains why these English translations are sometimes pretty lame.

I will sometimes come here when there's something you really can not miss on the blog, but the best way to stay in touch is to follow us via:

- The blog itself : //http://parcorama.wordpress.com/

- Twitter : http://twitter.com/parcorama (http://twitter.com/parcorama%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

- Facebook : http://www.facebook.com/parcorama (http://www.facebook.com/parcorama%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

- Google + : http://gplus.to/parcorama (http://gplus.to/parcorama%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)

- RSS feed : http://feeds.feedburner.com/parcorama (http://feeds.feedburner.com/parcorama%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)


Enjoy the blog, and feel free to leave a feedback or a comment!

Thanks for the link. I always like critical blogs about Disney parks. It's good how you always point out the negative things as well, because not everything is good at DLRP.

By the way I really like how Parc Asterix tried to steal some attention by wishing DLP a happy birthday!

Thanks Dagobert, I really appreciate!

Being critical is very important to me because there are not too many DLP related websites that also relate what's not going well. This is actually one of the reasons why I decided to create this blog.

I'm glad you enjoy it :D

The new world's best attraction is also the ugliest one! Plus a few thought on movie studios style theme parks. It's on the blog's latest post (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/transformers-the-ride-looks-ugly-and-other-thoughts-on-franchise-frenzy/)!

What's inside the new book "20 years of dreams" published by Disneyland Paris, is there anything really new inside of it, and does it really worth 49.99€?
To know it, just read my complete review on the blog (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/2012/04/30/review-new-disneyland-paris-book-20-years-of-dreams) !

Disneyland Paris main competitor Parc Asterix just opened a massive and beautifully themed roller coaster : OzIris.
The ride was actually designed by a theme park fan and you can see the difference.

I think it's good for DLP to have that level of quality to its competitors. It's very healthy and raises the bar for both parks.

We had the chance to test it lately, so it's time for a good Quality Control! Let's have a look on the blog! (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/)

Dutch theme park Efteling just opened Aquanura, a night time water fountain show, and it's actually the biggest one in Europe. Will efteling succeed to compete with Dreams in Disneyland Paris?  Let's find out with a dedicated Quality Control on the blog (//http://parcorama.wordpress.com/)!

Today I'm very happy to announce the creation of a new Parcorama side blog full of GIFS and LOLS called:

Don't be afraid by the french title, the whole blog is in english :)

Great readings- thank you.

Oh, great, it works very well now!

It's time to go back to Walt Disney World : Disney's Hollywood Studios big review has arrived!

Of course I couldn't miss the occasion to compare it with our tacky Walt Disney Studios in Paris.

Today, let's talk about the so-so merchandising offering in DLP. For that matter, I've listed a top 5 of the things Disneyland Paris should sell in the boutiques!

Here it is:

Thanks for the quick link to the english section!

Glad that you mentioned the Captain EO shirts, I bought mine four weeks ago (the one at the right at your picture) plus this terrible old stile basketball style cap ;-)

But I agree with you- I wanted to buy a nice shirt with 20th anniversary or Dreams or Big Thounder Mountain or Phantom Manor but didn't found one I liked! Same goes for the books and CDs- you hardly find them on the shops.

Hi everybody!

Lots of stuff going on these days on Le Parcorama!

First, we moved to a self hosted website, with a whole new design: www.leparcorama.com (http://www.leparcorama.com"%20target="_blank"%20rel="nofollow) .

More importantly, I'd like to share with you the (awfully long) video of our very first Walt Disney World vacation. You won't see a lot of on and off ride footage, just us having fun, talking, laughing and sometimes bitching  :mrgreen:

You can watch it right here on the new blog (//http://www.leparcorama.com/2013/04/13/walt-disney-world-universal-studios-islands-of-adventure-orlando-florida-vacation-video-vacances/)!

I hope you'll enjoy it!

Rumor has that the world's best attractions are located in Islands of Adventure. But does it make it the best theme park in the world? Let's find out in this extensive 'Quality Control' review of both parks from Universal Orlando!
