Disneyland Paris: General Discussion

No brainer, Parc Disneyland. Studios has a few great rides (mainly Tower of Terror) but as a park it doesn't hold up.
 
Walt Disney Studios park has some great rides but is by far the worst Disney park out there in terms of 'feel' and atmosphere, it just isn't Disney and has no magic. Parc Disneyland is fantastic although it still needs more attractions.

Talking of new attractions at DLP, there is obviously a lot going on at the moment in terms of refurbishments and most of that is due to be completed by September next year. Over the last two or three years there have been plenty of rumours regarding both parks but as far as I am aware nothing after this refurbishments has been announced for either park. I'm sure Disney do have plans but at this rate it's hard to see any major new rides appearing before 2020 at the earliest.

:)
 
Personally, id choose studios. Doesn't have the same atmosphere as parc Disney, but rides like ToT, rock n rollercoaster, and ratatouille are a bigger draw for me than Indiana jones and BTM. It's personal though, and if you were with people who didn't want to do tower then parc may be a better choice.
 
Whenever I'm in WDS I always feel like I'm wasting time I could be spending in the main park next door, even though the ride line up is pretty good these days.
 
I actually kinda like WDS. I do see the complaints, but I've always liked being in the park and the rides are brilliant (TOT <3)

However, the Magic Kingdom park is miles better.

All sounds good apart from the unimaginative name for the new nightime show, Disney Illuminations.

:)
 
Probably missed it somewhere, but I didn't know space mountain was getting a star wars retheme. Anyone know if its permanent?
 
Hyperspace Mountain will just be a temporary overlay now as they have done previously for Space Mountain in Anaheim and Hong Kong. I think there have been rumours that it may last longer as Mission 2 has never really caught on but we'll have to see.

:)
 
Still needs new trains...

Disappointing that the anniversary celebrations will start without Pirates as it'll still be under rehab. The lineup itself does look good - especially if the parade includes the dragon from Festival of Fantasy at Magic Kingdom!

Is the picture of space mountain in the official press release of the 1 in Paris, or another park?

Only asking as the train cars have no over the shoulder restraints on them?

Just saw the post on their Facebook page and was hoping it was going to be Paint The Night, now I'm sad. :(

It's meant to be getting the new trains in it's next phase of downtime between January and March next year. It would be very disappointing if this now didn't happen.

:)
 
Fitting the new Vekoma trains with vest restraints is the single most vital part of any refurb for that awfull headbanger.
 
Kinda sad to see Dreams go, it was probably one of the best shows Disney have ever created (dodgy animation aside)...
