Why Disney choose to rename Walt Disney Studios to Adventure World is beyond me. Could of easily changed it to Disney Cinemagic Park instead of this lame generic name.
That name would've been hella confusing. You have to keep in mind Disney Paris caters to the entire European continent, not just French or British audiences. Adventure World is a name that's easy to grasp for those who don't have a great knowledge of English. "Cinemagic" would have been a weird English play on a French term.
So to clarify. With their €2 billion investment from TWDC, Disneyland Paris will sterilise the Disney Village and 'expand' studios. I put the word 'expand' in quotes because after all the current work is done in 2025, we will on average have gained 1 attraction from pre-avengers campus or late stage WDS 1.0 if you prefer that name. Seeing as though one of the two actually brand new attractions is a tea cups reskin, I suppose that extra addition is frozen forever after which will now be in its fourth iteration. We need to be making a reason to bring visitors to our parks rather than copying everybody else because currently most UK park goers go to WDW as it's cheaper.
It doesn't really feel like a an actual upgrade to the old walt disney studios park I mean we're only getting an expansion to get more expansion plots and the new rides isnt really new rides
Meanwhile Cars Road Trip feels extremely as a temporary ride until something serious is done with that area of land. A proper Cars land would fit and be most welcome.
What are you talking about? Cars Land? Galaxies Edge? Avengers Campus? New Orleans square? All very unique at least the first 3 are highly immersive. Rise is still my #1 and I feel like m in space every time those doors open and I see the storm troopers. That ride is very unique.
@@lifewithlulu4056 Avengers Campus at California Adventure!!!! Ariel’s Under the Sea at Pixar Pier!!!! Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot!!!!!! Pandora at Animal Kingdom!!!! Disney should rename all It’s parks as MyBrandsLand. Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Avatar all mixed with classic Disney characters spreaded all over their theme parks. I really miss the old times, when each park was very different from the others. Now we have more of the same.
@@Mr17051963 not really. Disneyland was never really about the fab 5. There wasn’t ever anything dedicated to them until toon town, which I forgot to add it to the unique lands from the other comment. Most of the original rides were IP from the Disney movies. The only originals were haunted and pirates. The transportation was all ideas from around the world. It’s a small world and Lincoln were from the world’s fair. Most of Tomorrowland was rides that were sponsored from companies. The treehouse and submarines were movie IPs. Frontierland was most likely inspired by Knott’s. Walt himself would promote his movies in the park. He rethemed the Lincoln building to promote babes in toy land. If you watch footage from the opening of star tours Lucas had always wanted to make a theme park, but couldn’t afford it so he was excited that Disney approached him. That was the first non Disney ip, but it doesn’t matter because they own Star Wars now and galaxies edge is a Disney original idea made by Disney imagineers. Before Pixar was in the parks it was a Disney brand. Disney bought them early on. I think Walt would’ve approved of that purchase because Pixar is super creative and innovative. Anything Pixar is Disney so why shouldn’t it be in the parks? Why shouldn’t little mermaid be in the parks? It’s not at Pixar pier. The pier area is on the other side. Ariel is in the waterfront area besides the fact that it was there first to get rid of the disaster that was the golden theater. I do agree they need to retheme the waterfront area. You don’t make sense. If you’re referring to the hodgepodge that is DCA or WDW studios that isn’t the fault of the now. They’re trying to correct decades of poor or unfinished ideas from Michael Eisner. DCA was so awful in the beginning. I love what it’s becoming. Talk about no depth or any real lands it was so awful, tacky and carnival. Something that Walt would’ve strived to get better because it had a similar beginning to Disneyland. Disneyland was actually pretty terrible in the beginning, but by the time Walt died it was pretty amazing, but not finished because Walt would never want it to be finished. I think we’re going to see some more creativity and innovation coming back because they’ve rehired some of the people that left or got fired during the chapek years. They hired joe Rhode to train the new imagineers. Anyways I think especially Disneyland is still a unique place to visit and still isn’t like any other theme park and I think it will stay that way. I’ve never been to Epcot, but why shouldn’t guardians be there? What it replaced was obviously out of date and not attracting people.
Disneyland Paris, sigh... "Disney Adventure World" is a crap name. The park is smaller than the DisneyLAND next door, not to mention the whole resort is smaller than Walt Disney World. And why "World" singular? The park is supposed to contain multiple worlds. Heck, one land is called "Worlds of Pixar"! The park getting a permanent nighttime spectacular is about time, because with WDS closing way before Disneyland Park everyone goes to that park for its spectacular. It causes a crammed mass of people from the castle all the way up Main Street USA. I stood there recently, and I was not comfortable at all. The rides then. Having gained just one darkride and a flatride (which is a rip-off of the Efteling's Sirocco, btw) after all these years is just pittyful. It won't do anything for the resort's capacity problems. But then again, only a slam dunk opening of an expansion like Tokyo's Fantasy Springs could. By the way, who cares if this Frozen land is also in Hong Kong? How many people in Europe do you think hop on a plane to the other side of the world to do that ride? Not a lot. Bring over more rides from the other parks! Europe won't mind! I definitely hope the rumours are true and they are actively working on a The Lion King land, as well as having relocated the Star Wars land to beyond the berm of Disneyland's Dicoveryland. I do hope the rumours of it getting the TRON coaster but with a Star Wars theme aren't true, as again that wouldn't do anything for their capacity problems. It's a short ride, and we already have consistently huge lines at something like Crush's Coaster. It would also be another coaster at the resort you can also can basically experience in Europe, as the Booster Bikes at Toverland is basically the same ride, but without the theming. The other coaster is the third sibling of Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Avengers: Flight Force at Walibi Holland.
Adventure World is a horrible name. Sounds like a Universal theme park and the logo looks like an NBC Universal splash screen. I don't understand why they needed to change the name, it still holds true if the park is done right. Under the new name the park concept makes no sense and the entryway needs to go. With the current name everything makes sense since you enter the Walt Disney Studios into the location where the productions are done and pass right through them directly into the films themselves. It makes sense for the new park concept and work they are doing. The Adventure World name just sounds unexciting and leaves the entire entryway out of place.
It doesn’t matter to me personally because I’ll never go there anyway, but Adventure World is such a generic name for a park. In true modern Disney fashion, it shows a lack of imagination.
Yeah! If I hear Adventure one more time from Disney in this, I'm gonna be convinced Caine from the Amazing Digital circus has taken over their PR division.
Post Eisner era has been all about fixing all of his errors in both US and Paris parks unfortunately. People who don’t know this tend to be harsher on Disney than those who understand the history. The Disney company has been lost not only since Walt died, but more so once they brought an outsider in to run it. Iger has tried his best to be like Walt, but he has had some missteps as well. It’s never going to be what it once was especially as we lose people that worked with Walt himself. We need to always remember that Walt never intended Disneyland to become a museum. He was even constantly changing it himself.
@@lifewithlulu4056 I love that you started off by stating about people who do and don't understand the history of the company. Fact of the matter is until within a few years of each other Paris flopped, Wells died, and Eisner had severe health problems almost a lot of what Eisner touched turned to gold. Additionally if paid any attention beyond the face value stuff that Iger says you would realise that he is trying his best to ruin anything created by Walt as he hates the man.
Disney has lost their edge…so badly…they can’t even rename a park better than the fans….and while Frozen being added is FINE, they need a solid 2-3 more lands added around the lake to fill the park out. And don’t get me started on that entrance. I know the plan is to do something more drastic someday, but why not NOW….when they’re rebranding the park? Between this, the alleged stuffing in Avatar at Disneyland, and the terrible placements of attractions going in to Walt Disney world…I just can’t with them.
What they really need to do with this park is make the park more immersive by having guests step into the worlds of their favorite Disney IP. What I would do next is replace the outdated Backlot Tour with their own Radiator Springs Racers and make that part of the World of Pixar. I would also bring back the plans to build Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, as well as other lands to the empty side of the lake themed to Avatar and Zootopia. I would also rename the park to Disney's Movie World, but I guess that would be too confusing to those who are familiar with Warner Brothers Movie World in Australia.
Technically, Walt Disney Studios Park should have been renamed Disney Adventure Paris or Disney Hollywood Adventure. Since it is basically Europe’s equivalent of Disney California Adventure. Two bizarre parks that live in the shadow of their great first gates. As for the “World of Frozen”, Europeans do not go to EPCOT and everyone hates HK Disneyland. That section was meant to appeal to the European market, especially to children. Similar to why “The Lion King” version of Splash Mountain is replacing the canceled Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland Paris does not have a water ride, and “Star Wars” is not popular anymore. Disneyland Paris will probably eventually get their version of “Avatar” and the Radiator Springs Racers, because of how popular those would be with the European market.
I’m puzzled as to why Disney is not adding Radiator springs to the dreadfully generically named Adventure World! The Euro market seems quite fascinated by the American west desert and they would have a hotel to match ( Hotel Santa Fe)! Add some air conditioning to the place and they could command more money for the rooms, which for a 30 year old property is not that big of an ask! I think the French and really all their European guests would be charmed as we are here in CA! I’m not sure how Avatar resonates in Europe. But I’m certain it doesn’t invite the warm fuzzies Radiator Springs would!
@@badiky9171 - “Avatar” is definitely going to Paris and Japan after more sequels are released, especially since the section going into Disney California Adventure will be unable to expand. Honestly, I can see Disneyland Paris eventually receiving their version of the Radiator Springs Racers, and even a “Beauty and the Beast” attraction in the future.
The most staggering thing for me is that the actual attractions being added are really *really* not that exciting. A spinner ride, a vague Marvel "show" and the Alice entertainment (which does look decent to be fair). But none of this will deal with the main issue with this park - that it's a half day park at best due to lack of attractions. They need more, exciting, unique rides.
I think they did this when they did because a) it was Disneyland's anniversary on the day and b) a lot of the work was progressing or about to begin so they needed to get ahead of it. But you're right, I imagine D23 will hopefully provide a few more details including opening dates. Not to mention they have to step it up if the proposed Universal GB goes ahead!
I have no idea, people in high positions seemingly love to take some weird english term and use it as a noun. We see it in my country too where companies have started describing events not as events, but as "Happenings". Like "There is a happening at the mall next week" like it just makes no sense.
It's fine to have a tea cup ride. Kids love the tea cups, dumbo and the carousel and I think every park should just have variations on those three rides to add capacity and family friendly attractions. You can't have a park with just e-tickets after all.
@@luma4902 That's a fair point! Everybody wants for their favorite property to have a big E-ticket ride after all and Tangled is pretty popular. Hopefully it's just a start!
@@EspenSGX ANY new rides adds capacity, and quick flat rides usually have a quick turnover rate. Of course, in this situation, they're part of a larger expansion that will surely increas the number of visitors so they won't be enough.
if they want to go big they could redo the indiana jones coaster to the thing they had imagined back when the resort still was in the making (big maya temple) with both a indy minecart coaster and an indoor jungle cruise themed to the jungle book (disney railroad also came to that temple as a stop) it was super big and i could see them do something like universal did for the park hop function at the harry potter world (from the studio to islands of adventures) so like get into somekind of ride or passthrough (somethin flashy ;p) and ur over at the other park idk but that would have been awesome
Well, The Temple of Peril rollercoaster is on its last legs. (People have spotted things like white spots on the construction that would indicate the ride is at its end.) Actually building the temple with the darkride and rollercoaster would be MOST welcome, because that grass field where it was supposed to be needs to be filled after three decades!
@@EspenSGX yup and with Joe Rohde back at disney i can see them do it fr this time and with that said i think most of the things they wanted to make at the disneyland park but never did can still be done like that gyser drop tower in frontierland and the whole look into space mountain thing (the door for that was already made) if disney want everything is there and in the archives
I really cant see the problem with Frozen being in other parks too. Those parks are faaar from europe, Disneyland Paris is making these changes to attract Europeans, not americans, nor hong kong citizens.
I saw a mock up with the name Disney's Hollywood Adventure, which I thought was quite cool. Like you say, there are already many parks around the world called Adventure World, plus hundreds of indoor play areas. I personally think they should have expanded the Studios with at least 2 new areas. What's the point in bragging that the park is "doubling in size" with only one new major ride? And I actually hope The Lion King rumours end up being false. Don't get me wrong, I love the thought of a Splash Mountain style ride themed to The Lion King, but there's still perfect home for that already in Adventureland in the main park. Keep this second gate for modern films, like Avatar.
Very confused with the parks layour...so many 'hubs' or 'way' or 'plaza' leading to the licensed 'worlds'.... Doesn't make any sense....Not to mention Alice in Wonderland...what is exactely the 'new story' of tyis park? 😮
Desperation, the "new story" is desperation... With that jokingly said though, the Alice show looks like something I would like... but no interest in boat shaped teacups.
The theme is "IP dumping ground". But seriously, though. The Frozen darkride or the Tangled flat ride would fit better at Disneyland Park, but they have let domestic development so close to the park Fantasyland doesn't have a lot of room to expand to. They could maybe fit something behind the train station and between It's a Small World and Discoveryland, but that's it!
@@EspenSGX I could be fine with an 'IP dumping ground'...but in a creative & structured way. We could say Epic Universe is one, but come onew there's some real cohesive structure arounf everything there, Disney is just lazy, that's sad 😢
@@nicolaso3183 I agree. Walt Disney Studios could have been the park where they built things around "non-Disney" IPs, like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and everything else 20th Century Studios. That could have worked. But that ship has sailed with Frozen.
Disneyland paris needs 2 more e tickets: rise of the resistance and mickey and minnies. Another fantasyland dark ride? Just lazily lift them in for all i care. Throw soarin in that discoveryland; it would require zero effort and will be a hit. Adventure bay needs 2 more lands. One animated ip, and pandora. Whatever avengers e ticket comes to california adventure. Etc etc . Just to stay current. Its amazing how far hong kong disneyland has come from when it opened. The studios park has needed so much help that you still barely notice that it has improved. Glad theyre spending money they just gotta keep going and we have to manage our expectations. Once that bay is updated theyll have to rip up their crappy pixar kiddie land. One pro of their lag in investment is that disneyland paris park has been spared from a bunch of junk investment over the years. It's still a great, very pure castle park.
More fantasy in walt disney studios : I think this park desperately needs one in the second gate ! Even if it's a copy and paste. It would help the park anyway. Rise of the resistance: why not, but it has problems of maintenance in the US. The main character aren't that popular also... Mickey and minne : I think it will come Soarin : the concept had been cloned in many competitors in Europe (europa park and futuroscope) and very famous over here. I don't think it's a good idea (except flight of passage) Avatar would be an excellent addition. The theme of the universe resonates with a lot of people over here. And it had good box office revenues.
I'd be happy if they "just" copy-pasted rides to Disneyland Paris. It's not like that many people in Europe hop on a plane to another continent for a theme park. (Especially not as they want to discourage flying.) If you ask me they need to add the following. Walt Disney Studios - Cars land where currently is Cars Road Trip (big enough area and connects to Worlds of Pixar). - The Avengers darkride where currently is the stunt show arena. - A Doctor Strange Sanctum Sanctorum version of Mystic Manor to the left of Avengers: Flight Force (as it's the "modern Haunted/Phantom Manor" it must come to WDS) - To round off Avengers Campus, I won't be happy it happens, but retheme Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy. - Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway where now is that Sorcerer's hat building. A tight fit, but going with the size of the Florida version it could be done if they also move the parachute drop. - An Avatar land. - Move the Flying Carpets to Disneyland Park's Adventureland. Maybe they could fit Monster, Inc. Hide and Go Seek in its place. Disneyland Park - Demolish Temple of Peril (it's on its last legs anyway) and build the rollercoaster and darkride temple complex, like envisioned. - Splash Mountain in the Frontierland train station area, but that ride type is probably coming to The Lion King land. - Seven Dwarves Mine Train, either where now is the Alice in Wonderland maze or the Casey Jr./Storybook canal boats area. - Another option for that area: the Beauty and the Beast darkride, like envisioned to come to Fantasyland. - A Winnie the Pooh darkride - Soaring in the Videopolis building, I think it could fit. It's a huge building. - Return Space Mountain to its original theming. - Built a Star Wars land with a darkride beyond the berm of Discoveryland. There's already the tunnel under the train tracks that once went to Pizza Planet and you could remodel Star Tours to have you exit in the Star Wars land. It's a lot, but this resort has been stagnant for decades.
@EspenSGX love it! Videopolis is exactly where i pictured soarin too. Disneyland paris doesnt need another roller coaster. Dated launched vekomas all over the place. They really need dark rides and youve named plenty of those. Very much agree with your thoughts. Guardians is fun but not necessary to replace tower of terror. I love spooky and paranormal theme park rides.
They can change the name 100 times, it still stays a half day park with a strange combination of themes and rides. A tea cup ride and a frozen copy (under construction for almost 6 years) won't change that...
Im so happy fantasy springs in Tokyo disney is going for art noveau instead of a more modern art direction other Disney parks seem to be going for some years now
I'm sorry, that whole announcement of Avengers Campus's upcoming new "activation" reads like it was written in AI. ... They could've just gone with Disney CinéMagique Park, it was staring them _right in the face!_ 😬
Until they get that last land, be it Lion King or something else exclusive to that park, there’s not a huge incentive to go. Like you said, there’s already too much Frozen. I’ve ridden the ride in Epcot, I’m good. Seeing the caste would be nice but the ride isn’t a must do attraction. The rest of the park isn’t too spectacular either, with main priorities just being Crush’s Coaster and Cars Road Trip. So I’m really waiting to hear about this last land.
I can't believe you wrote that Cars Road Trip is a priority attraction at WDS. It's a tram ride with a couple of static Cars figures and a redone Catastrophy Canyon. Crush maybe, even if it's just a fair ground spinner coaster with some theming. (I'm not kidding about the fair ground, this model actually does tour around.) For Europeans the Frozen land is an incentive to go to DLP. Most people won't hop on a plane for a theme park visit, but may drive to DLP.
I mean the incentive is for the people in Europe. Idk why in the US there's that costant thinking that every decision is to attract them. No, DisneyLand Paris if for europeans.
@@ricln5464Oh I’m sorry I guess I’ll never book a trip to your country and spend money in your park ✌🏻 Haha it’s your own missed opportunities I don’t pity you
Being a fan of the brand you should want to encourage individually exclusive lands that encourage more international travelers. You’re so caught up in your jealousy of the power in American tourism, get over it.
I hope they do a new Frozen boat ride and not just a rehash of the HKDL and Epcot versions. However, making something new would cost a little bit more in the imagineering department, so I expect it will be another clone. I expect the Tangled attraction at TDS will blow you away, whereas the DAW version is a teacup ride. So predictable.
I feel kinda bad for tangled it is one of disney best movies especially recently and in the parks they only have bathrooms and in europe where the fairytale is from they will receive a teacup ride reskin i really hope disney fantasy springs delivers the amazing attraction the movie actually deserves
Not sold on the Lion King flume concept. And the Alice show sounds like a cheap thing to hold over attention until something major replaces it. Why not re-theme the Cars flat ride to Coco, or something? (There are two Cars rides in the same park, but not grouped together). Or expand Marvel with a Thor Beer Garden towards the lake? Etc.
Ah, well I have heard rumours that the remaining pointless section of the tram tour which is that second cars attraction is only temporary until the lake opens.
So it's...basically Epic Universe, complete with the very generic name? I'd insert the usual "over-reliance on IP" comment here, but part of the trouble is really just copying Universal's formula when Disney should be doing its own thing. Still, I suppose just about any action done on a park with that many issues is a positive, but like so many other projects Disney's done lately the question will linger whether it goes as far as it can go, and whether it'll all really add capacity in a significant way.
While this park needed and update I very much agree that there is a lack of imagination or they simply don’t really care as it’s shown with their lack of creativity when changing the parks theme it’s not the name but why should we be hyped for the frozen land when there are already existing ones If Disney would have gone with an Idea that really sparked imagination and immersion they could’ve gone bigger than animal kingdom bringing in more guests this is just my opinion though but seriously what’s going with modern Disney
Disney Cinemagic would of been a better name change instead of “Adventure World”. Also I really do hope that the next land/attraction being added to Adventure Bay is something unique and exciting.
Who cares about IPs that are over a decade old? Frozen would have been cool when it was relevant 13 years ago… but now?? Disney has really lost its “original magic…” take a note from Universal, Disney…
I don’t understand why they call it the worst Disney park Disneyland Paris is an amazing park we have been 16 times and it’s great that they are adding new things so please stop being negative about Disneyland Paris you and your families will have a great exciting time. Well done DLP for adding new things and we can’t wait to go again next Easter.
You can definitely have a great time at Disneyland Paris, but we've got to be honest here. This Disney resort has some serious issues. - Disneyland Park won't have had an additional ride (so a brand new ride and not a retheme) for 30 years in 2025! - Upkeep at the parks is lacking. For example, the castle has been refurbished but leaks everywhere when it rains, causing serious damage, and the Toon Studios meet-and-greet wall almost immediately started to wear down. - Walt Disney Studios will only have gained one major ride and one flat ride when the lake and Frozen area opens. A pitiful development rate when compared to the competition in Europe and a nightmare for capacity. - Talking about the competition, DLP has the highest ticket price of any European theme park, yet other parks offer more and of the same quality for lower prices. (DLP asks more than double than what the Efteling asks for a day ticket, for example.)
Disneyland Paris continues to be given the cheap treatment by the Disney company. Even when they spend billions on expanding the parks, they can't even give the resort new rides. It's honestly sad.
Disney please don’t change the name to Walt Disney Studios to Adventure World. It’s like changing Paris to Pluto! The Magic Kingdom already has an Adventure Land. Focus on improving the theme parks with new rides and attractions instead of changing the name! And if anything make a 3rd park and call it Disney Dream.😊✨🥂
What a dumb name for the park,sad they didn’t push the hollywood retro theme by reworking the plaza into a buena vista street to work with the hollywood tower, they could have created a wonderful cinema facade on one of those studio buildings and add the “ mickey runaway train” there. Although sick of frozen, it would have been amazing to place it in the back of Disneyland fantasyland.HATE the tacky Alice in wonderland art direction. I wanted to see Mary Blair colors,graphics and foliage and not this BMX videogame crap. The costumes look like they were designed by a hairdresser on crack.😂
This is indisputably the worst Disney park (arguably the only truly bad park they've ever made) so the update and refresh is a great idea, but I'm not sure I could come up with a worse name than Disney Adventure World if I tried. It sounds like a fifth tier local amusement park on its last legs.
The name sounds like a generic Universal park....or even worse a Six Flags park. They should have called it Disney Paris Adventure Park like Disney California Adventure Park. It's brand consistent and it still has the emotional connection to Paris. Statements like "world" are so American. Just like when they called it Euro Disney and it didn't resonate with Europeans, this name isn't European either.
The majority of visitors to the Disney parks in Paris do not care at all what they will do with the Studios. The only thing that matters to them to say to their children is, "We're going to Disney." And for many here in Europe it is also a visit that they make once in their lives, because they then realize that they have paid a lot of money for a visit to a large store with an attraction here and there. Fortunately, every year there are new children who drive their parents crazy with the question: when are we going to Disney?
This doesn't excite me at all Disney has done very little with walt Disney studios for years now the potential universal studios great Britain has obviously lit a fire under Disney but this doesn't seem like enough imo
Tlk? Cool! But how is The Hollywood Tower Hotel gonna fit? If they defile it with Marvel I'm gonna be pissed lol. Also why the Hell is Disney so obsessed with post-modern? Like tbh its miserable and looks like a glorified hospital, also I hope that the area around it has a more consistent theme, it's just kinda there, like, ugh, such a beautifully themed ride in a not-so-well-themed area.
Great recap of the news release and I agree with your views from the announcement. I’ve heard the rumours on the Lion King water ride from several sources. There is no doubt that the Lion King is a loved IP for Disney, but think it will be another misstep if they don’t follow through with creating a Galaxy Edge. Star Wars is huge IP for Disney and they need to exploit this franchise, which currently is massively underrepresented in the two parks. I’ve also heard the rumour they will put either Rise of The Resistance or Smugglers Run next to Star Tours. That could resolve the issue, but I still think a dedicated area would draw a larger audience to warrant a trip to the parks.
if they can't do themed worlds as good as phantasialand and europa park can then they aren't gonna pull any more of the European visitors in than they already do, even with the disney name. Why would people go out of their way to visit a park that even after a refurbishment can't keep up with the german parks
Look any change to this park is good, but that name is an absolute stinker. Naming by committee is always bad. But this dilutes some of their existing branding. Then to just call everything Adventure. Time to pop over to adventure world, and pop down adventure way to adventure bay and then visit adventure land. Oh wait no.
The true creative drive from Walt Disney Imagineering died with Joe Rohde retiring.
Amen! Let's not forget ignoring Tony Baxter when he expressed interest in returning.
Why Disney choose to rename Walt Disney Studios to Adventure World is beyond me.
Could of easily changed it to Disney Cinemagic Park instead of this lame generic name.
I know right? " Disney Adventure Studios" would've been good too but instead we got a Rollercoaster Tycoon type default park name.
Corporate leadership for whatever reason is hellbent to disregard the true Disney ideas and disrespect the fans.
I think that's the point. By making it generic, it gives Disney more flexibility in what could be included.
That name would've been hella confusing. You have to keep in mind Disney Paris caters to the entire European continent, not just French or British audiences. Adventure World is a name that's easy to grasp for those who don't have a great knowledge of English. "Cinemagic" would have been a weird English play on a French term.
I don’t like the name either but it’s not that difficult to understand they’re trying to be more generic like whatever “Epic Universe” means
"When in doubt... Art Deco!" Hahaha. On the nail.
Activation, gag. Hahaha
So to clarify. With their €2 billion investment from TWDC, Disneyland Paris will sterilise the Disney Village and 'expand' studios. I put the word 'expand' in quotes because after all the current work is done in 2025, we will on average have gained 1 attraction from pre-avengers campus or late stage WDS 1.0 if you prefer that name.
Seeing as though one of the two actually brand new attractions is a tea cups reskin, I suppose that extra addition is frozen forever after which will now be in its fourth iteration.
We need to be making a reason to bring visitors to our parks rather than copying everybody else because currently most UK park goers go to WDW as it's cheaper.
It doesn't really feel like a an actual upgrade to the old walt disney studios park I mean we're only getting an expansion to get more expansion plots and the new rides isnt really new rides
Meanwhile Cars Road Trip feels extremely as a temporary ride until something serious is done with that area of land. A proper Cars land would fit and be most welcome.
Disney Parks are all losing their unique theming and changing to something like an AnythingGoesLand! Sad to watch 😢
What are you talking about? Cars Land? Galaxies Edge? Avengers Campus? New Orleans square? All very unique at least the first 3 are highly immersive. Rise is still my #1 and I feel like m in space every time those doors open and I see the storm troopers. That ride is very unique.
@@lifewithlulu4056 Avengers Campus at California Adventure!!!! Ariel’s Under the Sea at Pixar Pier!!!! Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot!!!!!! Pandora at Animal Kingdom!!!! Disney should rename all It’s parks as MyBrandsLand. Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Avatar all mixed with classic Disney characters spreaded all over their theme parks. I really miss the old times, when each park was very different from the others. Now we have more of the same.
@@Mr17051963 not really. Disneyland was never really about the fab 5. There wasn’t ever anything dedicated to them until toon town, which I forgot to add it to the unique lands from the other comment. Most of the original rides were IP from the Disney movies. The only originals were haunted and pirates. The transportation was all ideas from around the world. It’s a small world and Lincoln were from the world’s fair. Most of Tomorrowland was rides that were sponsored from companies. The treehouse and submarines were movie IPs. Frontierland was most likely inspired by Knott’s. Walt himself would promote his movies in the park. He rethemed the Lincoln building to promote babes in toy land. If you watch footage from the opening of star tours Lucas had always wanted to make a theme park, but couldn’t afford it so he was excited that Disney approached him. That was the first non Disney ip, but it doesn’t matter because they own Star Wars now and galaxies edge is a Disney original idea made by Disney imagineers. Before Pixar was in the parks it was a Disney brand. Disney bought them early on. I think Walt would’ve approved of that purchase because Pixar is super creative and innovative. Anything Pixar is Disney so why shouldn’t it be in the parks? Why shouldn’t little mermaid be in the parks? It’s not at Pixar pier. The pier area is on the other side. Ariel is in the waterfront area besides the fact that it was there first to get rid of the disaster that was the golden theater. I do agree they need to retheme the waterfront area. You don’t make sense. If you’re referring to the hodgepodge that is DCA or WDW studios that isn’t the fault of the now. They’re trying to correct decades of poor or unfinished ideas from Michael Eisner. DCA was so awful in the beginning. I love what it’s becoming. Talk about no depth or any real lands it was so awful, tacky and carnival. Something that Walt would’ve strived to get better because it had a similar beginning to Disneyland. Disneyland was actually pretty terrible in the beginning, but by the time Walt died it was pretty amazing, but not finished because Walt would never want it to be finished. I think we’re going to see some more creativity and innovation coming back because they’ve rehired some of the people that left or got fired during the chapek years. They hired joe Rhode to train the new imagineers. Anyways I think especially Disneyland is still a unique place to visit and still isn’t like any other theme park and I think it will stay that way. I’ve never been to Epcot, but why shouldn’t guardians be there? What it replaced was obviously out of date and not attracting people.
Thank goodness for Tokyo Disneyland. They're the only "real" Disney park left in my opinion. Fantasy Springs will be off the charts
@@Devoto18 Agree 💯
Disneyland Paris, sigh... "Disney Adventure World" is a crap name. The park is smaller than the DisneyLAND next door, not to mention the whole resort is smaller than Walt Disney World. And why "World" singular? The park is supposed to contain multiple worlds. Heck, one land is called "Worlds of Pixar"!
The park getting a permanent nighttime spectacular is about time, because with WDS closing way before Disneyland Park everyone goes to that park for its spectacular. It causes a crammed mass of people from the castle all the way up Main Street USA. I stood there recently, and I was not comfortable at all.
The rides then. Having gained just one darkride and a flatride (which is a rip-off of the Efteling's Sirocco, btw) after all these years is just pittyful. It won't do anything for the resort's capacity problems. But then again, only a slam dunk opening of an expansion like Tokyo's Fantasy Springs could. By the way, who cares if this Frozen land is also in Hong Kong? How many people in Europe do you think hop on a plane to the other side of the world to do that ride? Not a lot. Bring over more rides from the other parks! Europe won't mind!
I definitely hope the rumours are true and they are actively working on a The Lion King land, as well as having relocated the Star Wars land to beyond the berm of Disneyland's Dicoveryland. I do hope the rumours of it getting the TRON coaster but with a Star Wars theme aren't true, as again that wouldn't do anything for their capacity problems. It's a short ride, and we already have consistently huge lines at something like Crush's Coaster. It would also be another coaster at the resort you can also can basically experience in Europe, as the Booster Bikes at Toverland is basically the same ride, but without the theming. The other coaster is the third sibling of Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Avengers: Flight Force at Walibi Holland.
Disney CinéMagic is more french and elegant😊❤❤❤
Adventure World is a horrible name. Sounds like a Universal theme park and the logo looks like an NBC Universal splash screen. I don't understand why they needed to change the name, it still holds true if the park is done right. Under the new name the park concept makes no sense and the entryway needs to go. With the current name everything makes sense since you enter the Walt Disney Studios into the location where the productions are done and pass right through them directly into the films themselves. It makes sense for the new park concept and work they are doing. The Adventure World name just sounds unexciting and leaves the entire entryway out of place.
my thoughts exactly!! if stripped of IPs and titles you could've easily convinced me this was some old school Universal property
I get how WDS never intended to be an actual studio, but the studio buildings and theming is what tied the park together as a movie park for me.
Everyone in France hates the studio buildings, though.
It doesn’t matter to me personally because I’ll never go there anyway, but Adventure World is such a generic name for a park. In true modern Disney fashion, it shows a lack of imagination.
Adventure bay? Adventure way??? Enough with the adventures already!
THE ADVENTURE ADVENTURE IN ADVENTURE
I hope they make an onsite hotel called Adventure Stay.
Yeah! If I hear Adventure one more time from Disney in this, I'm gonna be convinced Caine from the Amazing Digital circus has taken over their PR division.
@@motleykingdom9394 Disney Village will be re-named into The shopping and dining adventure
Let's just rebrand all of WDW:
-Disney's Fairy Tale Adventure
-Disney's Discovery Adventure
-Disney's Hollywood Adventure
-Disney's Animal Adventure
Nope too creative.
- Disney's Kingdom World
- Disney's Adventure Universe
- Disney's Live-Action Adventure
- Disney's Adventure Land
announcements from disney mean absolutely nothing. only get excited when building permits are filed and construction equipment arrives on site.
The expansion is in a pretty advanced construction state
Pretty sure nobody is confusing Perth with Paris 😂
When Disney+ Imagineering doc called this a bad park, a key sign a change was needed.
Post Eisner era has been all about fixing all of his errors in both US and Paris parks unfortunately. People who don’t know this tend to be harsher on Disney than those who understand the history. The Disney company has been lost not only since Walt died, but more so once they brought an outsider in to run it. Iger has tried his best to be like Walt, but he has had some missteps as well. It’s never going to be what it once was especially as we lose people that worked with Walt himself. We need to always remember that Walt never intended Disneyland to become a museum. He was even constantly changing it himself.
@@lifewithlulu4056 I love that you started off by stating about people who do and don't understand the history of the company. Fact of the matter is until within a few years of each other Paris flopped, Wells died, and Eisner had severe health problems almost a lot of what Eisner touched turned to gold. Additionally if paid any attention beyond the face value stuff that Iger says you would realise that he is trying his best to ruin anything created by Walt as he hates the man.
Disney has lost their edge…so badly…they can’t even rename a park better than the fans….and while Frozen being added is FINE, they need a solid 2-3 more lands added around the lake to fill the park out.
And don’t get me started on that entrance. I know the plan is to do something more drastic someday, but why not NOW….when they’re rebranding the park?
Between this, the alleged stuffing in Avatar at Disneyland, and the terrible placements of attractions going in to Walt Disney world…I just can’t with them.
yes, Disney CinéMagic is better
What they really need to do with this park is make the park more immersive by having guests step into the worlds of their favorite Disney IP. What I would do next is replace the outdated Backlot Tour with their own Radiator Springs Racers and make that part of the World of Pixar. I would also bring back the plans to build Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, as well as other lands to the empty side of the lake themed to Avatar and Zootopia.
I would also rename the park to Disney's Movie World, but I guess that would be too confusing to those who are familiar with Warner Brothers Movie World in Australia.
"Movie World" would also clash with Movie Park in Germany, which initially was Warner Bros. Movie World.
Galaxy’s Edge was canceled, because “Star Wars” is not all that popular in Europe. While, “Zootopia” is a Shanghai exclusive.
The press release is giving ChatGPT
I'm assuming it's badly translated from French
Technically, Walt Disney Studios Park should have been renamed Disney Adventure Paris or Disney Hollywood Adventure. Since it is basically Europe’s equivalent of Disney California Adventure. Two bizarre parks that live in the shadow of their great first gates.
As for the “World of Frozen”, Europeans do not go to EPCOT and everyone hates HK Disneyland. That section was meant to appeal to the European market, especially to children. Similar to why “The Lion King” version of Splash Mountain is replacing the canceled Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland Paris does not have a water ride, and “Star Wars” is not popular anymore. Disneyland Paris will probably eventually get their version of “Avatar” and the Radiator Springs Racers, because of how popular those would be with the European market.
They’ll definitely get a Pandora land version over Galaxy Edge now especially with 3 more avatar movies coming out
I’m puzzled as to why Disney is not adding Radiator springs to the dreadfully generically named Adventure World! The Euro market seems quite fascinated by the American west desert and they would have a hotel to match ( Hotel Santa Fe)! Add some air conditioning to the place and they could command more money for the rooms, which for a 30 year old property is not that big of an ask! I think the French and really all their European guests would be charmed as we are here in CA! I’m not sure how Avatar resonates in Europe. But I’m certain it doesn’t invite the warm fuzzies Radiator Springs would!
Avatar is very popular in Europe. It had excellent box office revenue from both episode.
Cars land definitely should come on the area currently used for Cars Road Trip. That ride screams "temporary!"
They also have a Radiator Springs motel which is really trashy
@@badiky9171 - “Avatar” is definitely going to Paris and Japan after more sequels are released, especially since the section going into Disney California Adventure will be unable to expand.
Honestly, I can see Disneyland Paris eventually receiving their version of the Radiator Springs Racers, and even a “Beauty and the Beast” attraction in the future.
Great video Dom! Can't wait to see what they've been cooking for D23.
The most staggering thing for me is that the actual attractions being added are really *really* not that exciting. A spinner ride, a vague Marvel "show" and the Alice entertainment (which does look decent to be fair). But none of this will deal with the main issue with this park - that it's a half day park at best due to lack of attractions. They need more, exciting, unique rides.
I think they did this when they did because a) it was Disneyland's anniversary on the day and b) a lot of the work was progressing or about to begin so they needed to get ahead of it. But you're right, I imagine D23 will hopefully provide a few more details including opening dates. Not to mention they have to step it up if the proposed Universal GB goes ahead!
Its remarkable how much I truly hate Adventure Way surrounding Adventure Bay inside Adventure World. I am excited for the Tangled flat ride, tho
It’s also disappointing… don’t forget disappointing.
most times, when people note that something is "beloved", it really isn't. also, when did "activation" become a noun?
I have no idea, people in high positions seemingly love to take some weird english term and use it as a noun. We see it in my country too where companies have started describing events not as events, but as "Happenings". Like "There is a happening at the mall next week" like it just makes no sense.
It's fine to have a tea cup ride. Kids love the tea cups, dumbo and the carousel and I think every park should just have variations on those three rides to add capacity and family friendly attractions. You can't have a park with just e-tickets after all.
The thing is, it won't add capacity for WDS. I can already see 30+ minutes waits for it, while it should be a 15 minute wait at the maximum.
I understand have a teacup ride but a teacup being tangled only attraction in the Paris parks it seems like such a waste
@@luma4902 That's a fair point! Everybody wants for their favorite property to have a big E-ticket ride after all and Tangled is pretty popular. Hopefully it's just a start!
@@EspenSGX ANY new rides adds capacity, and quick flat rides usually have a quick turnover rate. Of course, in this situation, they're part of a larger expansion that will surely increas the number of visitors so they won't be enough.
if they want to go big they could redo the indiana jones coaster to the thing they had imagined back when the resort still was in the making (big maya temple) with both a indy minecart coaster and an indoor jungle cruise themed to the jungle book (disney railroad also came to that temple as a stop) it was super big and i could see them do something like universal did for the park hop function at the harry potter world (from the studio to islands of adventures) so like get into somekind of ride or passthrough (somethin flashy ;p) and ur over at the other park idk but that would have been awesome
Well, The Temple of Peril rollercoaster is on its last legs. (People have spotted things like white spots on the construction that would indicate the ride is at its end.) Actually building the temple with the darkride and rollercoaster would be MOST welcome, because that grass field where it was supposed to be needs to be filled after three decades!
@@EspenSGX yup and with Joe Rohde back at disney i can see them do it fr this time and with that said i think most of the things they wanted to make at the disneyland park but never did can still be done like that gyser drop tower in frontierland and the whole look into space mountain thing (the door for that was already made) if disney want everything is there and in the archives
I really cant see the problem with Frozen being in other parks too. Those parks are faaar from europe, Disneyland Paris is making these changes to attract Europeans, not americans, nor hong kong citizens.
I saw a mock up with the name Disney's Hollywood Adventure, which I thought was quite cool. Like you say, there are already many parks around the world called Adventure World, plus hundreds of indoor play areas.
I personally think they should have expanded the Studios with at least 2 new areas. What's the point in bragging that the park is "doubling in size" with only one new major ride?
And I actually hope The Lion King rumours end up being false. Don't get me wrong, I love the thought of a Splash Mountain style ride themed to The Lion King, but there's still perfect home for that already in Adventureland in the main park. Keep this second gate for modern films, like Avatar.
“New park” = Two new rides 😂
Did Disney say why the Star Wars part of the expansion was scrapped? :(
Giant charecter models and plushie mountains. Thats allllll you need for a Disney store. My kiddos don’t want to shop in a hospital waiting room.
Hi from Europe! I can confirm that the first confusing thing is French people pronouncing "Adventure World" with a very strong french accent 😂😂
someone fire the team behind that rebrand
Why not… Disney’s France Adventure
Very confused with the parks layour...so many 'hubs' or 'way' or 'plaza' leading to the licensed 'worlds'.... Doesn't make any sense....Not to mention Alice in Wonderland...what is exactely the 'new story' of tyis park? 😮
Desperation, the "new story" is desperation... With that jokingly said though, the Alice show looks like something I would like... but no interest in boat shaped teacups.
The theme is "IP dumping ground". But seriously, though. The Frozen darkride or the Tangled flat ride would fit better at Disneyland Park, but they have let domestic development so close to the park Fantasyland doesn't have a lot of room to expand to. They could maybe fit something behind the train station and between It's a Small World and Discoveryland, but that's it!
@@EspenSGX I could be fine with an 'IP dumping ground'...but in a creative & structured way. We could say Epic Universe is one, but come onew there's some real cohesive structure arounf everything there, Disney is just lazy, that's sad 😢
@@nicolaso3183 I agree. Walt Disney Studios could have been the park where they built things around "non-Disney" IPs, like Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar and everything else 20th Century Studios. That could have worked. But that ship has sailed with Frozen.
What is that figment statue?? Where did you get it??
Disneyland paris needs 2 more e tickets: rise of the resistance and mickey and minnies. Another fantasyland dark ride? Just lazily lift them in for all i care. Throw soarin in that discoveryland; it would require zero effort and will be a hit. Adventure bay needs 2 more lands. One animated ip, and pandora. Whatever avengers e ticket comes to california adventure. Etc etc . Just to stay current. Its amazing how far hong kong disneyland has come from when it opened. The studios park has needed so much help that you still barely notice that it has improved. Glad theyre spending money they just gotta keep going and we have to manage our expectations. Once that bay is updated theyll have to rip up their crappy pixar kiddie land.
One pro of their lag in investment is that disneyland paris park has been spared from a bunch of junk investment over the years. It's still a great, very pure castle park.
More fantasy in walt disney studios : I think this park desperately needs one in the second gate ! Even if it's a copy and paste. It would help the park anyway.
Rise of the resistance: why not, but it has problems of maintenance in the US. The main character aren't that popular also...
Mickey and minne : I think it will come
Soarin : the concept had been cloned in many competitors in Europe (europa park and futuroscope) and very famous over here. I don't think it's a good idea (except flight of passage)
Avatar would be an excellent addition. The theme of the universe resonates with a lot of people over here. And it had good box office revenues.
I'd be happy if they "just" copy-pasted rides to Disneyland Paris. It's not like that many people in Europe hop on a plane to another continent for a theme park. (Especially not as they want to discourage flying.)
If you ask me they need to add the following.
Walt Disney Studios
- Cars land where currently is Cars Road Trip (big enough area and connects to Worlds of Pixar).
- The Avengers darkride where currently is the stunt show arena.
- A Doctor Strange Sanctum Sanctorum version of Mystic Manor to the left of Avengers: Flight Force (as it's the "modern Haunted/Phantom Manor" it must come to WDS)
- To round off Avengers Campus, I won't be happy it happens, but retheme Tower of Terror to Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway where now is that Sorcerer's hat building. A tight fit, but going with the size of the Florida version it could be done if they also move the parachute drop.
- An Avatar land.
- Move the Flying Carpets to Disneyland Park's Adventureland. Maybe they could fit Monster, Inc. Hide and Go Seek in its place.
Disneyland Park
- Demolish Temple of Peril (it's on its last legs anyway) and build the rollercoaster and darkride temple complex, like envisioned.
- Splash Mountain in the Frontierland train station area, but that ride type is probably coming to The Lion King land.
- Seven Dwarves Mine Train, either where now is the Alice in Wonderland maze or the Casey Jr./Storybook canal boats area.
- Another option for that area: the Beauty and the Beast darkride, like envisioned to come to Fantasyland.
- A Winnie the Pooh darkride
- Soaring in the Videopolis building, I think it could fit. It's a huge building.
- Return Space Mountain to its original theming.
- Built a Star Wars land with a darkride beyond the berm of Discoveryland. There's already the tunnel under the train tracks that once went to Pizza Planet and you could remodel Star Tours to have you exit in the Star Wars land.
It's a lot, but this resort has been stagnant for decades.
@EspenSGX love it! Videopolis is exactly where i pictured soarin too. Disneyland paris doesnt need another roller coaster. Dated launched vekomas all over the place. They really need dark rides and youve named plenty of those. Very much agree with your thoughts. Guardians is fun but not necessary to replace tower of terror. I love spooky and paranormal theme park rides.
They can change the name 100 times, it still stays a half day park with a strange combination of themes and rides. A tea cup ride and a frozen copy (under construction for almost 6 years) won't change that...
Im so happy fantasy springs in Tokyo disney is going for art noveau instead of a more modern art direction other Disney parks seem to be going for some years now
I'm sorry, that whole announcement of Avengers Campus's upcoming new "activation" reads like it was written in AI.
... They could've just gone with Disney CinéMagique Park, it was staring them _right in the face!_ 😬
I want Paw Patrol World around Adventure Bay!
Until they get that last land, be it Lion King or something else exclusive to that park, there’s not a huge incentive to go. Like you said, there’s already too much Frozen. I’ve ridden the ride in Epcot, I’m good. Seeing the caste would be nice but the ride isn’t a must do attraction. The rest of the park isn’t too spectacular either, with main priorities just being Crush’s Coaster and Cars Road Trip. So I’m really waiting to hear about this last land.
I can't believe you wrote that Cars Road Trip is a priority attraction at WDS. It's a tram ride with a couple of static Cars figures and a redone Catastrophy Canyon. Crush maybe, even if it's just a fair ground spinner coaster with some theming. (I'm not kidding about the fair ground, this model actually does tour around.)
For Europeans the Frozen land is an incentive to go to DLP. Most people won't hop on a plane for a theme park visit, but may drive to DLP.
I mean the incentive is for the people in Europe. Idk why in the US there's that costant thinking that every decision is to attract them. No, DisneyLand Paris if for europeans.
@@EspenSGXI want to see Catastrophe Canyon. Other than that I don’t really care
@@ricln5464Oh I’m sorry I guess I’ll never book a trip to your country and spend money in your park ✌🏻 Haha it’s your own missed opportunities I don’t pity you
Being a fan of the brand you should want to encourage individually exclusive lands that encourage more international travelers. You’re so caught up in your jealousy of the power in American tourism, get over it.
Watch them build a cars land to disney adventure world to make it like california adventure.
I'll believe it all when I see it. And since I'll never be able to afford to go to Europe...I'll never believe it.
Hey friend! Hope you may come one day!
Disney studios Paris? Simple…easy…
BRO nothing will be done....
This feels like a rushed attempt at an Epic Universe style hub (Adventure World/Premiere/Whatever) leading to the new land/lands.
I hope they do a new Frozen boat ride and not just a rehash of the HKDL and Epcot versions. However, making something new would cost a little bit more in the imagineering department, so I expect it will be another clone.
I expect the Tangled attraction at TDS will blow you away, whereas the DAW version is a teacup ride. So predictable.
Where's the section of the park dedicated to painstakingly recreating the critical/box office darling Strange World?
I think there should be a theme park in Italy
Dom looks so cute!
I feel kinda bad for tangled it is one of disney best movies especially recently and in the parks they only have bathrooms and in europe where the fairytale is from they will receive a teacup ride reskin i really hope disney fantasy springs delivers the amazing attraction the movie actually deserves
Not sold on the Lion King flume concept. And the Alice show sounds like a cheap thing to hold over attention until something major replaces it.
Why not re-theme the Cars flat ride to Coco, or something? (There are two Cars rides in the same park, but not grouped together). Or expand Marvel with a Thor Beer Garden towards the lake? Etc.
Ah, well I have heard rumours that the remaining pointless section of the tram tour which is that second cars attraction is only temporary until the lake opens.
So it's...basically Epic Universe, complete with the very generic name? I'd insert the usual "over-reliance on IP" comment here, but part of the trouble is really just copying Universal's formula when Disney should be doing its own thing. Still, I suppose just about any action done on a park with that many issues is a positive, but like so many other projects Disney's done lately the question will linger whether it goes as far as it can go, and whether it'll all really add capacity in a significant way.
It"s the yang of Disney's California Adventure rebranding for 2012. It's so poor and in late of 12 years.
While this park needed and update I very much agree that there is a lack of imagination or they simply don’t really care as it’s shown with their lack of creativity when changing the parks theme it’s not the name but why should we be hyped for the frozen land when there are already existing ones
If Disney would have gone with an Idea that really sparked imagination and immersion they could’ve gone bigger than animal kingdom bringing in more guests this is just my opinion though but seriously what’s going with modern Disney
Yet it’s still movie and studio themed?
I still refuse to believe that they aren't building Star Wars
Disney Cinemagic would of been a better name change instead of “Adventure World”. Also I really do hope that the next land/attraction being added to Adventure Bay is something unique and exciting.
0:44 Did someone remind you of Australia's Adventure World? LOL
the name is meh... Universal Studios Paris will be more exciting!
Universal Studios is moving most likely to England (near London, to be more precise), not Paris
I say ditch Avatar land and build long forgotten Glacier Bay right next to World of Frozen
Please!
Go back to MGM Studios and make a Stargate.
That now would mean making a deal with Amazon, which seems very unlikely. That could have been great, though. I agree.
It's almost like this is a park designed for kids...
Who cares about IPs that are over a decade old? Frozen would have been cool when it was relevant 13 years ago… but now?? Disney has really lost its “original magic…” take a note from Universal, Disney…
The people in this comment section saying the name is generic as if that is not literally the point is actually concerning
I don’t understand why they call it the worst Disney park Disneyland Paris is an amazing park we have been 16 times and it’s great that they are adding new things so please stop being negative about Disneyland Paris you and your families will have a great exciting time. Well done DLP for adding new things and we can’t wait to go again next Easter.
You can definitely have a great time at Disneyland Paris, but we've got to be honest here. This Disney resort has some serious issues.
- Disneyland Park won't have had an additional ride (so a brand new ride and not a retheme) for 30 years in 2025!
- Upkeep at the parks is lacking. For example, the castle has been refurbished but leaks everywhere when it rains, causing serious damage, and the Toon Studios meet-and-greet wall almost immediately started to wear down.
- Walt Disney Studios will only have gained one major ride and one flat ride when the lake and Frozen area opens. A pitiful development rate when compared to the competition in Europe and a nightmare for capacity.
- Talking about the competition, DLP has the highest ticket price of any European theme park, yet other parks offer more and of the same quality for lower prices. (DLP asks more than double than what the Efteling asks for a day ticket, for example.)
First Park : Disney land paris
Second: Disney land paris West
Third future park : Disney land paris East
seems more reminescent of epcot than california adventure to me. im excited for it
3:36 That's what you get when you let A.I. write one of your scripts
Or a slip up.
Disneyland Paris continues to be given the cheap treatment by the Disney company. Even when they spend billions on expanding the parks, they can't even give the resort new rides. It's honestly sad.
things have been going downhill since they forced Star Wars Land upon the OG park imo
I say they are copying my name ahahaha. I am the Imagineer of Metaverse Adventures Theme Park.
Disney please don’t change the name to Walt Disney Studios to Adventure World. It’s like changing Paris to Pluto! The Magic Kingdom already has an Adventure Land. Focus on improving the theme parks with new rides and attractions instead of changing the name! And if anything make a 3rd park and call it Disney Dream.😊✨🥂
What a dumb name for the park,sad they didn’t push the hollywood retro theme by reworking the plaza into a buena vista street to work with the hollywood tower, they could have created a wonderful cinema facade on one of those studio buildings and add the “ mickey runaway train” there. Although sick of frozen, it would have been amazing to place it in the back of Disneyland fantasyland.HATE the tacky Alice in wonderland art direction. I wanted to see Mary Blair colors,graphics and foliage and not this BMX videogame crap. The costumes look like they were designed by a hairdresser on crack.😂
They could’ve called it Parc Deux and called it a day.
This is indisputably the worst Disney park (arguably the only truly bad park they've ever made) so the update and refresh is a great idea, but I'm not sure I could come up with a worse name than Disney Adventure World if I tried. It sounds like a fifth tier local amusement park on its last legs.
It’s a bit naff, so at least when it comes to Disneyland Paris’s second gate it’s consistent 🤷🏻♂️
The name sounds like a generic Universal park....or even worse a Six Flags park. They should have called it Disney Paris Adventure Park like Disney California Adventure Park. It's brand consistent and it still has the emotional connection to Paris. Statements like "world" are so American. Just like when they called it Euro Disney and it didn't resonate with Europeans, this name isn't European either.
NOT arguably their worst themepark. I would go to DCA 1,000 times before going back to 'Walt Disney Studios' as it was
The majority of visitors to the Disney parks in Paris do not care at all what they will do with the Studios. The only thing that matters to them to say to their children is, "We're going to Disney." And for many here in Europe it is also a visit that they make once in their lives, because they then realize that they have paid a lot of money for a visit to a large store with an attraction here and there. Fortunately, every year there are new children who drive their parents crazy with the question: when are we going to Disney?
I think disneyland paris is trying to be like disneyland resort a little to much.
Dom lookin real cute lately 👀
This doesn't excite me at all Disney has done very little with walt Disney studios for years now the potential universal studios great Britain has obviously lit a fire under Disney but this doesn't seem like enough imo
This is your call to stock up on Walt Disney Studios merchandise and hold!
Tlk? Cool! But how is The Hollywood Tower Hotel gonna fit? If they defile it with Marvel I'm gonna be pissed lol. Also why the Hell is Disney so obsessed with post-modern? Like tbh its miserable and looks like a glorified hospital, also I hope that the area around it has a more consistent theme, it's just kinda there, like, ugh, such a beautifully themed ride in a not-so-well-themed area.
The name-change makes no sense!!!!
Run don’t walk Disney, revise the new park name. Disney Adventure World is really bad.
Great recap of the news release and I agree with your views from the announcement. I’ve heard the rumours on the Lion King water ride from several sources. There is no doubt that the Lion King is a loved IP for Disney, but think it will be another misstep if they don’t follow through with creating a Galaxy Edge. Star Wars is huge IP for Disney and they need to exploit this franchise, which currently is massively underrepresented in the two parks. I’ve also heard the rumour they will put either Rise of The Resistance or Smugglers Run next to Star Tours. That could resolve the issue, but I still think a dedicated area would draw a larger audience to warrant a trip to the parks.
“Star Wars” is not popular in Europe, and Disneyland Paris needs a water ride. Better to eventually put a new Pandora in Paris, than a Galaxy’s Edge.
if they can't do themed worlds as good as phantasialand and europa park can then they aren't gonna pull any more of the European visitors in than they already do, even with the disney name. Why would people go out of their way to visit a park that even after a refurbishment can't keep up with the german parks
This sounds like epic universe, but with movie theatre asthetic.
Disney Universe ❤
embarrassing for Disney though
Look any change to this park is good, but that name is an absolute stinker. Naming by committee is always bad. But this dilutes some of their existing branding. Then to just call everything Adventure. Time to pop over to adventure world, and pop down adventure way to adventure bay and then visit adventure land. Oh wait no.
8:51 AWESOME
Yeah they all have lost all their charm
the name is dumb
ohh you're cute
