Ratatouille Ride Coming to Epcot? CONFIRMED


Recommended Posts

How stupid. Did all the Disney execs and imagineieers come through the world gateway entrance and not the main one?  Future world is in desperate, desperate need of upgrade or something added. The innovation buildings, the figment ride and the land need to almost be leveled and reimagined.  The world showcase is good already.  Oh, and how about the concrete pile they called the Odyssey restaurant or they decaying horizons pavilion.

But you have to look at it from a bean counters point of view.  World Showcase is a $$$$ maker with all the various festivals, now almost year round.  Drunks and foodies spend the big $$$ over there.  There is what, 1 or 2 stands in Future World that cash in on the festivals.  The majority of the action is around the lake.

Is it right, heck no, but when has the right way been done lately?

Here is the information from the Walt Disney World Blog

Epcot fans, rejoice! Plans were just unveiled at the D23 Expo that the park will receive not one, but two new attractions inspired by popular films.

First, a “Guardians of the Galaxy”-inspired attraction will be added to Future World, adhering to the original vision of Epcot’s Future World as the place to experience the excitement and adventure offered by space travel.

This is an addition we’re really looking forward to, as a “Guardians of the Galaxy” attraction – Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! – debuted at Disney California Adventure park earlier this year to rave reviews from guests. Epcot’s brand new E-ticket attraction will be based on the rockin’ and action-packed world of “Guardians of the Galaxy” and is the next step in how guests can encounter these characters at the Walt Disney World Resort. Epcot just may be the perfect place for a “Guardians”-inspired attraction as you can see in the photo above – Peter Quill (aka Star Lord) actually visited Epcot as a kid! (Note: This new attraction will replace the current Universe of Energy attraction, which will close August 13, 2017).

Second, a Disney•Pixar’s “Ratatouille”-inspired attraction will also be added to the France Pavilion in World Showcase. The attraction will expand the pavilion. Similar to the 4-D attraction Ratatouille: The Adventure that opened at the Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris in 2014, guests will be able to shrink to Remy’s size and scurry to safety in a dazzling chase across a kitchen with the sights, sounds and smells of Gusteau’s legendary Parisian restaurant.

According to Disney leaders, both attractions will open in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort in 2021.

Please keep your eye on the Disney Parks Blog for updates as these attractions progress.

Not corroborated by Disney yet, but rumored open date per WDW News Today...

With all of the attractions announced at the D23 Expo 2017, we were not given any actual opening timelines or dates other than “before Walt Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021”. According to internal documents, the trackless Ratatouille ride in France at Epcot will be a bit ahead of that October 1st, 2021 date.
