What Do you VF'rs think about this? Could it be true? Is Disneyland Paris Ready for this kind of E-ticket? Do we need another Indy? Post your opinions here!

Yeah i know, but look at the pictures there, it looks like a new "area" or "land"

[ryguy222]

HA! New land?! Thats the ride Building. The building for Indiana jones is HUGE!!!!! Have you seen it? Its the one at DLR covered with faded painted on trees. Im sure they do have blueprints from before. They wanted Indy, but didn't know what to do. One group made the EMV attraction, another had a different idea, and made a reversed coaster. And the high up people decided to do something different and not clone ( which is un heard of! original ideas wow!) the same attraction. I can assure you that this most likely will not happen.

[Alex_Toto_Disneyland]

^ No No, Look well. In the first drawing they Show the ride and Temple du peril... in front of it. and next to the ride it's Pirates.

[California Dreamin']

That would be interesting.

[princesschloe777]

I don't know how I feel about this. I mean Indy in Paris? Well, if they did do I would hope they wouldn't copy DL's Indy.

[mrhappybomb]

^ I agree leave IJA and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye to Disneyland in Anaheim and Anaheim only.

[Alex_Toto_Disneyland]

^ Well, i'm agree with that, IJA should belong only to disneyland, but i think that Disneyland Paris needs this kind of Thrill Ride. It doesn't has to be EXACTLY indy, i think imagineers can come with better ideas.

[Big Disney Fan]

^ I agree leave IJA and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye to Disneyland in Anaheim and Anaheim only.

Well, technically, IJA is not limited to DL only; a variation on that ride has been put in Japan's TDS as the Temple of the Crystal Skull.

[mrhappybomb]

^ yea thats true but theres has a completely diffrent story than ours so I guess if DLP got one make it a diffrent story that Forbidden Eye and Crystal Skull

[Big Disney Fan]

^ yea thats true but theres has a completely diffrent story than ours so I guess if DLP got one make it a diffrent story that Forbidden Eye and Crystal Skull

Yeah, that's it. It would be the same ride structurally and thematically, but story-wise, it would be different.

[IndyJonesfan#1]

^ That can work. It'll be the ride with the most "spin-offs" for lack of a better term. But that is not at all a bad thing.

[Big Disney Fan]

Guys, you're still missing the point. THERE IS ALREADY AN INDY IN DLRP. Walt Disney Studios Paris has Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril! It wouldn't make any sense to put another Indy in the same resort. Just does not make sense.

-SPΛCE

Well, what if they TORE that ride out and replaced it? I think the Temple of Peril was a quick fix anyway.

[IndyJonesfan#1]

Agreed. Whole-heartedly

[Big Disney Fan]

Personally, for me myself, I would not want a movable simulator type ride over a roller coaster, and I think a lot of people would agree. Sure you may have people who are whole hearted simulator fans, but I'd take a roller coaster over those types of rides any day. I doubt that theyll tear out the Indy that is ALREADY THERE.

-SPΛCE

What if they built a "simulator" ride and redressed the existing Indy ride as Raging Spirits? It worked at TDS, didn't it?

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Having 2 Indy's didn't stop Tokyo DisneySea. They just didn't theme the roller coaster to Indy. :wink:

Exactly. And that's what they can do at DLP if need-be.

[CostaFreak]

^ Yes, it's true Disney can't make up most of the decisions for TDR, but that doesn't mean that Disney's not the one who comes up with the new attractions for it. The Imagineers still worked on TDS and the SM refurb under the OLC's rule right? So it's not 100% the OLC's decision of what happens there, but the OLC does approve or dissaprove future attractions though (probably the reason why it's not Pixarified to death).

Now, for DLP's Indy, I say no to the Forbidden Eye, being there's an Indy already in there. What I do say is they add a dark ride portion (which will mean more track between the station and the lift hill) to DLP's version, being it's a little bland and needs something.

You do know that DLP's version was the 1st Indy ride, right?

[Big Disney Fan]

And unlike Disney, OLC is not too cheap to go the extra distance to build an attraction.

[SplashMountain]

Disneyland has two Alice in Wonderland rides right next to each other, and they make sense. Originally, there was going to be a whole area in Disneyland devoted to Indy, as shown in "The Art Of Disneyland" book. It included the adventure ride, and a rollercoaster. So why not do it at DLRP

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Tokyo Disney is extremely overrated by what I hear.

If you ever actually go there, your view would change. To go to Tokyo DisneySea, is in Kevin Yee's words, "going to Theme Park Heaven."

There is NO overrating going on when it comes to talking about Tokyo Disney. But like with most things, complete understating is never gained without going and seeing with your own eyes.

True. Although the 2 rides are the same quote on quote Alice in Wonderland , but have a different feel. One takes you into Wonderland and the other one you are in the Teacups. I feel that there is an extreme difference in 2 Indy's in Paris than 2 Wonderlands in DLR. DLRP is already small as it is so it would br costly and a waste to use the small space for something that already exists. When time and cash would be well spent if they were creative and invented a new ride.

I know I'm probably gonna get in trouble for this, but what of Splash Mountain in Frontierland. I know it's not exactly original, but DLP doesn't have one and I think it desperately needs one.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Well even though you won't be getting a CM discount, attractions such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain (with ramp), Rocket Jets, and more themeing in TDS than in 1,000,000 DCA's are all definetly worth checking out.

As far as moving around in Tokyo, the trains actually make things really easy. Very efficient, very reliable, and no knowledge of japanese language required. Even the automated ticket machines are push-button bilingual! (Meaning push a button marked 'english' and all the on-screen menus become in english).

That being said, I'd say Paris is still worth checking out, even though Disney Studios Paris is generally regarded as worse than DCA.

When I went to Europe as part of an end-of-high-school trip, one of the stops was France and I managed to squeeze in a few hours at DLP. And let me tell you, it's not half bad.

I believe that their Studios park is getting some TLC of its own, like DCA.

You wouldn't get in trouble, at least not by me. I think that is a good idea. But I still do like in Critter Country, although they are super close so it probably wouldn't be to huge. But I think it fits perfectly in CC, but if Frontierland wanted to add another cool wet ride that would be nice as well.

Well, they put SM in Frontierland at WDW, didn't they? Of course, if worse comes to worse, they can always set some of Frontierland apart from the rest of FRL and redesign it as Critter Country and put SM in there and revive the old Indian Canoes for this area, too.

Okay, we're getting off-topic here.

[PeoplemoverMatt]

Let's see, spend over 2000 dollars for flight hotel alone for Journey, Space, pooh and tower, or spend 400 for space, test track, mission space, spaceship, rock n, tower,everest....... or spend about 1200 for space MISSION 2, tower, rock n, phantom, thunder? Idk, 2000+ for 3 rides just sounds like too much here.. anyways to get back onto topic, Changing names is possible, however, it just wouldn't make any sense for paris to put 2 indy's in one park.

With that logic, the only theme park you should EVER go to is Disneyland. Pay $0 for the most rides in any one park of any Disney Resort.

-- PMM :cool:

[PeoplemoverMatt]

The point I was trying to make is that there is far more to theme parks than a simple ride list. Where Tokyo Disney maxmizes most is those intangibles, and of course, its extreme quality. Quality found nowhere else in the world. That quality is expensive though, and that's why it costs a pretty penny to get there and to stay there.

Of course, bargains are to be had for those willing to look for them. Also, TDR parks still have a cheaper admission than any Disney USA theme park.

Tokyo Disneyland and especially DisneySea have an asthetic beauty that makes you wanna just fall over in disbelief. After that, the shows are umatched in any theme park resort anywhere. Finally, there are the rides.

So I guess if rides is the paramount concern, maybe Tokyo Disney should be avoided. Every customer has their own choice after all.

As for Indiana Jones-themed attractions, I don't think anyone would argue that Disneyland Paris' Indy has been surpassed by other Indy attractions at Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. I say if DLRP was smart, they'd build a new Indy similar to DL & TDS' Indy rides and convert the existing Temple of Peril to a Raging Spirits-type theme. Easier to do that, then build a Temple of the Crystal Skull-type ride, but with some other theme.

Let's get back on topic please... thanks!

Couldn't have said that better myself. I think that they should put in a IJA ride at DLP and revise the Temple of Peril as Raging Spirits. Saves money that way and it allows more to do, too.
