The Truth About Disneyland Paris

It also needs Muppet Show...

Best 3-D show EVER...

I do not think that would happen as the whole thing would need to be translated into French and that would just not happen. Plus there are better 3-D shows now.

The Studio park is a lot better than when it opened.

I have done all the shows btw, but why do them again? The only one I do every visit is Cinimagic as its great.

They did it for the AWFUL HISTA did they not? It would require time to record to languages (German I think is another option they have on HISTA), but it wouldn't be as expensive as filming a French Soarin film...

I have also not done Philarmagic so cannot comment on that, but the Muppets one is awesome cos it's mainly the classic ones, it even has Sweetums in real-life <3

Surely the same could be said of the rides though? Why do we keep going back to the parks and what-not? I keep doing the Natilus attraction for example, which is very minimal but great for the immersive theming and atmosphere you get... Plus you can get out of the weather (rain or heat) for a while...

I do the shows mainly to take a break from the rides and walking, plus they are mostly enjoyable and entertaining...

Either way, it doesn't mean that the Studios needs epic expansion on it... It needs a lot more than (in my opinion) the 3/4 rides the Magic Kingdom only needs...
 
^Which is the reason I only go every other year :)

I tend to only go to DLP for the events like Xmas and Halloween so it's a bit different, I would never go there for the rides as they are not good.

The Muppet show had it's day in the USA parks thats for sure, just like the Shrunk one people just do not bother with them now over there. Yes it would be new in DLP but it's so old now and I have no idea if the Muppets are even big in France and Europe, they are not really in the UK anymore either.

Philarmagic is fantastic, yes not everyone will like it and it is not needed if Animagic stays. The 3-D is very good and the smells etc.

I think they need to work on the main park as well and leave the studio park for a while. There is so much more they could do with the main park. Add Toon Town for example, add more rides on the walk to Indie from BTM where there is just nothing.

Plus they need to open all the attractions all year not just peak times and weekends. On 4 visits I have only seen the Story Book ride open once and the car ride near Space Mountain.
 
I haven't seen Animagique, so can't comment on that. Stitch Live is ok. I'm going from the Hong Kong version, which I'm assuming is the same thing. Stitch on the screen talking to, and interacting with, the audience? Taking pictures etc.? It was very well done, yes, but once is definitely enough for that one.

I did see Cinemagique in Paris and thought it was dire. Martin Short? Martin **** ing Short? Has he EVER been relevant? You'd think Disney would have the finances to hire someone slightly higher up than the absolute bottom of the barrel. Even if you can ignore the fact that you're having to sit through a Martin Short "epic," it's dull, dull, dull.

It's only got one of the highest guest satisfaction rates of the whole resort...
 
What happens in Animaqgigiguee...?


I'm sure I've seen it, but can't for the life of me remember what the hell it IS.
 
When I saw Animagique, I was actually quite disappointed with it however, I may just have been expecting too much. I thought Philharmagic was much better and would be more suited there. Everyone has opinions though...
 
Oh. That.


That can go away. Shows how much I liked it, I did see it, seven months ago, and totally blanked it out.
 
Philarmagic is a truly great attraction but I think Animagique is better for DLP. They're lacking in good stage shows at the moment. If they ever consider adding Philarmagic they should do it in a new building.

Which goes to show what a low opinion people must have of the park in general. Thanks for proving my point: DLP is crap.

Hey, it's not that bad. It's got a high guest satisfaction - that means most people love it! In no way does it reflect the opinions of the public about the whole resort. Please don't write things like that again just to cause arguments.
 
^Well, if the show has one of the highest guest satisfaction ratings, it shows that the guests were less satisfied with the majority of the attractions. Hence, if that piece of crap show is among the "top" attractions, the general public seem to be in agreement that the rest of the attractions are, indeed, rubbish.

No no no - you're not understanding this. People love Cinemagique; it's one of the favourites! That doesn't mean they dislike everything else.

I love Cinemagique - it is one of my favourite attractions at DLP. I also love most of the other attractions - just not quite as much. That doesn't mean I dislike them. :wink:
 
^Nope. I don't think I'm the one misunderstanding the point being made.

Cinemagique is gash. If it's one of the top attractions, it just goes to show how poor the attractions are at DLP. Clearer?

Anyway, no point in continuing to throw this back and forth. DLP is the worst of the Disney resorts that I've been to, and I've been to all of them except California.

Hopefully something might happen to change my mind on that at some point in the future. However, the protestations of an obvious DLP fanboy won't be it.
 
^Or the GP just like it in general? Maybe the French enjoy a good romp through the ages of cinema?

Using the satisfaction results as an arguement is hard because what quantifies as a satisfying experience will naturally vary from person to person...

We all know the Studios are gash, there's no denying it overall, but it does have some half decent attractions... As does the Magic Kingdom park, with certainly the best BTM and Pirates, Phantom Manor being 10 degrees of awesome, and Space Mountain looking the best out of all of them...

All parks have their faults, but Cinemagique is a entertaining show that a lot of people do enjoy... There will always be those who don't, simple as, but for the time being you'll have to put up with it...

Certainly? Unless you've been on them all, saying that something is "certainly" the best can't be justified at all.

BTM? No. The dark sections are ok. That's it. It's a decent enough coaster, but it's not "certainly" the best of all of them. Personally, I preferred both Florida (though I was very young) and Tokyo's versions.

Pirates? You are joking? From the outside, yes, Paris's version is great. The ride itself? Shorter and lacking the atmosphere of the other versions. Not to mention the effects not being up to par.

Phantom Manor? Yes. I'll agree 100% with you on that one. It's probably the best thing in the park.

Space Mountain? Not a **** ing chance. I've bitched about that thing enough in the past. It's horrendously bad. Not only the worst of the Space Mountains, but one of the worst coasters ever built.
 
^Fair enough I have not been to the Eastern region parks, but have done both in America... However...

Paris' BTM is defo better than the American counterparts... Bigger, and longer...

As is Pirates... Mainly because the cave sequence is at the end and for me it makes the story flow a lot better... Plus, it's still the original form, not stupidly updated to involve the films... Yes the effects may not be up to par but the American ones DID get re-done recently, Paris' has not...

Is it really shorter? Double-checking this now through YouTube...

Notice I said the Space Mountain LOOKS the best... I didn't mention the ride itself at all... Surely the gold and blue is better than the plain white?
