  • Disneyland Paris Media Expo & Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

    Today we look back at the closure of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and then the announcements made today by Disneyland Paris.

    “Hi everyone, we are very proud to have the Aerosmith Group working on our studios today.” Since September 1, 8 p.m., visitors to Walt Disney Studios have been orphaned by this legendary and iconic attraction of the park since it opened in 2002.

    The final closure of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith marks a turning point in the park’s history and also for fans.  As one of the park’s first attractions, it was one of the park’s three icons, opening with “Studio Tram Tour Behind the Magic” and “Engine… action! Stunt Show Spectacular.” At the same time, this Coaster has been the most extreme attraction of the entire Disneyland Paris destination throughout its opening period. This label has also made known this attraction in the world of Coaster fans.

    Following this closure, here are some photos and videos mixing the 4 trains present on the last opening day of this Mythical Coaster but already gone.

    Finally, here is some visual and sound element broadcast during the queue line.

    And now? The only alternative for this type of coaster is Space Mountain in Disneyland Park and to a lesser extent Indiana Jones which will reopen its renovation in December 2019.

    What about Rock? The attraction will be closed until at least mid 2020. But more generally the Coaster under its new Iron Man theme should open with the Spider-Man attraction in 2021 in a “land” Backlot Transformed into “Avenger Campus” (Marvel).

    Disneyland Paris Media Expo

    One can note for the “Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel.” This hotel celebrating 80 years of Marvel storytelling in a typical New York atmosphere is recognizable by its contemporary Art Deco style.

    When it reopens in the summer of 2020, it will be the first hotel entirely dedicated to Marvel Art, it will also be one of the largest collections of Marvel works in the world, with more than 300 unique pieces on display, some totally unpublished and exclusive .

    This unprecedented renovation will also include a redevelopment and modernization of the entire rooms, reflecting the sophisticated urban style of Tony Stark’s tastes. All rooms (including the 471 Superior Rooms) will feature several Marvel works and the 65 Empire State Club Rooms will feature a design that will surely delight Marvel fans.

    Back to Walt Disney Studios Park !

    First preview for Studio D, a new interactive show with Mickey and his friends

    At Walt Disney Studios Park, a brand new interactive show will welcome children and their parents in Spring 2020 with Mickey, Minnie and their Friends from Disney Junior at Studio D. In this new experience, the little ones will dance and sing alongside their characters.

    On September 28th, thrill-loving visitors will discover three new experiences at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – A New Dimension of Sensations!

    The three new scenarios feature the famous little girl, one of three elevator passengers who disappeared when the Hollywood Tower Hotel was struck by lightning in 1939, and now haunts the attraction. From September 28, this little girl becomes the key character in three new experiences more terrifying than ever. The Infernal Machine, Cage Creatures and The Fifth Dimension immerse you in sinister and confusing worlds:

    Stay alert, because the ghost of the little girl who haunts the place may not be your worst nightmare… The Infernal Machine in which you have just settled has a very specific idea in mind. She aspires to trap you in this mechanical prison, shaking you in every direction. Hold on tight, the fall doesn’t prevent! Can you free yourself from its grip?

    A word of advice, especially don’t yell! Disturbing creatures prowl around the elevator shaft and wait for the presence of souls in distress to come and terrorize – because the louder your cries, the more powerful they become… Can you stay silent during your dizzying 13-storey falls?

    Watch out… Don’t get lost in this dimension! A sinister Poltergeist spectrum has opened the Fifth Dimension with one goal: to take your soul there. Prepare to lose all sense of reality as you tumble on a psychedelic journey between two worlds… Will the little ghost girl be able to bring you back to our dimension?

    A new theme area dedicated to frozen will welcome visitors as part of the expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park. As soon as they enter the Park, they will be able to see the snow-covered mountain of Arendelle in the distance facing an imposing lake. They will then be able to discover the architecture of the castle and its Norwegian-inspired kingdom.

    A whole immersive universe in the heart of Arendelle awaits visitors, with an attraction that will transport them to the heart of the Kingdom but also shops and a restaurant, not to mention encounters with their favorite heroes.

    On this concept art unveiled today, you can see the absence of a Family Coaster that will be present on this same land, in development at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.

    Hong Kong 

    To stay in the frosty theme, from January 11 to May 3, 2020, Disneyland Paris will propose to live an enchanted family trip with a brand new appointment: Frozen Celebration.

    A brand new fairy-tale chariot will bring to life all the magic of nature in front of visitors! On the Side of Walt Disney Studios Park, a brand new interactive adventure will open its doors to Animation Celebration: ‘Frozen: A Musical Invitation’. Visitors will then be transported to the kingdom of Arendelle, where they will be invited to play and interact with their favorite characters.

    New Float

    Visitors will also have the opportunity to extend the ‘Frozen’ experience in shops and restaurants, with exclusive treats and drinks, as well as a collection of products that will bring them back adventures of Anna, Elsa and their friends.

    The Pride evening celebrating diversity will be back on June 6, 2020!

    Ursula arrives at Disneyland Park for the Halloween season from September 28 to November 3!

    To resume

    We deplore the fact that Disneyland Paris is not taking advantage of the Disney fan event D23 Expo two weeks earlier, to announce these new and art concepts. Synergy is not yet in order at Disneyland Paris, as is the announcement of dates of its new products, most of which have been announced for almost two years.

    Thank you for your loyalty.
    See ya real soon !
