So what are the possibilities? Again, this could depend on how you define a new attraction, but let’s throw Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic right out there straight away.Īn expanded Tram Tour, perhaps a new show scene, perhaps even a relocated station - allowing the park to begin that announced “multi-year expansion”, expanding the current Hollywood Boulevard - could all be strong possibilities come 2014. Now, presuming Mr Gas doesn’t count the adjoining restaurant or those desperately needed new toilets which should be installed next to Ratatouille, this gives us an odd surplus in the new attraction count for 2014. We will also build new hotels, restaurants and shops. We are looking at it very seriously, even if the decision won’t be made until 2020. In 2010, we also obtained the agreement of the State to build a third park.

In January, our banks have given us 150 million euros in new funding to build two new attractions, which should open in 2014 in our second park, Walt Disney Studios. So we still have room for improvement, but we must grow. Knowing that a customer is satisfied when they can see at least six attractions in a day, we estimate our maximum capacity to be 17 million visitors annually. But now, in an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Philippe Gas has let slip a surprising statement that Walt Disney Studios Park will see not one, but two new attractions opening within its gates in 2014. In the brief article headlined “Disneyland Paris ‘has learned from its mistakes'”, the resort president and CEO of Euro Disney SCA discusses the company’s tumultuous financial situation as it approaches its 20th Anniversary.Īsked as a final question “What will you do to avoid the park reaching saturation?”, he comments: We know Disneyland Paris has the money, we know they’ve finally started construction on the Ratatouille dark ride, and Brad Bird knows all about it, too. UPDATE: Disneyland Paris has confirmed Le Figaro’s transcription was inaccurate - only one new attraction is scheduled to open in 2014.
