Now we get to check out the Pixar area and Tower of Terror at the Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris. Let’s get started. This is not a 2319!
This is another example of “what are we looking at?” The original park design was very low budget, and many of those buildings reflect that. I guess it is supposed to be themed like a movie studio, but so what? The newer areas like the Ratatouille area feel more like a theme park. This area does not at all.
The building with the Sorcerer’s Apprentice Hat outside the far building. Look at how the view of it is blocked by the boring landscaping.
This is an interesting design element. A wall of dominos. But it would have been better if they also had a bunch of the oversized dominos in the walkway so people would stop and have fun with them.
An easy and obvious photo op for guests. This is a good thing, but it would have been nice if there were more of them around.
Most of the rides in the PIXAR area are rethemed off-the-shelf rides and so is this one.
Again, this is a rethemed off-the-shelf ride themed to the Green Army Men from the “Toy Story” movies.
The Slink Dog attraction is a twirl-a-whirl type of ride, again a rethemed off-the-shelf ride system.
The Hollywood Tower of Terror attraction is similar to the others, but like the one that used to be at Disney California Adventure, it is not as long a ride as the original in Florida. At least the area around it as you approach has some theming.
Because of the inclement weather for a chunk of the year, the queue line is mostly indoors, and the queue line does have good theming.
This looks a bit more like it doesn’t it?
This is a lot like the other Tower of Terror. Rod Serling appears on the television screen and sets up the story.
This is not one that is used, but is themed well. This is actually what is seen after “doing the drop.”
Yes, I rode the French version of the Hollywood Hotel Tower of Terror, that is me with my hand up in the air and wearing the glasses on the right.
That concludes my tour of Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris.
