2012 - Star Tours 2 - Rumor - (8/3/09) Could the Star Tours 2 project be ready for 2012 in Paris? Disney and More indicates that it could be a good bet, as that will also be the year that the park will celebrate it’s 20th anniversary.

2013/2014 - Little Mermaid - Rumor - (5/29/09) An Interview with Tony Baxter about the Little Mermaid ride that was once planned for Disneyland Paris can be seen posted to the Disney and More Blog, which also shows off quit a bit of concept artwork. According to the article, once the new Little Mermaid ride opens in California, it seems very likely that it could arrive in Paris shortly after.
    (8/22/08) We know Florida is already eyeballing the new Little Mermaid ride going into California Adventure to make their own copy and apparently Disneyland Paris is also keeping a close eye on the proejct as well.

???? - Grizzly River Run - Concept Only - (4/22/09) While I haven’t heard anything about this plan being put into action, a piece of concept artwork showing off a copy of DCA’s Grizzly River Run attraction in Frontierland, placed on the site once earmarked for Splash Mountain, has been posted to the PhotosMagiques forum. Personally I would be surprised to see this ride come instead of something more like Splash Mountain. While GRR is a fun ride, the cooler weather in France has been one of the main reasons the park never got Splash Mountain in the first place, and you would get far more wet on GRR.

    (5/16/09) It seems someone has leaked a copy of the new Toy Story Land plans for Walt Disney Studios Paris, showing off a new area with three new flat ride attractions. Thanks to NewsDLRP.com for the image and information about the rides, which they claim with feature a pair of Disk’O style half-pipe rides themed to the RC Racer car, a themed kid friendly parachute drop which I assume will similar to the Jumpin Jellyfish ride at California Adventure but with a Green Army Men theme. The final ride in the center of the layout will be a Slinky Dog themed Music Express style flat ride.
    (5/14/09) We’ve been told by our friends at WDSFans that Disney/Pixar’s John Lasseter was speaking to reporters at the Cannes film festival that a new Toy Story land with three attractions should be ready to open at Walt Disney Studios Paris by sometime in 2010.

    (1/15/09) Screamscape has been told some new details about the Toy Story Playland project from our friends at WDSfans. This is the working name for the Toon Studio expansion project and right now the design features three Toy Story themed attractions: a mini parachute drop tower themed to the Green Army Men, a half-pipe coaster ride themed to RC Racer and a music-express style flat-ride themed to Slinky Dog. “There will be photo locations as well as lots of references to other toys from the Toy Story movies and even the famous Pixar Ball will be a giant prop among the rides.” The new land will go into the grassy area behind the Art of Disney Animation building, taking up some of the current tram road space as well.
    (8/22/08) A couple of attraction ideas have been proposed for this general area for 2010 to make a Toy Story themed mini-land full of about four or five kiddie rides, similar in concept to the A Bug’s Land at California Adventure. The tour however will have to be altered to accommodate these new additions. If these plans are approved, older plans to try and bring more film based attractions like Soarin and Philharmagic to the park previously proposed will be dropped

2012 - Ratatouille - Rumor - (8/3/09) According to the latest news post from the Disney and More, Walt Disney Studios Paris are said to have given final approval for the park to build a major E-Ticket ride for 2012 based on Ratatouille. From the description, this will be a giant dark ride experience that will make guests feel like they are the size of a rat running through gigantic environments, such as Gusteau’s restaurant kitchen. They also expect this ride to see the same trackless vehicle system put to use on the Pooh ride in Tokyo and on the way for the new Mystic Manor in Hong Kong.
    8/22/08) In 2012 the park would like to have a new dark ride that would use the same track-less ride system used previously on Tokyo’s Pooh ride. The rides would be themed to the film Ratatouille and placed in the empty space behind the Magic of Disney Animation building and could open by 2012.
