Walt Disney Studios RENAME & Space Mountain RETHEME? | Rumours 

Let's hope the rumours become reality and we get an announcement! The mining machine would truly be amazing!

Indeed!

Thank you! Will do!

That’s the ONE THING I really hope they do. That soundtrack is iconic, timeless and done specifically for this Space Mountain! Unfortunately I was never able to ride De La Terre a La Lune and boy would I love to have that music blasting in my hears.

It would be a great opportunity to pay homage to the best opening day part of that park!

Hey there! Hope you have an amazing time in DLP! Unfortunately I have no idea regarding possible closure or reopening dates…

With the newer trains I don’t think it needs a retrack, or at least as much as others in the park like BTM. Space Mountain is inside hidden from the elements and 5 years younger than BTM. It does, however, have a system that could use with a big upgrade, that is the launch catapult that requires the cable change every 5/6 months.

I’m a huge Star Wars fan and just can’t justify HyperSpace Mountain. It was meant to be a temporary thing with projections only and not many other effects. It makes no sense in the steampunk, Jules Verne themed dome with the Columbiad Cannon on the side. Rumours suggest a full on Star Wars land is being developed for Paris, this would be the best case scenario!

If a new mission inspired by SEA and/ or Jules Verne, I think that’s a given as the whole thing is still in place! The De-Velo-Citor can still be seen in the breaking segment, just with the lights turned off.

#BringBackTheMoon

No word on that for now. I'm sure some of the media attending will be broadcasting it live!

Interesting. It wasn’t my idea, but someone I was talking to suggested it!

Oh that could be very fun! I love small details and Easter eggs, having Aya in Adventureland Treehouse is such a cool little thing! There are so many possibilities with SEA in Space Mountain, what if The American Gun Club could have some sort of partnership or even rivalry between SEA? So much could happen!

It makes total sense, although I'm somewhat scared of what Disney has been cooking for the new name.

I think you’re mixing some things together. Fantasy Springs is opening this year over at TOKYO Disney Sea, not Paris! This expansion of Walt Disney Studios is set to open sometime next year, most likely on the second half of the year, and with it will come the lake, Frozen land and new areas

@@themainstreetnews interesting i knew about tokyo but assumed it was a clone in paris but they both sound good ill head over there in 2025 while also avoiding the olympics which will raise prices for flights and hotels.

Not at all, Tokyo’s Fantasy Springs will open with 3 mini-lands! Of course, wait for Disney to announce an opening date or even part of the year! The “late 2025” is a mix of rumours, some facts and speculation!

The latest rumours suggest a retrack is in the works for around 2030. Long before that would come a new theme!

@@themainstreetnews ah ok had no idea, thanks for the reply! Any idea who is the manufacturer for the new track? CSM? Vekoma? Or someone else?

@@NathanHydra no idea on that, according rumours, the retrack is being considered for that time, I don’t believe it’s gone too far from that yet. What is important to note, is that Tokyo’s new Space Mountain appears to be manufactured by Intamin, which would be a crazy twist! Intamin was considered for Paris’ back in the day but couldn’t deliver with the sizing restraints, maybe they can now!

@@themainstreetnews maybe they could, but lately apart from the Tokyo SM all Disney seems to build is vekoma

Indeed, that’s exactly why Tokyo’s SM being Intamin is such big news. It means they are now able to build in the same envelope Disney needs it. I would love to see an Intamin launched coaster retrack for Paris’ SM

Nothing has been said so far.

Obrigado! Ainda nada de novo no Porto Boega… O terceiro parque para Paris, isso é mais complicado! Já viste o meu vídeo sobre o tópico? 😉

@@themainstreetnews hehe sim eu vi depois que comentei,bom se for assim vai demorar muito,mas creio que eles têm que reforçar primeiro o segundo parque hehe

O terceiro parque só vai aparecer nos 2030s, até lá temos muito para aproveitar nos outros dois! Rei Leão a Star Wars, tenho a certeza que não vamos estar aborrecidos 😉

@@themainstreetnews eu acredito que no segundo parque tem muito potencial para fazerem grandes coisas,em relação ao rei leão e star wars que sou muito fã,eles fariam no segundo ou no parque principal?

@@MARK99027 Esta expansão com o lago vai trazer exatamente isso, incrível espaço para expandir no futuro. Segundo os rumores, uma land do Rei Leão acompanhará o Frozen no lado esquerdo do lago do Studios. A land de Star Wars será para o parque Disneyland, atrás da Discoveryland. Diz-se que o anúncio do Rei Leão será este verão durante a D23!

Not necessarily haha. I would say that, seeing a big part of the event will be the concert, it’s possible that is referencing the classic movie’s soundtrack rather than a new attraction or show, would love to be surprised!

Disney Epic Universe? 😉😂

@@themainstreetnews 😂

I was so excited to show my son the giant squid and surprise him with it. And then was super disappointed when it was just footage instead.

Indeed, the “update” to the Nautilus didn’t have the SEA subtheme it deserved, but does it need to? We know Captain Nemo was a friend of/ member of SEA so in a way, his Nautilus being docked in Discoveryland still plays an important role in the story!

@@themainstreetnews Actually, I do think the Nautilus should have received the SEA subtheme. Because now only a small part of the fans knows about SEA, but almost nobody of the regular mainstream audience has ever heard about it. The more they use SEA in a visible way (in stead of just being implied), the more people are aware of it. And such a cool concept / subtheme (that is NOT a franchise !!!) deserves the best treatment and maximum exposure. Now the Nautilus just looks like a retro futuristic National Geographic attraction. Even the head of Captain Nemo was removed from the iconic organ. Such a shame they wasted a unique opportunity. Let's hope they don't do this twice when they bring back the moon in Space Mountain.

Oh I agree with you, I totally think the Nautilus should have a stronger connection with SEA!

I would say Disney wants to get rid of the name “Studios”, mostly because it no longer has anything to do with behind the scenes and studios! Many thanks!

Yes, true. You say it in the video… sorry. Your propositions are great, especially the second one. Anyway, I hope Disney will give to this park an original and wonderful name to write a new chapter of this park’s story. Something both new and promising a journey into Disney’s magic universes. Have a great day !

No need to be sorry! Disney's Magical Studios could work, especially since a lot of The Walt Disney Company's Studios will be represented with Marvel, Pixar, Disney Animation and maybe in the future Fox! This will be a new era for the park, and I can't wait to live it!

Don’t forget the park’s tagline: Get a free month of Disney+ with each visit!

@@themainstreetnews Disney ++ Star

But not all Disney in that park there is also Pixar and Marvel Studio's.🤷🏼‍♂️

Definitely don’t expect anything of that nature. I don’t think it has to mean anything new in particular, especially since it could just be a part of the concert during April 12… Sorry to disappoint

Been quiet on that front, we’ll see how it develops!

the sooner they close it the better

Be thankful they are still getting something

@@jackdr20roblox29 2 rides.... one clone and one theecups .... thx disney...for ruining the theme of the OG park and replacing it with okay IP based rides

Studios doesn’t have a problem with the amount of rides but rather the quality of these. The biggest problem, however, is there isn’t space. This expansion will change that, with the amazing promenade and lake with entertainment and just space to relax and enjoy your time, something impossible in WDS.

@@themainstreetnewsexactly

It will create more space to expand to but i just wish they could keep the origional theme and anounce some more rides

It went from a field with a dug out lake to a huge construction zone with many buildings, theming and ride systems installed. Disneyland was built in 1955 when construction didn't have a third of the bureaucracy, safety requirements and so, so much more. Could they be faster? Yes, but it's not fair to compare it with Disneyland.

Brasileiro não sei, mas não é único que fala português 😉

Walt Disney Studios is the name of the park in Paris haha. That's one of the problems with the name!

Many thanks! Hard to find much immersion in the Studios park, not impossible, but not easy either!

@@themainstreetnews Very true! 😆
