It doesn't look bad so far in my opinion.

I think the theming of the ride in Florida is nicer, but the ride experience in Paris is better, because it is faster and smoother.
Originally Posted By Bolna I always thought that they had the identical layout? Well, at least I like the fact that the ride is not a total clone (even though Paris could need a little bit more decoration like Florida has). Same about the ToTs. I like both for different reasons and really find it difficult to pick a favourite.
Originally Posted By dagobert >>>I always thought that they had the identical layout?<<< Yes both have the same track layout, nevertheless the PAris version is a bit faster. The duration in Paris takes only 1:10 while in Florida it is 1:22. <a href="http://www.rcdb.com/560.htm" target="_blank">http://www.rcdb.com/560.htm</a> (DHS) <a href="http://www.rcdb.com/1444.htm" target="_blank">http://www.rcdb.com/1444.htm</a> (WDS)

Last year we rode RNRC three times in a row and always had the same soundtrack. All soundtrackers, the vehicles, feature different songs from Aerosmith, or am I wrong on that?

I'm not sure, but I remember an ego shooter and that's definitely not suitable for a Disney park.

So, I would say that even a meet & greet would be a great improvement!! ;-)

Originally Posted By u k fan dagobert, that's exactly what I was thinking when I mentioned Meet n Greets. I'm not sure if there would be enough queueing space though. How cool would it be to get a Living Character WALL:E in there?!!!
Originally Posted By dagobert If I remember correctly, the arcades are at the exit of Star Tours and that's why I prefer to see those characters there. In my opinion Wall-E fits better into WDS.
Originally Posted By u k fan Are those (Alpha and Beta) not the arcades in Videopolis, either side of the central entrance?!!!
Originally Posted By dagobert >>>I think WALL:E fits about as well as Buzz, Stitch and Star Wars do!!!<<< I just thought that since there are so many Pixar attractions in WDS, he would fit there better. In my opinion Buzz should be ripped out of Discoveryland and put into WDSP. I think he doesn't fit into Discoveryland at all.
Originally Posted By dagobert >>>Are those (Alpha and Beta) not the arcades in Videopolis, either side of the central entrance?!!!<<< I have to say I really don't know where they are located. I thought at the exit of Star Tours under the Train Station. But you could be right either.
