A tour of Walt Disney Studios in Paris Pt.2

by Mark Eades

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!

One of the office buildings at Walt Disney Studios Park at Paris Disneyland.

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 Sorcerer’s Apprentice hat.

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.

The wall of Dominos in the Pixar area

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.

Rex with Donna

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.

RC Racers means Radio Controlled Racers and is based on the PIXAR Cars movie.

Most of the rides in the PIXAR area are rethemed off-the-shelf rides and so is this one.

The Green Army Men Parachute Trainer

Again, this is a rethemed off-the-shelf ride themed to the Green Army Men from the “Toy Story” movies.

Slinky Dog ride

The Slink Dog attraction is a twirl-a-whirl type of ride, again a rethemed off-the-shelf ride system.

Tower of Terror

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.

Entry into the Tower of Terror.

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.

The hotel lobby of the Hollywood Hotel “Tower of Terror.”

This looks a bit more like it doesn’t it?

The preshow for the Tower of Terror

This is a lot like the other Tower of Terror. Rod Serling appears on the television screen and sets up the story.

One of the broken elevators in the Tower of Terror

This is not one that is used, but is themed well. This is actually what is seen after “doing the drop.”

The Tower of Terror ride shot.

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.
