Here we go for a new Ratatouille pictorial update thanks as always to Max Fan, D&M contributor and DLPWelcome webmaster. As you'll see almost everything is ready for the press event which will happen on June 21 - 22. But the most important change of the day is definitely the new sign now in place at the entrance of the ride. Almost everyone agreed that the first one looked terrible with the big and awful cooking pot and it has been replaced by this new one that you can see on the pictures above and below. Also below a before / after picture.
The new sign looks undeniably better, although i still find it a bit too big, personally. I'm not a big fan too of the blue color which is for me too strong in regards to the facades behind ( same for the Fast Pass signs ). I suppose that the park wants the entrance to be instantly identified by WDS guests and it might be a reason why they've kept this blue color which is coming from the original movie logo. Anyway, it's much better so let's not complain too much...
Before the arrival of the new sign...
Some close shots on the "Bistrot Chez Remy" restaurant and the "Chez Marianne, Souvenirs de Paris" boutique awnings.
There is two "streets" in the Ratatouille area, and they do have names.
More close shots on different signs and theming here and there...
The clock is in place but not yet on time...
The fountain at the center of the plaza is practically the only outside element which is not totally finished and will be anytime soon.
More views of the area...
The bicycle below are part of the theming, remembering the ones used by the characters in the animated movie.
And that's it for this new Ratatouille update.

It's looking extremely nice! Much better than the rest of this park for sure!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, both (old and new) entrance signs look terrible. A disgrace for an otherwise perfectly themed area!
ReplyDeleteThe problem is very simple, they want to keep the logo of the film as the logo of the ride. As long as they don't get that idea out of their head, the entrance sign will always look like a Las Vegas interpretation of Paris.
At least the restaurant sign looks gorgeous. Maybe they should have let that one inspire their creativity for the logo of the ride ...
