It was announced today that Disneyland Paris will see a major refurbishment of many of its popular attractions. The plan is refurbish 10 of its most popular attractions which includes Star Tours, Space Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean. The project is expected to take two years.
Some of the refurbishments will include Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain finale added to its Paris version, new ride vehicles on Space Mountain, new lighting and dolls in 'it's a small world', and a brand new show for Animagique. A video was released with details on what will be done to each of the 10 attractions. Here is the video:
Disneyland Paris was once considered to be a gem in Disney's Magic Kingdom's but has taken a hit in attendance in recent years. Its companion park Walt Disney Studios has failed to bring in attendance even after the hit Ratatouille ride and restaurant opened last year. Park guests have complained about the condition of the attractions causing a dip of almost 5% as attendance dipped to below 10 million guests. Theme Park Insider first reported the refurbishment plans for Disneyland Paris.
