Disney has announced plans to bring Guardians of the Galaxy to Epcot in the form of a new attraction, while also bringing Pixar’s Ratatouille to the park, with a ride based on the version at Disneyland Paris. Disney is also developing a restaurant for Epcot, which will simulate dining in outer space for a starlit experience. “We know our guests love dining at Epcot – and the restaurants really are out of this world,” said Walt Disney Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald, speaking at D23. “Now we’re about to create one that takes that literally.”
And finally A Tron rollercoaster is coming to Magic Kingdom in Florida. There are also plans for a live show theatre on Main Street, based on the 1920s Willis Wood theatre in Kansas City, where Walt Disney once lived. Disney’s fleet of cruise liners is also expanding, with three new ships being built. With two ships currently under construction at the Meyer Werft shipyard, an additional ship will be built and is scheduled to be completed in 2022. ©Cybertrek 2017 AM 3 2017
