So, LEGO store sneak peak time. It's an impressively massive space that's quality as hell. So much to look at and when the park surrounds it with its new Food & Bev offerings (still in construction) it should be a great little addition to the park. Honestly no complaints here. Looks nice, presents well, good stuff. If you want to see more photos, there's a few more here, but the key ones are below.

I'll let you know when I minifigure it out.

From DW's LEGO Store webpage:

To go a bit further on Adam C's post, Disney Paris does have a train station - which is also serviced by the extremely fast TGV. We flew into Charles de Gaulle airport and the TGV gets you from there to the park gates in 10 minutes.

Great photos as always @Slick. It really does look great inside. And I must say, I know a few of us were hesitant/sad when they started to remove the old market place, which was a key part of the park, but honestly now saying the store completed, I so happy they put the store here. I actually think it looks really good at the front of the park (and I don't think it is an eye sore). Massive congrats to DW for pulling this one off, and can't wait for the opening of the 2 new stores.

Giant Drop now open! Wipeout to go

I think this is taking the point a little too analytical. By that nature - i could argue that Wild West Falls isn't very well themed, as the ride itself is simply a bare concrete channel, with rubber conveyor belts, and some 'wooden' themed boats. EVERYTHING ELSE that makes that ride is just part of the themed area. Space Mountain, without the lights, wouldn't be very spacey. Sure - there is an area around doomsday that isn't 'the ride itself' but separate experiences - but come on, how much do you expect to be 'part of the ride itself' when its a stock flat ride? For me, i think they've done a fantastic job of theming 'the ride itself' as much as they can - every inch of that ride is tied into the overall look. Every other flat ride in our parks pretty well meets the same definitions - you can't count wipeout's surfboards, the giant wave, the pool underneath it, the sand around it - all you can count is a bit of fibreglass waves above your head...

Surfrider for me, no contest there.

^I think that DD is well themed. The rides structure may just have the print on it, and the 'bones' sticking out of the arms. But the queue line area is well done, with the rides sign, Doomsday on top. Even the stair wells that lead to underneath the platform are themed to look like they lead to the underground train system.

Scarred for life...

If it's good enough for the President of the United States it's good enough for people on a Theme Park forum.

A lot of the parents from my son's kindy are a little jealous of the things that are created in our household...
