Paris, Wednesday, 27 August 2025.
Disneyland Paris announced last Monday that Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy will close in October 2025 for a major renovation, reopening in spring 2026. The most notable change: the ride will permanently drop 3D in favour of upgraded 2D projection as projectors are replaced, a shift made after guest feedback. Expect a new artist‑studio queue scene, larger‑than‑life props, refreshed media and updated ride systems aimed at improving immersion, reliability and throughput. For retail and park operators this signals continued investment in IP‑led dark rides in a constrained capex environment — a mid‑life refresh that prioritises targeted technical upgrades over replacement. Short‑term capacity loss will require operational adjustments across the resort, but offers opportunities to pilot AV, projection mapping and vehicle maintenance protocols that could set a regional benchmark. Close coordination between operations, merchandising and guest flow planning will be critical to mitigate revenue and satisfaction impacts during the closure.
