Once
Splash Mountain was planned for Frontierland. Due to the bad financial
results at Disneyland Paris’ early years the ride never made it to the park.
The space for the ride is still available. Another ride once considered for
this spot was Grizzly Mountain.
It has
been rumoured an E-ticket is being considered for this spot. As no rumours on
this one followed up it might be an invalid rumour.

Unknown night time show –
Rumoured
|
Expected: Unknown

|
The rivers of the far west are
not as busy as they used to. There is one keelboat in in the dock waiting,
but not in use for guests. The other one is backstage. The canoes retired,
and the Mark Twain is in a long wait for a very much needed rehab.
The rivers may come back to
live again at nights as there is whisper on a night time show at rivers of

Adventureland
Indiana
Jones Adventure E-ticket – Rumoured
|
Expected:
2024

This might be THE most anticipated ride of Disneyland Paris in all its
history. Going back to the early days it has been rumoured this ride would be
heading to an designated expansion spot at the back of Adventureland. There are
even maps of this ride circulating on the internet. There also is still a
parkmap at City Hall with this ‘future expansion’ on it. The expansion area is
still available. Just behind the coaster Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril.

|
Expected:
Unknown
|
|
Once Tony
Baxter had a vision of multiple rides interacting with each other in an
Indiana Jones immersive land. There is even concept art where you can see the
Enhanced Moving Vehicle (EMV) ride, the Jungle Cruise, Disneyland Railroad
and a mine train style rollercoaster. Due to budget cuts this has never been fully
realized in Disneyland Anaheim. Disneyland Anaheim and Tokyo Disneyland
received the EMV rides, while Disneyland Park received the mine train
rollercoaster; Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril. This was supposed to be a
temporarily infill ride due to the capacity problems of the park in the early
years. In fact; Disneyland Park originally was said to get two mine train
rollercoasters.
It has
been rumoured the popular temple is to be extended through the new adventure
temple, which would bring this miniland quite to the original concept.

It later became an Jungle Book branded counter service pizza restaurant.
Luckily, many of the original details where preserved. The Explorer’s Club
logo can be found throughout the establishment.
It was
announced at the InsidEars event the Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost would
close its doors and would be remodeled to a new theme. However, there seems a
slight delay as the work should already be started.
|
||
(Indiana Jones or) The society
of Explorers and adventurers (S.E.A.) theme.
S.E.A. is used throughout many

received our customs to Toon Town in Toon Studios at Walt Disney Studios
Park.
At Disney

Space Mountain theme
change – Rumoured
|
Expected: 2019
| |
Many fans are still hoping one
day Space Mountain – Terre de la Lune will return. The instant classic saved
the resort, and is being considered the best adaption of the ride. The iconic
building and soundtrack do bring back memories by many. After 10 years a new
mission was launched as a quick marketing fix to bring a new ride. A budget
was not available. It was not the success Disneyland Paris hoped for.
For the 25th
anniversary Space Mountain received a new theme. It almost was Terre de la
Lune, but it became Hyperspace Mountain after all.

Disney Village and hotel area
Disney Village shops and restaurants –
Rumoured
|
Expected: late
2019
|
|
The current state of Disney Village is not
good at all. It looks tired and dated. Many of the original theming and
features are long lost (or just backstage), and the new ones hardly give a
boost to the atmosphere. An extensive update like Disney Springs is needed
badly. At InsidEars it has been announced plans for an update were almost
finished and ready to be released. Until now, no new information has been
released. However, it is being rumoured the plans are ready to go.
Update: There would be some delay to update
the plan to better meet expectations of European customers.

the won’t have nighttime shows at the parks.
