Update: the other shoe dropped for Disneyland Paris, the good news? It was a glass slipper from TWDC: http://bit.ly/1xVukOG

What is going on at Disneyland Paris? It’s the most popular theme park in Europe in terms of attendance, but it continually struggles with profitability. This year has been particularly rough. It lost its president Phillipe Gas to Shanghai Disneyland, has been in the news for the shoddy condition of many of its attractions, and is down over a million visitors from the previous year. There is no way to put a silver lining on it. The situation is not good.

On the other hand, the park’s second gate recently opened a Ratatouille attraction that has breathed some life into that park, there are rumors of a major Star Wars addition being planned, and it’s having a Halloween Festival that is getting good reviews. All signs that the park is on the right track.

So which is it? Unfortunately, it appears that the storm clouds are gathering for the park. It will be holding a special meeting with the workers’ council on Monday to discus the park’s cash crunch. The meeting is timed for just before the Paris Stock Exchange opens.

The 60th attraction of the Disneyland Paris resort just opened putting a great big smile on the faces of guests. Ratatouille: L’Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy (or Ratatouille: The Adventure) opened inside Walt Disney Studios on July 10th. It’s part of a mini-land themed to the cobbled streets of Parise and La Place de Remy right out of the Pixar movie – Ratatouille.

Guests on the attraction will experience audio-animatronic animation and larger-than-life projections that immerse them in the world of Rémy. The ride flies over the rooftops of Paris, through the kitchen, and into the rush of a French dining room all via your own “ratmobile.”

Here’s an early video ride-through:

La Place de Rémy is also home to a table-service restaurant, Bistrot Chez Remy. It features French specialties including ratatouille.
