Site preparation activity for the construction of the Ratatouille attraction is picking up pace in World Showcase at the rear of Epcot's France Pavilion.

In these latest pictures you can see just how big the construction site is in relation to the existing pavilion, and also visible at the top of the image is the work on the Epcot Skyway station.

Initially, Rat had 3 individual seats with dividers in between, but shortly after opening they removed the dividers and made it a front bench and a back bench. I’m not sure if they ever get up to 4 people (1 adult and 4 children for example) in the back, but they no longer have the capacity for single rider given it’s a bench with undefined seating (like MMRR). Alternatively, (and likely the more likely driver) too many Americans couldn’t fit between the dividers, causing delays and decreased guest satisfaction that exceeded any potential benefits from single-rider.

It was pictured in concept art. Single rider is pretty important for a 3-wide car

I was wondering if they had single rider as it still exists at DLP

Gotta sell those genies. They better not pull that with the new Test Track.

Interesting that it’s getting that high considering they axed single-rider at the 11th hour.

Not to bump an old thread, but we measured Remy's hourly capacity at rope-drop this morning at 2,151 guests per hour. That's pretty close to the estimated 2,200/hour we've heard elsewhere.

Why is Disney always responding right after Universal and not vice versa. Mmm

It was. Felt not as immersive and even more like you are just watching a movie during the big screen sections.

It’s usually due to projector or glass cleaning maintenance

Not alleged, they're running it as a test until March 9. It's a cost-cutting measure.

I know they've done this before in Paris due to technical issues, so I'm not sure I'd read too much into it.

saving expense from replacing and or cleaning the glasses all the time? wouldn't surprise me, cost cutting moves.

Universal allegedly downgraded King Kong from 3D to 2D as well. What's the trend here?

This seems a bad move to me.
