2,5 Million visitors for WDS in 2007
Posted by raptor1982 on Monday, March 17 2008

T.E.A., a professional theme park related magazine, has published the annual figures for global theme parks.

Walt Disney Studios Park pulled in 2.5 million (10th place Europe), putting it one place up the European leaderboard and ahead of UK rival Alton Towers for the first time.

But Studios fans, you’re right to object — the second gate at Disneyland Resort Paris does attract far, far more people than this. The inaccuracy in these estimated figures is that Euro Disney SCA count their parks on what they call a “first click” basis, so if you bought a Park Hopper and visited Disneyland Park the first day and Walt Disney Studios Park the second, your “point” would go to Disneyland Park, and the Studios wouldn’t get anything.

So next time when you're visiting the resort, be sure to head over to WDS first for a ride on Tower of Terror, Crush's Coaster or a breakfast in Disney Studio 1!

We met the Robinsons!
Posted by raptor1982 on Wednesday, March 12 2008

Since a few months can Walt Disney Studios Park guests have a meet 'n' greet with the stars from Disney's Meet the Robinsons. Each Saturday will the characters Wilbur (black outfit) and Lewis (in red and blue) meet their fans in Toon Studio, near the Art of Disney Animation.

Both stars were willing to pose for our camera to provide these great pictures.

UPDATE: we've been told that the meet 'n greets with Lewis and Wilbur might stop by the end of March.
