Scraping the floor
Posted by raptor1982 on Sunday, February 4 2007

Work on the new flooring in front of Walt Disney Studios Park has been started as the concrete floor has been completely scraped off, leaving a bare concrete ground layer behind.

It's expected that tiles or something similar will be used in favour of coloured concrete for a better durability.

Refurb beyond park gates
Posted by raptor1982 on Monday, January 29 2007

Refurb projects are sproucing up all around the Resort to get the parks nice and shiny for the 15th Anniversary celebration.

This time work has started in front of the Walt Disney Studios gates as the floor leading up to the park has suffered from the many people, heavy delivery trucks and salt during the freezing Marne-la-Vallée weather.

DLRP_bopazot has posted some photos on the MiceChat forums showing how guests are welcomed by another line up of construction fences, leading to the far right of the park's gates.

Still in make-up

The Front Lot refurbishment continues slowly but surely, as the repainted Studio Photo shows its refurbished colours and the Studio Services building vanishes under a coat of new white base paint.

With Tower of Terror and most of Animation Courtyard already surrounded by a sea of construction fences, there's definitely no continuity errors in this production...

Front Lot refurbishment continues

With the repainting of Walt Disney Studios Store almost completed, work has moved across the Place des Frères Lumière to Studio Photo and the Stroller & Wheelchair rental building, which has been given a new white basecoat in preparation for a welcome repaint.

Work is also still ongoing at the park's ticket desks, where the canopy pillars are being repainted following the refurbishment of the inside walls last month.

Walt Disney Studios Store in rehab!
Posted by raptor1982 on Sunday, September 10 2006

The Walt Disney Studios Store on Front Lot is receiving for the first time in its history a rehab on the façade! Green construction walls fence off the right side of the building, blocking the view on the work in progress.
Sources claim that a darker orange might be used for a warmer touch on Front Lot.

A new silver screen
Posted by raptor1982 on Wednesday, September 6 2006

The refurb of Cinémagique slated for 22nd to 25th January 2007 will most likely include the replacement of the current screen. This new screen is more than welcome since scratches and dents on the almost five year old screen can be clearly seen while watching the show.

Lights, camera, refurbishments!

The latest calendar of scheduled attraction closures has just been released, and it appears that, as Walt Disney Studios Park nears its 5th birthday, the attractions will be getting more care to compensate for their age. Studio Tram Tour will be given a mysteriously long 3-week refurbishment in November this year, whilst Flying Carpets Over Agrabah will close for 3 weeks in March, likely to allow major work to take place in this area of the park for the Toon Studio enhancement project.

The full closure schedule is as follows:
Studio Tram Tour: 6th to 24th November 2006
Animagique: 13th to 17th November 2006
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith: 11th to 14th December 2006
CinéMagique: 22nd to 25th january 2007
