World of Color rumours hit the net
Posted by Kristof on Thursday, January 14 2010Disney and More blogger Alain Littaye gave a recap today of rumours that have been circulating the net the past few months and weeks of Disneyland Paris' next attractions for the coming years.
Among the ever returning possibilities (Ratatouille, The Little Mermaid, Stars Tours 2, etc.) one rumour stood out which hasn't been really talked about: the water spectacular "World of Color".
Walt Disney Studios Park is the only Disney theme park in the world without a large body of water. Which is why a large lake is included in the park's master plan. Earlier plans showed the lake located at the end of a prolonged Hollywood Blvd. which will go all the way up past the forest. The lake would serve as a waterfront backlot surrounded by sets and prop ships.
It seems natural that such a large spectacular would be the best location for the park's lacking night time entertainment.

A Night Show for the Walt Disney Studios?
Recently i saw on french forums a rumor talking about a lake that should be build behind WDS Hollywood Blvd and Tower of Terror. Well, DLP fans will be happy to learn that more than a simple rumor it's a real project. The Walt Disney Studios generally close each day around 7 p.m, mainly (but not only) because the park don't have a night show. So, the plan is to build a lake which will host not Fantasmic! but the World of Color show - yes, the same one opening in April at DCA.
Why World of Color instead of Fantasmic!, you ask? Well once it is built the World of Color show need less cast-members, so the operation cost won't be as high as Fantasmic! Still, DLP executives are probably waiting to know more about the maintenance cost of World of Color at DCA and then, eventually, and if the funds are available, World of Color will come to the WDS. As this is a long term project, don't expect it before at least 2015. But it's a good news that Imagineers are working on a WDS night show as the park really need one.
