Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, also known as Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy (lit., 'Remy's Totally Zany Adventure'), is a motion-based trackless 3D dark ride, based on the 2007 Disney-Pixar animated film Ratatouille, located at Disneyland Paris's Walt Disney Studios Park in France and at Walt Disney World's France Pavilion at Epcot.[1][2][3][4]
Disneyland Paris officially announced the attraction in March 2013.[5]
In both versions, the ride's dialogue alternates between English and French.
History
The attraction was revealed as part of internet rumours of an expansion of Walt Disney Studios Park's
Construction of the attraction officially began in 2012.
On July 15, 2017, Disney Parks announced during its D23 Expo presentation that a duplicate of the ride would come to Epcot's France Pavilion at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida in 2020.[2][3][4] Construction began in November of the same year with land clearing.[8] After construction delays and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the attraction opened on October 1, 2021, on the 50th anniversary of the Walt Disney World Resort and the 39th anniversary of Epcot, along with a new restaurant, La Crêperie de Paris, located nearby the attraction.[1]
On August 27, 2021, following Disneyland Paris' reopening, Walt Disney Studios Park announced that the attraction was set to become part of the Worlds of Pixar area.
Ride experience
The attraction's exterior is that of Gusteau's restaurant, and the surrounding buildings of a Parisian plaza, with the queue set in an artist's loft leading to the rooftops of Paris, where guests are "shrunk" to the size of a rat.
After guests board their "ratmobiles" on the roof of Gusteau's restaurant, Remy and the spirit of Chef Auguste Gusteau are deciding which meal to prepare for them. After deciding on their famous ratatouille dish, Remy and the guests fall through a swinging roof glass-pane, landing on the restaurant kitchen floor. This starts a chase sequence with Remy leading the guests and other rats away from the cooks, passing through the walk-in freezer and under a hot oven.
Guests eventually end up in the dining area, attracting attention from customers and causing a riot. Chef Skinner tries to get rid of the rats and the guests, while Alfredo Linguini tries to help them escape into a nearby vent. The escape through the vent in the walls is almost wrecked by Skinner, who angrily attempts to grab the guests through the venting grids. In the end, they make it safely to Remy's kitchen, where the cooking of the ratatouille is ongoing.
The guests are bid farewell by Remy and the spirit of Gusteau, while the rat colony is feasting on Remy's cooking. In Paris, the attraction exits at the restaurant Bistro Chez Rémy, unlike at Epcot.[5]
Patton Oswalt, Peter Sohn, Lou Romano, and Brad Garrett reprise their voice roles from the original film as Remy, Emile, Linguini and Gusteau, respectively.[citation needed]
