The final surprise of Disneyland15.com’s “behind the scenes” anniversary preview is - aside from the mention of Tower of Terror so early - a very first look at the dramatic Sunken Submarine scene from Crush’s Coaster, which will bridge the gap between the “dark ride” and “coaster” sections to enclose the lift hill of this highly anticipated spinning coaster.

Next in the backstage preview video featured on the new Disneyland15.com is Cars Race Rally, introduced by DLP-Imagineering head Peter McGrath and then shown in concepts, models and real-life. The video gives us our very first look at the design of the 12 spinning cars, as well as some never-before-seen concept art for the très Art Deco entrance building.

CyberSpace Mountain, the build-your-own-roller-coaster simulator attraction within Walt Disney Television Studios, has closed for good. Taken out of service without notice in late January, the Walt Disney Studios Park post-show feature is now in the process of being removed from the building… and CyberSpace itself - all mention of the attraction on the official website has now vanished.

When we first presented the 2007 Resort Map back in November, featuring an updated Walt Disney Studios Park illustration with the new Toon Studio attractions, it couldn’t help but be noticed that a little reserved spot right in the middle of the park was ready and waiting for another new addition. Now, an updated plan is already available, showing off not only the new Tower of Terror but the entire development of the resort since 1992.

Following on from yesterday’s first look at the sculpting of the new Toon Studio Sorcerer Mickey statue, it’s time already for yet another stunning look into the future of Walt Disney Studios Park. Posted on the French Disney Magic Interactive forum earlier this evening before flooding into every corner of Disney cyberspace, this is one concept art that guarantees astonishment - no sorcery required.

The latest issue of Disney fan magazine ‘Tales from the Laughing Place’ features an article all about the Toon Studio placemaking project at Walt Disney Studios Park - including an exclusive first look at the brand new Sorcerer Mickey statue! The magazine has previously presented an in-depth article about the creation of CinéMagique, and from the small preview given on its website, this latest Paris-based article looks just as revealing.

Not to be outdone by its younger sibling, Disneyland Park has also joined the new craze of construction walls in the past weeks, as the park continues to be given extra spit and polish to get it neat ‘n’ pretty for the 15th Anniversary. More repainting and store refurbishments in Main Street, some welcome care for Plaza Gardens and a familiar stage still on Central Plaza…

From Chicago to LA… and now to Marne-la-Vallée! A whole new audience will be able to get their kicks on ‘66 when Cars Quatre Roues Rallye opens in June, and now the first recognisable locations from Pixar’s Route 66 are visible… from CGI to reality.

Way back at the very beginning of December, a small piece of the large mural/fresque covering the front of Crush’s Coaster appeared for one day only. Now, two months later, the final article has arrived! The grey concrete facade of the dark-ride building has been soaked in blue and turquoise, with a full-length fresque featuring Crush and his turtle friends.

There have been rumblings for several weeks now that the ride system of Crush’s Coaster has already begun tests, but with only a few turtle shell cars being sent through the attraction each day, it must be like trying to win the lottery getting a snap of one from over “that” fence near Art of Disney Animation. Looks like someone won the jackpot, then…

What would it be like to visit a Disney Park under construction? Quite exciting, don’t you think? Well, during “The Year to Live Your Dream” at Disneyland Resort Paris, any dream is possible! Thanks to the Hollywood Studio placemaking project at Walt Disney Studios, it looks like the park just hit a new all-time construction wall record.

We’ve seen visuals, we’ve seen concept art - and now, we can see the real thing. Disneyland Resort Paris has prepared some exciting new backstage photos ready to release to the press in the build-up to the launch of the 15th Anniversary Celebration, and they certainly know how to build some anticipation! Get a closer look at a turtle shell, a backstage look at a life-size Luigi and a brilliant glimpse at two dazzling new Princess dresses.

Five years on from its opening in 2002, the world of Walt Disney Studios Park is starting to show its age. Luckily, with CinéMagique just out of refurbishment and Flying Carpets Over Agrabah scheduled for an epic clean-up in March, they’re definitely on the case. Next up, at least as far as we can tell, is the crumbling searchlight flooring of the park entrance, always a sore point with refurb-watchers!

Back in the “good old days”, the ever-changing designs of the park passports was always a fun element of each visit to the resort, giving a sense of something new and different about each visit - and something nice to sell on eBay all these years later! With the introduction of a more modern ticket system in 2002, generic tickets became the norm for the past five years. Now, for the 15th Anniversary, they’re finally shaking it up again…

It’s the Start Of Something New… Our partner site WDSfans.com exclusively confirms that High School Musical is on its way to Walt Disney Studios Park. The inescapable Disney Channel Original Movie phenomenon will arrive in mid-June 2007 as a “travelling” Summer show performed on a movable stage, replacing the Starring Cruella De Vil streetmosphere show which has been presented for the past two Summer seasons.
