The new attraction is rumoured to be a much smaller footprint than the full project area as much of the "impervious surface" appears to be undeveloped with structures.

A "Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy "clone from Walt Disney Studios park in Paris is the front runner in the Rumour Race for this new spot.
