Disney Converts EPCOT’s Ratatouille Ride to 2‑D, Prompting Complaints of Lost Immersion
The quiet update prioritizes comfort for guests sensitive to 3‑D effects.
Overview
- Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure now operates without 3‑D glasses, with reviewers noting cleaner, sharper visuals but a different feel.
- On‑site reports say scenes look flatter and large projection spaces are more exposed, reducing the sense of depth.
- Sight gags and chase moments engineered for 3‑D timing land softer, though the attraction’s charm and story remain intact.
- Disney’s rationale emphasizes accessibility for guests who experienced eye strain, motion sickness, or discomfort from 3‑D eyewear.
- The change rolled out with little fanfare and, with no added physical enhancements announced, many guests report a diminished experience.
