Ratatouille is no go , perhaps in 2013 or 2014 if the banks are ok , TWC give a credit to DLP like asuurance for the banks , i think , that in the AG in February , , we have some news of that

Bastia is right for the moment

That type of sign is standard here in France, they relate to the date when planning permission has been given ..as you can see by the date on there it's last year

They don't mean than work has started, is starting or even immiment I'm afraid to say.We have had a sign like that on a site opposite us for the past 2 years and nothing is further along

Right, this only means that the blueprints have been approved by the authorities.
It's a license to build. Permission to build is granted.
By no means does it imply that the construction will be starting anytime soon.
Actually construction may never start at all.

please read the 3 replies above.

DLRP today's news is quite incorrect.

quoted from the news article on DLRP today :

A mere two days after The Walt Disney Company granted Euro Disney S.C.A. funding of €150m for park expansion

this is not a gift at all (as was earlier said in the linked article) TWDC granted a line of credit (revolving credit). This means that DLRP may borrow more money from TDWC. It's basically a trick to soothe bank's fears over the very very poor results of the French Parks.
DLRP is in very big trouble, and does not make money, the interests and royalties it pays to reimburse TDWC are already killing DLRP. And now DLRP is granted the opportunity to borrow even more money ... so that's really not a gift at all. It could seem like good news, but actually it is not.

a fresh “permis de construire” has appeared

the permit is really not that fresh ... it was issued in april 2011 and the blueprints were submitted to Chessy Town Hall in november 2010. So it's far from fresh.

So far no timeframe was given for the start of construction

One thing is for certain, the permit is valid for 2 years from date of issue, so construction will need to begin before april 2013. If it hasn't started then, the blueprints and requests will need to be examined again, and this will take another 4 to 6 months.

DLRP today got really carried away and issued their news article only over a sign which only means that all the red tape has been cleared, nothing more nothing less

Actually French Laws REQUIRE that the "permis de construire" be displayed as soon as the acceptance notification has been issued. So according to regulations here in France, this signpost should have been displayed since april 2011. The fact that it show up now does not mean that construction is about to begin, it just means that DLRP eventually complied with the law.

despite all that's been said, it seems that they are currentely getting the grounds ready for construction

here is a pic from twitter. It's shot from Toy Soldiers' parachute drop and shows the place where ratatouille is supposed to be built.
Some kind of work is obviously underway. Chainsaws have been heard all week.

if you can't figure out the location, the structure by the road in the middle of the picture is the Dinotopia set you can see when riding Studio Tram Tour.

when will the construction really start is a whole other story, but things definitely get moving

Here is the article on DLRPToday... http://www.dlrptoday.com/2012/01/20...s-for-ratatouille-kitchen-calamity-dark-ride/

It has been given the project name of Ratatouille Kitchen Calamity
