Which DLRP Attractions Are Identical to WDW/DLR Attractions?

[jrtoastyman]

My wife and I will be heading to DLRP for the first time in a couple of months. We have both been to both Disneyland and WDW several times, and long story short, I'll be at DLR the week before our trip, and we'll be hitting WDW on the tail end of our trip to Paris. Accordingly, if something is basically just a clone of a an attraction in the US, or close enough that it's not really a new experience, I'd rather skip it in favor of things that are unique.

I gather that both Snow White and Pinocchio are more or less the same as the DLR versions. Dumbo and the Teacups likewise look pretty standard. What else is not going to offer anything different from the US?
Thanks!

I just got back from DLP a couple weeks ago, and I had the same thoughts as you. I ended up having enough time to do everything, even if it was similar, but here are my thoughts. The only attractions that I think are identical are Dumbo, the Teacups, Tower of Terror, Buzz Lightyear (I think it's the same as DLR?), and Orbitron/Astro Orbiter.. There are similar ones such as Snow White, Pinocchio, Small World, and Pirates. Although there are American versions of these attractions, I found all of them well worth going on. There are enough differences to make it worth it (Snow White especially has some...interesting differences, and I think the Paris Small World is my favorite of all of them).

Let me know if you have any other questions about attractions. I made it on every open attraction (most more than once) while I was there in 2 1/2 days.

thanks for the response! How intense is the Nemo Coaster? My wife's thrill tolerance is right around the Mine Train zone -- is it more intense than that?

Also, did you try Bistrot Chez Remy? We're looking forward to giving that a go...

Crush is more intense than SDMT as it actually spins fast and has dark areas - it is brilliant though. My Mum is a total wuss and went on SDMT a few times and managed - it's the only coaster she's ever ridden as she won't do any others, she won't go on Crush at all, possibly because of it's spinning.

Crush's Coaster is awesome! I did not find it intense at all, just fun, but I am a roller coaster junkie. I agree with DLPDreams that it is more intense than the Mine Train (though in my opinion Crush is much more fun). It's very smooth but it does spin and it's fast. There are no inversions or anything though. If your wife doesn't want to do it, there is a single rider line.

I didn't end up doing Bistrot Chez Remy (or any sit down restaurants) while I was there.

I do think Crush Coaster is an intense rollercoaster because of the spinning. I suffer from motion sickness and that spinning doesn't do any good for that. But... I still do the ride sometimes because of the great first part of the ride. At the spinning part I close my eyes which helps to control the motion sickness.

We have been to Bistro Chez Remy and loved it! Theming is just right and the food is better than we expected it to be. We had the Emile menu; starter maincourse, dessert and 1 drink included. The starter is a salad (can't choose), maincourse we chose the steak and a heavenly chocolate mousse as dessert We had a reservation at the latest time possible. There were only about 20 other people so perfect for taking photos of the beautiful interior. I do think during the day when the restaurant is full it can feel quite crowded because most of the tables are close to each other.
