Paris' Walt Disney Studios Park - Part 3
Page 7 of 7
The Future and “La Terrasse”
As someone who has followed the planning, designing and construction of the park for
nearly 5 years, the sight of La Terrasse was somewhat perplexing. I had never seen the
area on any of the WDI designs and park layout maps. The area was also the last to be
constructed in the entire park, and sections of the concrete walls still needed paint. La
Terrasse has been designed as a food court, as two of the park’s 13 Studio Catering
Company trucks are stationed there. However, the trucks were not open on the first preview
day and no seating has yet been installed. Closer observers will have noticed the enticing
“HTH” logo on the overhead concrete beams in front of the closed gates. The
construction site behind the gates is already progressing on the foundations for the most
popular Disney attraction in history (according to Walt Disney World guest surveys), the
Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror. Although no official press release has been issued, cast
close to the project have alluded to the Tower taking the design specifications of the
recently unveiled Tower for the Disney’s California Adventure district, the Hollywood
Pictures Backlot.
The Terrace Food Court is not yet in operation.
