Composite Review (4.0 / 5)

Based on a synthesis of recent guest feedback and reports regarding the November 2025 update to Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure at EPCOT, here is a composite review of the attraction in its new 2D format.

Verdict

A "clearer" but flatter kitchen chaotic run. Great for families and motion-sickness sufferers; slightly disappointing for immersion purists.

The Big Change: 3D to 2D

The most discussed aspect of the ride is the permanent removal of 3D glasses as of mid-November 2025. The consensus is sharply divided but leans positive for comfort:

  • The Good: Guests overwhelmingly praise the brightness and clarity of the new 2D projections. Without the darkening tint of 3D glasses, the screens are vibrant and crisp. Many riders with prescription glasses or small children celebrate the convenience of not fiddling with "clunky" eyewear that often slipped off or fogged up.
  • The Bad: Purists note a distinct loss of depth. The 3D effect was originally designed to bridge the gap between the physical giant props (like the ham and oranges) and the screens. In 2D, the transition between "real" sets and "screen" action is more jarring and obvious, breaking the illusion that you are truly shrinking.

Motion Sickness & Comfort

This is the biggest win for the update. A significant number of reviewers who previously skipped this attraction due to nausea report that the 2D version is much easier to handle. The "dizziness" often caused by the disconnect between the trackless vehicle's spinning and the 3D focus is largely gone, making it a "must-do" again for sensitive riders.

Atmosphere & Ride Experience

Despite the visual format switch, the ride remains a charming, chaotic dash through Gusteau’s kitchen.

  • Physical Effects: The heat from the oven and the splash from the mop are still effective and fun.
  • New Details: Riders have spotted new lighting and prop enhancements in the queue and ride (part of the refurbishment), which help flesh out the environment, though some feel these don't fully compensate for the loss of 3D immersion.
  • Story: The narrative remains identical, but without the 3D "pop-out" effects, some scenes feel more like watching a high-def movie while moving rather than being inside the movie.

Final Thoughts

If you loved the ride for its immersive "reach out and touch it" feel, you might find the new 2D version a slight downgrade that feels less like a "premium" E-ticket attraction. However, if you ever struggled with the glasses or felt queasy after the champagne cork pop, this update has likely saved the ride for you. It remains a top-tier family attraction, just with a little less "dimension."
