Heading into the weekend, let’s do a quick round-up of what’s new, or on the way, for attractions around the world.
Disneyland Paris today opened Brasserie Rosalie after a year of renovations. Operated by the Bertrand Group and designed in collaboration with Walt Disney Imagineering, the 348-seat Rosalie offers French classics such as Burgundy snails, onion soup au gratin, and seafood selections including a lobster pot pie. An outdoor counter next to the restaurant offers sandwiches, salads and pastries to go.

Ferrari World Abu Dhabi has introduced a new live character show. Starring the park’s Bella, Jack, and Gio, the new Cinema Maranello production sees Jack getting a Ferrari toy car that leads Jack and Bella to Gio, the engine-robot genie, who hears their wish to race in a Ferrari. A meet and greet with the characters follows the show. The show plays three times daily, at 2, 4, and 6pm. Tickets to Ferrari World and the other Yas Island theme parks are available via our ticket partner.

The photo was a publicity shot taken during the construction of the 69th floor of Rock Center’s RCA Building, according to Rockefeller Center.The Beam photo op is a $25 per person upgrade to the Top of the Rock general admission ticket to 30 Rock’s observation deck. (It is a nifty elevator ride up, by the way.) Timed general admission tickets start at $34 and are available on the 30 Rock website.
