Mark Nathan (asker) Sep 27, 2007:
I had a suspicion that this might be a ref to something else - as Julie has found. But as yet they do not seem to have produced an official English version of the French PR surrounding the extension of the 15th birthday celebrations.
veratek Sep 27, 2007:
I don't mean to be annoying, but this space is not for suggestions, Eric - you have good suggestions, just post them normally. This box is to ask for more info.

Waouh? careful here!

NO, that's not my answer - check this out:

Le Journal de Mickey!

Le message de cette vidéo, tout comme celui que l'on retrouve dans la brochure, s'articule autour de quatre points principaux :

"Plus de Rêves",

* "Plus de Waouh" * ,

"Plus de Câlins", et

"Plus de Bons Plans".

Le premier point fait la part belle à la nouvelle Parade des Rêves Disney qui défilera officiellement dès le 1er avril 2007.

*"Plus de Waouh" * fait référence aux nouvelles attractions que sont Crush's Coaster et Cars Race Rally qui ouvriront au mois de juin prochain. Les deux derniers points insistent enfin sur la présence de plus de personnages dans les parcs et sur la réduction "Gratuit pour les moins de 7 ans".

Mixing an indoor (and outdoor) spinning roller coaster with a dark ride, this state-of-the-art movie attraction is totally unique to Paris and sure to be turtally "awesome"...

It's theme seems to be the kids film "Finding Nemo", and if you look towards it's scripts you've got some:

Whoooooooooooaaaaa!!! Aaaaaaaaaaah!!! Woohoooo!!!
Whoooooaaa!!!

Peer comment(s):
agree David Goward : Given your find, it looks more like a roller-coaster "yaaahooo!" (or "waaahoo!" or ...) than a "wow!" of amazement.

Cool !

"top gear fun still on !" (another slant ?!)

my offering ! Youngsters use the term 'cool' for everything nowadays!
Peer comment(s):
agree veratek : "cool" is overused - this is much better from a marketing perspective -> top gear fun still on

Wayhey!

neutral veratek : don't think it works as an adjective

and "waouh" does? :-)
neutral David Goward : Maybe "yoopee!" rather than the cushion-affected "whoopee"!

Yes, that's better. I actually prefer my second suggestion of "way-hey"

"Another great year of WOW! in store."

I think that could do the job.

Given JB's find, "yaaahooooo!" may be what you're looking for, but the search engine people might not agree!
"whaaahooo!" maybe?

Re. "the search engine people might not agree!": unless Disney and Yahoo! are owned by the same corp. of course. Anyone know?

Wow thanks, Irina!
neutral veratek : don't think it works that well
58 mins
Fails to "wow" you, does it? Thanks for your perspective!
agree siragui : "Yahoo!" definitely catches the tone for me. Can the word really be copyrighted?!!
