    Disney is overhauling one of its worst theme parks.

    Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris — which is basically a “meh” version of its Hollywood Studios park in Orlando — is getting some goodies, including a “brand-new immersive world” that hasn’t yet been announced.

    Some of the other stuff coming to the newly renamed “Disney Adventure World” include a redesigned park entrance, a Frozen-themed world, a Tangled-themed ride, and new shopping and hotel options.

    The UK’s billion-dollar antitrust lawsuit against Apple is going ahead.

    Apple’s bid to dismiss the lawsuit, which alleges it charged over 1,500 UK-based developers unfair commission fees of up to 30 percent on app purchases, was rejected today.

    The company tried to argue back in January that developers cannot have a claim in the UK unless they were charged via the UK App Store. A trial isn’t expected until 2025.
