Uncover one of Disneyland Paris’s best-kept secrets: the park’s largest animatronic is hidden away… beneath the Sleeping Beauty Castle! This legendary creature, awe-inspiring in size and realism, has been captivating visitors ever since the park opened its gates in 1992.
The Dragon's Den, a walkthrough attraction tucked beneath the stones of this fairy-tale castle, is home to the largest animatronic ever built since the park's opening in 1992: a colossal audio-animatronic dragon measuring 27 meters in length.
This gigantic dragon, weighing nearly 2 tons, lets out rumbling growls, sways its tail, moves its head, and even emits smoke at regular intervals—as if it were peacefully sleeping before being awakened by visitors! As for its identity, two popular theories abound: some believe it is inspired by the film Merlin the Enchanter, while others think it represents Maleficent. The mystery remains unsolved!
The Dragon's Den remains a closely guarded secret: you must descend into the dark cavern beneath the castle to uncover it. This exclusive attraction is unique to Disneyland Paris and isn't found in any other theme park worldwide. Are you ready to embark on an adventure to discover this hidden gem?
