Crush's Coaster: the roller coaster tailor-made for Marne-la-Vallée

At Worlds of Pixar, at Disney Adventure World, Crush’s Coaster is among the attractions designed especially for Disneyland Paris, in Seine-et-Marne. Closed for renovations since September 7, 2026, it is slated to reopen on July 2, 2027. Visitors will then be able to ride this whirling roller coaster through the East Australian Current, alongside the sea turtles from the film Finding Nemo.

Its technical feat? The pods carved to resemble turtle shells whirl freely on their own axes at 360°, driven by centrifugal force, as the convoy plunges through waterfalls and tight turns in total darkness. This clever blend of immersive scenic routing and a rotating roller coaster remains an absolute exclusive that American or Asian parks have never replicated.

Rapunzel Tangled Spin: a brand-new luminous waltz along the water

Inaugurated to enrich the stroll along Adventure Way at Disney Adventure World, Raiponce Tangled Spin has emerged as a one-of-a-kind family attraction in Disney Parks worldwide. Inspired by one of the most poetic scenes from the animated feature Rapunzel, this swirling adventure invites young and old to relive the iconic Lantern Festival in real time.

Aboard elegant carved-wood boats, visitors drift gently beneath a celestial vault adorned with hundreds of incandescent lanterns hanging overhead. While other Disney complexes around the world have offered tranquil boat rides themed to the princess with golden hair, this particular concept of an airborne, spinning carousel bathed in the lanterns’ warm, golden glow remains an exclusive creation designed to dazzle walkers in the Paris region.

Avengers Assemble: Flight Force — Iron Man and Captain Marvel take off exclusively in Paris

Heading to Marvel Avengers Campus at Disney Adventure World to discover another exclusive for Disneyland Paris guests. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force launches the new recruits into space alongside Iron Man and Captain Marvel to thwart a threat aimed at Earth. It’s a high‑velocity mission in a form you won’t find at any other Disney Park.

While fans of the old Walt Disney Studios will recognize the layout of the former Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster with Aerosmith, the entire experience was reimagined in 2022 around the Marvel universe: a fresh story, new surroundings, and updated projections and effects thrust riders into a genuine Avengers mission. Another standout detail: the Iron Man who welcomes recruits before they depart is the very first Audio-Animatronic representing an Avenger ever installed in a Disney Park. That makes this Parisian roller coaster far more than a simple theme refresh: Flight Force remains a Marvel creation unique to Disneyland Paris.

Ready to save the Earth from the Kree? Avengers Campus, the Disney Adventure World zone, has been home to a high-octane thrill ride since July 20, 2022, taking the place of the Rock’n’Roller Coaster. Its name: Avengers Assemble: Flight Force. A roller coaster that follows the same track as the Rock’n’Roller Coaster, but with new preshows and a fresh storyline featuring Iron Man and Captain Marvel... We tested it (with the new effects), and here’s what you need to know! [Read more]

Who is this attraction for?

Who it's for: adrenaline junkies craving fast-paced thrills and roller-coaster moments in the dark, plus Marvel fans eager to join Iron Man and Captain Marvel on a mission.

What to know before you visit: The attraction features rapid acceleration, multiple inversions, sections in darkness, and a wide array of lighting effects. Keep these factors in mind if you’re prone to motion sickness, sensitive to sudden movements, or affected by bright lights.

Alice's Curious Labyrinth: a living tribute to European topiary art

Another marvel designed especially for local visitors: Alice's Curious Labyrinth, in Fantasyland. Here, the creators pay a strong homage to the art of topiary, that landscape tradition born in Roman antiquity and refined through the Renaissance and the classic French-style parks of Versailles or Vaux-le-Vicomte, which involves meticulously pruning shrubs to sculpt geometric shapes, living galleries, and ornamental motifs.

This leafy labyrinth invites you to lose yourself among hedges clipped to perfection, guided by the Cheshire Cat's floating grin or the Queen of Hearts' cards painting the white roses red. The walk ends at the top of the Queen of Hearts–shaped cake castle, offering an unbeatable panorama over the entire Disney Park. If Shanghai Disneyland opened a maze in 2016 inspired by Tim Burton's live-action film, the Disneyland Paris version remains the only one in the world faithful to the 1951 animated classic!

Who is this attraction for?

Who it’s for: Visitors who enjoy strolling through the grounds, admiring the topiary art, and photographing the view from the castle.

What to know before your visit: The labyrinth is explored on foot, and reaching the final keep requires negotiating narrow stairs. Please consider these factors based on your mobility.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril: a roller coaster like no other in the Disney universe

Hat pinned to his head and a whip at the belt: Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Peril is one of Disneyland Paris’s exclusive attractions. While the famous archaeologist also stars in adventures at California and Tokyo Disney parks, the Paris version stands apart: here, there’s no off-road vehicle tearing through a booby-trapped temple, but a proper roller coaster with loops housed in the heart of Adventureland’s ruins.

Visuels Disneyland Paris - Indiana Jones et le Temple du PérilVisuels Disneyland Paris - Indiana Jones et le Temple du PérilVisuels Disneyland Paris - Indiana Jones et le Temple du PérilVisuels Disneyland Paris - Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril

Opened in 1993, the ride whisks guests along cars that circle a mysterious temple buried in the jungle at breakneck speed. It marked a small revolution in Disney history, as it was the first Disney Park attraction to offer a complete inversion. And Disneyland Paris took things even a notch higher a few years later: between 2000 and 2004, the trains were flipped to create Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril... Upside Down. Adventurers then rode the course facing backward, looping included. That experience has since vanished, but it only reinforces the decidedly peculiar character of this Parisian-only attraction.

Who is this attraction for?

Who is this for: thrill-seekers chasing dynamic roller-coaster twists and heart-pounding sensations, and fans of the Indiana Jones universe.

What to know before you visit: The ride features a full inversion, rapid drops, and abrupt movements. It may not be suitable for anyone sensitive to jolts, dizziness, or motion sickness.

Car Road Trip: Route 66, Seine-et-Marne style

No need for a ticket to California to hit Route 66: at Cars Road Trip, in Seine-et-Marne, Flash McQueen, Martin and their friends are waiting for visitors. This family-friendly attraction at Disney Adventure World serves up a Disneyland Paris–flavored take on the Cars universe, quite different from the experiences offered at Disney California Adventure and its sprawling Cars Land.

Visuels Disneyland Paris - Cars Road TripVisuels Disneyland Paris - Cars Road TripVisuels Disneyland Paris - Cars Road TripVisuels Disneyland Paris - Cars Road Trip

Opened in 2021, Cars Road Trip grew out of transforming part of the former attraction Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic. Settled in large trams, visitors glide through a whimsical take on the American West, where mechanical curiosities, desert landscapes, and Pixar characters pop up. The centerpiece is Cars-tastrophe Canyon, the descendant of Studio Tram Tour’s spectacular Catastrophe Canyon: an earthquake, a fuel tanker, waterfalls, and fire effects spice up a ride that had seemed oddly tranquil. A mischievous way to preserve a slice of the park’s history while weaving it into the colorful world of Cars.

Disneyland Paris invites families and fans of the Cars movie to discover, as of Thursday, June 17, 2021, its revamped take on the Studio Tram Tour attraction, Cars Road Trip, at Disney Adventure World. [Read more]

Who is this attraction for?

For whom: Families, young visitors and Cars fans looking for an accessible attraction that leans more on immersive scenery and staging than on high-octane thrills.

What to know before you visit: The ride is mostly gentle, but the Cars-tastrophe Canyon sequence features intense sound effects, fire, large splashes, and a spectacular production that could surprise the more sensitive children.

The Dragon's Lair: a feat lurking beneath the Fairy Castle

From the park’s earliest sketches in the early 1990s, the Imagineers faced a vertigo-inducing challenge: to impress visitors who are used to real medieval fortresses and the jewels of the Renaissance along the Loire Valley’s chateaux. Exit the conventional reproductions: the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland Park draws its inspiration directly from Mont-Saint-Michel, from the tales of Charles Perrault, and from the illuminated pages of the Très Riches Heures du duc de Berry. Its slender lines, twisted spires, and romantic gold leaf reinterpret with mastery the Gothic Flamboyant style, that medieval architectural current defined by the virtuosity of its openwork ornamentation, its arches broken into arabesques, and sculpted motifs evoking rolling flames.

But the true world‑exclusive secret lies hidden beneath its rocky foundations: The Dragon’s Lair. One-of-a-kind beneath a Disney castle, this dark cavern houses a spectacular, fully articulated animatronic beast with a wingspan of more than twenty-four meters. The monster stirs slowly, lets out deep roars, and exhales a plume of smoky mist before the onlookers. A stubborn urban legend endures that the engineers initially hoped to arm the reptile with a real flamethrower, a dramatic effect that was abandoned in favor of illuminated steam for obvious safety reasons.

Discoveryland: reinventing Tomorrowland in the name of Jules Verne's retrofuturism

It's arguably the most spectacular and exclusive architectural signature in the Disney Park: Disneyland Paris is the only enchanted realm in the world that has no Tomorrowland. Elsewhere—in California, Florida, or Japan—this zone envisions a sanitized future, dominated by white, chrome, and classic space exploration. For European and international visitors stopping by France, the designers envisioned a very different concept called Discoveryland.

This district rests entirely on the Steampunk movement, an artistic and retro-futurist current born from 19th-century anticipation literature that imagines the future through the lens of the first industrial revolution: monumental steam engines, exposed machinery, steel gears, giant rivets, and brass- and copper-wrought ironwork. The atmosphere pays vibrant homage to European visionaries such as Leonardo da Vinci, H.G. Wells, and especially the French author Jules Verne. It is in this copper-clad, one-of-a-kind setting that Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain takes pride of place: while its American counterparts remain gentle family rides without loops in the dark, the Victorian dome of Marne-la-Vallée is the only one on the planet equipped with an outward-slanted catapult propulsion system and several complete inversions.

Iconic variations reimagined for Paris: Rose Castle, West Island and Nautilus

Beyond its pure creations, Disneyland Paris stands out for entirely unique scenographic and technical variations applied to its icons:

  • The Bold Rose Château vs. the Île-de-France Gray: While American and Asian park castles sport gray, white, or beige stone facades, the Parisian beauty wears a vivid candy-pink dress. This precise color choice, conceived by Imagineer Tom Morris, is meant to pop against cloudy skies and the winter gloom of Île-de-France, ensuring visitors always get bright, photo-ready moments year-round.

  • Big Thunder Mountain on its own isolated island : Unlike the California, Florida, or Tokyo versions where the Mine Train meanders on land, the Parisian edition is the only one in the world perched on an island in the middle of the Rivers of the Far West. To reach and return, the trains dive into the dark below the water through two rumbling underwater tunnels, delivering the longest, fastest, and most spectacular ride on the planet!

  • The Land of Fairy Tales : The tiger-headed statue from the Wonderland Cave was chosen specifically for the Paris version, replacing Monstro which welcomes guests in the California Storybook Land.
  • The Mysteries of the Nautilus : While the world of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea has been adapted elsewhere into simulators or closed aquatic walks, Disneyland Park is the only place offering a true pedestrian exploration (walkthrough) of Captain Nemo’s sub, moored in its lagoon. You stroll the Victorian corridors, the engine room, and the grand salon adorned with the famous organ. In the past, visitors could peer through the giant porthole at a dramatic giant squid attack animated by tentacles; today you can admire the marine life displayed on a screen.

  • Phantom Manor : Far from the cheeky mood of American Haunted Mansions, Frontierland’s manor crafts a tragic, melancholic tale rooted in Thunder Mesa’s mining-town history, centering on the fallen bride Mélanie Ravenswood.

  • Liberty Arcade and Discovery Arcade : Built to brave the Île-de-France weather, these two secret covered passages along Main Street U.S.A. celebrate the charm of Paris’s beloved 19th-century arcades, rich with refined woodwork and period-era dioramas.
