Roller Coasters at Disneyland Paris

Anyone who loves roller coasters and excitement would be crazy not to ride the Space Mountain roller coaster, it’s out of this world…! and is certainly among the best rides at Disneyland Paris. It’s a well thought out ride, with both speed, twist’s and turns, as well as an amazing light show which represents the night sky with stars and planets all around you.  As you are propelled through space don’t forget to hold your arms in the air and scream as loud as you can as your photograph is taken for your keepsake at Disneyland Paris.

Toy Story Playland area was initially opened in the Walt Disney Studios park on Aug 2010, putting 3 new rides on the line-up at the Disneyland Paris Resort’s 2nd theme recreation area.

New rides in the Toy Story Playland are RC Racer and Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop. Each one was designed and themed around character’s from the film Toy Story. There are currently no dining places to be found within the new land, however there’s a little retail store offering Toy Story products.

One of the most extreme of Toy Story Playland’s points of interest is RC Racer, influenced from the fast remote-controlled car which plays an important part in the latest Toy Story films. The actual ride is really a half-pipe roller-coaster, produced by ‘Intamin’ plus designed to appear like the actual Hot Wheels track which RC rides from the Toy Story films. A nice touch, is the design of the pathway within the queue line, it is shaped and designed to appear like a long racetrack.

Even though it appears like a rollercoaster, RC Racer is much like the old fairground ride, “swinging boat” that can be found at fairgrounds & theme parks worldwide. Nevertheless, unlike the old version of this ride RC Racer is fast and exhilarating. Riders are secured by the over-the-shoulder harnesses and also attachment by a seat belt.

Standing tall and proud the Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop is twenty five meters high and is an imposing site within the Toy Story Playland. The ride dominates Walt Disney Studios skyline, alongside the stunning Twilight Tower of Terror and can even be seen from  Frontierland.

For thrill seekers alike, don’t forget to try out the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and travel through the darkness in a coaster boat and ride the rapids before floating majestically through the calm waters as the rugged drunken pirates scowl at you and your family…protecting their treasure! For me one of the best rides at Disneyland Paris.

Situated at the far end of Frontierland, guests will find the Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, the largest restaurant in the area contained within a beautifully designed barn, which offers a delicious chili as well as barbecue food.

The Cowboy Cookout Barbecue restaurant is the place to be when you want to meet some of Disney’s and Pixar’s most beloved characters.

Theme Parks at Disneyland Paris

Euro Disney Paris

(Euro Disney Paris) 

Euro Disney Paris was opened in 1992. There were mixed feelings from the French and from Americans. The French thought it would change their culture and Americans didn’t understand flying to Paris to go to a Disneyland when they are so many in America.  Today are 50 million people who visits Euro Disney Paris every year. Close to half of that are the French. At 5,000 acres it is bigger than the original Disneyland. It has the same magic and well groomed lawns of pictures, and fountains. Everything is picture perfect like all of the Disney Parks.  You will find all the Disney characters around the park. 

Euro Disney Paris is 45 minutes by train from Paris to Marne-la-Valley. This is the only place they found with enough land to build it. You can get to Euro Disney Paris from the city many ways. There are tours that will pick you up at your hotel, or they will take you to a shuttle bus from the airport. The RER runs every 15 minutes and takes passengers to walking distance of the entrance of the Disneyland Park. However you get there you will have a great time. 

There is so much to see at Euro Disney Paris to see both Walt Disney Studios and the Disneyland Park in one day. You will need a two-day pass to see both of them. There are many attractions like the IMAX 3-D theater and parades. There is fun for everyone.
