Crush's Coaster
Disney Adventure World Paris · Worlds of Pixar
Temporarily closed
Extensive refurbishment (~10 months). Disneyland Paris and multiple outlets say "until Summer 2027" — no exact reopening date confirmed yet, this end date is our own placeholder for the end of that window.
Closed September 7, 2026 – August 31, 2027.
Overview
Crush's Coaster opened in 2007, and its mix of dark-ride scenes and a spinning coaster is still what makes it distinctive nearly two decades later. The Finding Nemo scenes leading in are dense and dark, but the payoff is the finale: a high-speed coaster stretch where the turtle-shell vehicle spins independently of the track, so which direction you're actually facing during each turn changes ride to ride.
ParksLog verdict
Premier Access this or hit it in the first thirty minutes of park opening — standby routinely clears an hour, and the free-spinning finale genuinely rewards a second ride since the orientation never repeats exactly. If the debate is this or Avengers Assemble for your one thrill-ride priority, this edges it out on sheer unpredictability.
About this experience
