About Crush’s Coaster

Crush’s Coaster, one of the busiest attractions at Disneyland Paris, invites guests into the vibrant and dynamic world of the Disney-Pixar film “Finding Nemo.” Opened in 2007 at Walt Disney Studios Park, this ride quickly captured the hearts of visitors with its innovative approach to theme park entertainment.

This coaster combines the thrill of a roller coaster with the sensory richness of a dark ride. This coaster sets itself apart in the realm of theme park experiences. Guests board turtle-shaped cars and embark on a whirlwind journey through the East Australian Current. As they follow Crush and other Finding Nemo characters, such as Nemo and Dory, they experience the ocean’s wonders and challenges.

The ride begins calmly, inviting guests to explore the Great Barrier Reef with vibrant visuals and enchanting underwater effects. Soon, the adventure intensifies as the coaster picks up speed, spinning and twirling through dark, watery depths, mirroring Crush’s fast-paced journey through the ocean.

A remarkable feature of the coaster is its spinning mechanism. Each car rotates independently, creating a different experience with every ride. This unique element adds an unpredictable twist to the adventure, making it a fresh and exciting experience each time. The ride’s design also cleverly incorporates elements from the “Finding Nemo” film, seamlessly blending story with thrill, and making guests feel as though they’ve plunged into the movie’s animated world.
