A fantastic ride!! Like a childs space mountain crossed with a classic Disney dark ride. Try getting to this ride asap as it is incredibly popular and desperatly needs Fastpass!

I loved this rollercoaster!

Although it did break down several times and staff were never able to tell you when things would be up and running again. But I guess these things do happen in theme parks and you will never know when things will be fixed again.

All in all a good ride, cant complain!

Great coaster ride.

Unfortunately the two days we queued for 45 minutes and when we got to the head of the queue, it broke down!! Once was bad, twice not on. Made a complaint and got a pass which allowed us to go in by the exit, bypassing the queues. Saturday morning and queuing time was 2 hours, went in the exit, 5 minutes later, been on the ride and out again!

Thought would be too scary for 4 year old but he loved it.

As a coaster, this ride is great. It’s surprisingly fast, plenty of dips and drops and is fun and thrilling. The cars spinning also adds to the fun. As a dark ride, this ride is OK. There’s a couple of scenes you pass through before the coaster starts, and by Disney standards they are of mediocre quality. Don’t expect a Pirates of the Caribbean style dark ride, it’s more a spruced up Fantasyland-style attraction.

The big problem with Crush’s Coaster though is the line. There’s nearly always a wait, sometimes a long one, and the ride just doesn’t justify waiting for 60 minutes+. Even 30 minutes is pushing it. The coaser is brief, and the dark rides segment just don’t have the wow factor to justify a long wait. Best bet is to ride first thing when there’s a short wait, but certainly don’t wait longer than 30-40 minutes unless you’re a major Finding Nemo fan (or the kids won’t let you get away with not riding.)

On first appearances, this ride seems like one for the kids. However, after standing in what is usually a very long line, it is actually a very enjoyable and original ride, different to anything in any of the parks.

Wonderful attraction with only one big failure: the queue is much too long! It must be done at the beginning of the day.

This ride has to be my favorite in the studios. the theming is amazing. The queues for this ride are pretty long but it’s very much worth the wait.

The spinning towards the end is amazing. I think little kids will find it a bit scary

I love this ride. It took me completely by surprise, Can`t remember when I had so much fun on a roller coaster. If you like dark rides and coasters with surprising turns you will love this too!

One more thing: this ride is not for people that expect an adventure for the kids, this is a real coaster! (with great theming:-)

I first rode on Crush’s Coaster a year ago and despite the line which was advertised as a 45 minute wait (we were actually and hour) I enjoyed it more second time around. I knew what to expect and was able to spend more time enjoying the scenery – I hadn’t even seen Bruce before (maybe I had my eyes shut!). I still don’t understand why though the lines for this ride are so long when the Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster you can walk straight on to. I guess this ride is more child friendly? Still worth waiting for though. 9/10

What a shock i got on this ride! I expected it to be a gentle ride for kids with the fast part being the outdoor bit you can see. Well i was wrong. We waited till later in the day as had been 60 minute wait, so went late and it had gone down to 35 mins.

You start off gentle enough, but after going outside you are shot straight up spinning and twisting in the dark. Then go back down backwards. i felt sorry for my son who was in the back to begin with so never saw what was coming! Didnt see much as had my eyes closed most of the time while my husband laughed at me all the way through.

It was excellent, but not what i expected. Would i of got on if i had known beforehand?

This ride is quite different from any other Disneyland Paris ride. The queue was quite long but in my opinion it was worth the wait. I loved this ride.

It starts slow but then you go up the pipe that is in the film and Bruce the shark starts to chase you all of a sudden you go flying up the pipe. It is dark and you start spinning around. You have no idea where you are going but it is amazing!

For a bigger thrill on the first ride sit backwards as you have no idea where the top of the ramp is or where you are going at first!

I was really scared in the dark part of the ride and I don’t think I will go on this attraction any more time. I thought it was a ride for kids with a lot of fine fishes to see. But my son (13) and my husband loved it and went on the ride two more times. You must really like rollercoasters to enjoy this one.

Big warning for long queues, go there direct when the park opens.

Crush’s Coaster is a one-of-a-kind ride which is exclusive to DLRP. You won’t find this Finding Nemo themed ride in any of the other Disney parks around the world.

Crush’s Coaster is also the newest ‘coaster’ type ride in Disney’s bulging arsenal. Its an interesting twist on your standard rollercoaster but how does it measure up on the F-Scale?

The Five F’s are…

FEEMING – How well Themed the ride is to its surroundings – the ride “experience”…
FEATURES – How many rollercoaster features the ride has – drops, corkscrews etc…
FAST – Just how mind-bogglingly, earth-shatteringly fast the ride goes…
FEAR – Just how soul-destroyingly, pant-wettingly scary the ride is…
FUN – The over enjoyment of the ride…

FEEMING (Theming)

With one of Pixar’s biggesst blockbusters as a backdrop you would think the Imagineers would not be able to go wrong with a ride like this… But in my opinion this ride is just a little lack-lustre with its theming.

The ride is in the Toon Studio area of Disney and as such is located in a large warehouse. When you think about other highly-themed rides like the rotting facade of the Phantom Manor or the epic scale of Big Thunder Mountain, the fact C’sC is located in a LARGE BLUE BOX doesn’t do much for me.

So the inside is something else? Well yes and no…

The inside of the loading area is themed like a small finishing port complete with (very plastic looking) animatronic seagulls going “mine mine mine!” However it all looks a bit “flat” and too much like a movie studio and not enough like a theme park adventure ride… After 20 minutes of queuing inside the box those seagulls get pretty annoying…

But once the ride kicks off the fun really begins!

Score – 3 out of 5

FEATURES

Its the features of C’sC that really make stand out from the crowd. The most important of these… IT SPINS!!

The Coaster cars are in the shape of turtle shells and have four seats – two facing forwards and two facing back. This means the ride had two very different experiences and indeed DOUBLE THE FUN! You climb the first incline either facing Bruce the shark or staring down into the abyss! Then you hit the first corner and it send the shell into a spin!

The ride has the normal peaks and drops, and sharp corners of a standard rollercoaster but this ride is inside and in the dark – with a few fish and bubbles swimming about for good measure. But due to the spinning nature of the ride everytime you go on C’sC it feels like a totally new experience!

Score 5 out of 5

FAST

When I first read about this ride on the internet I was expecting a fairly slow ride for kiddies. In fact DLRPMagic.com is calling this ride the new “Peter Pan’s Flight” in “kid’s favourite” terms. However this ride is REALLY FAST!

Ok it might not be “Rock n Rollercoaster” fast but its throws around plenty of G-forces and feels like lightning!

Score 4 out of 5

———————————————————————————–

FEAR

So kids love Finding Nemo and the Turtles but will they love this? I honestly think this ride is too scary for little kids. Sure it has its cute moments like the video wall with a 3D Nemo that chases you, but this is an INTENSE ride!

With Big Thunder Mountain you can see everything curve coming and brace for it – on C’sC ever twist and turn is a heart-stopping shock!

I got on this ride expecting it to be OK… I came off breathless, buzzing and screaming for more! But then again I’m 26 and not 7 years old…

Score 4 out of 5

FUN

You may have noticed the tone of this article started rather negative and ended amazingly positive that it because of the way I experienced the ride.

When I first tried the ride it was shortly after opening in Early December 2007. Normally a quiet time for the parks with shorter queues. However, Disney Studio’s new baby at the time was hot property and always had a queue time of at least 45 MINUTES… AND NO FASTPASS SYSTEM!

Anyone who has used the FastPass system will know its a godsend and frees up hours of waiting time. Not having a pass available on a blockbuster ride was just insanity. I am told by DLRPMagic.com that a FP system has now been installed but it did effect my enjoyment a little.

I had to knock a point off…

It’s difficult to review this and you need to consider it in 2 parts.

Part 1 – the queue…….I feel for the CM’s on this one, it’s such a slow loader and demand is so high. What really gets me is the ignorance and attitude of some people who simply try to cut in line – last time we were there I had to physically restrain a man there with his family who was trying to stop someone cutting in. Whilst there isn’t much the CM’s can do (I know what I would do), I was pleased to see the offender held back by formal security when we came off the ride.

Part 2 – the ride – it’s fabulous and I could ride and ride it……I must admit though, I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth the early morning rush to Crush anymore what with the elbows out approach to rude people.
