Crush's Coaster
Status: Opened 9th June 2007
Wednesday, 20th June 2007
Another year, another flashy attraction ‘inauguration’ ceremony… times at Disneyland Resort Paris have certainly changed! Whilst Tower of Terror may have loomed ahead with its size and stature, it was always the “Toons” project that seemed the most interesting from the 2005 announcement. Over two years on, it’s here, it’s complete, and it’s time to experience the grand opening…

A whole 879 days since the project was announced in January 2005, opening day for Toon Studio arrived! Last weekend, 9th June, saw an unprecedented number of guests flood through the gates of Walt Disney Studios Park, rush through Disney Studio 1 and wait eagerly on Disney Bros Plaza for the grand opening ceremony to begin…

No, that’s not some wildly inaccurate height restriction for Crush’s Coaster you see beside this item - it’s a countdown. As eager fans and guests arrived at Disneyland Resort Paris on 9th June for the official public inauguration of Toon Studio and its two new attractions, they thought the countdown was finally over… infact, it will continue each and every day this Summer!

Toon Studio is finally a real part of Walt Disney Studios Park, dude! First you were all like “whoa”, and we were like “whoa”, and you were like “whoa…!!!” …And now, little over one week later, the Imagineers’ final details are still springing up across the new land. Adding an important extra touch of ‘character’ to the land are both the brand new Sorcerer Mickey statue and this - a “totally awesome” addition - the real Crush’s Coaster entrance sign.

Continuing our stroll around the new Toon Studio area, we now head over to Crush’s Coaster for a closer look at the sand, rocks and all-important shells of this seaside oasis in our own Walt Disney Studios. After months of following construction from Flying Carpets and that fondly-remembered tarpaulin gate next to Art of Disney Animation, Crush is ready to make a splash…

The Toons are almost ready to go public! What do you need before a premiere? A test screening! This weekend, an opening in the blue construction fences of Toon Studio appeared and more than 2,000 invited guests got the chance to sample its two new attractions and unique themeing. Not only that, but some new Cast Member costumes and the first appearance of the land’s brand new logo!

Animation Courtyard has followed the production of an animated film throughought its drawn-out placemaking project - from the first tentative sketches (Monsters Inc Scream Scene) this time last year to full storyboards (concept art) in more recent months. Now, the whole project is in full production, everything coming together with Ink & Paint - which means a lot of new colour and a whole lot of lines.

The official 15th Anniversary blog has spilled an ocean of new behind-the-scenes material showing the making of Walt Disney Studio Park’s most anticipated new attraction. Since Crush proclaimed he was “hundred and fifty, and still young, dude!” in May 2003’s Finding Nemo, the unique attraction has now technically been 154 years in the making! Rock on!

As the grand opening of Walt Disney Studios’ two new attractions edges ever nearer, everything is pointing to the Toons - quite literally. Entrance signs for both attractions are now in place as their area development grows and Animagique glows in a bright shade of blue, whilst Sorcerer Mickey prepares to point his wand.

Ready to join the rush for Crush? It’s hard to believe after all these months of construction that, in less than one month, Crush’s Coaster will have already welcomed its first turtle shell passengers and Cars Race Rally will have already kicked up more than a few handfuls of desert dust. Phase 2 of the 15th has begun, and the infamous Red Carpet is back…

Ahh, the wonders of the Disney “showbuilding”! Give an Imagineer four walls and a roof and they can truly do anything - like bring a Sydney fishing pier to Paris, for example. The drawback of a showbuilding? As many times as you ride Flying Carpets, your camera will never be capable of seeing through walls - though luckily, the press can…

Times are changing at Walt Disney Studios Park. Toon Studio continues to impress and Toon Town makes a bold - and unexpected - entrance. We’ve read words, seen concepts and previewed the maps - now the finished reality is in sight. With the 15th launch complete, everything is now focused on one mission - giving this 15-year old resort a real second gate.
