About Crush's Coaster

Dive into an action-packed "underwater" filmset and prepare to spin, swirl and swoop through the thrilling EAC, as Crush shows you the wonders of ocean life, from colourful clownfish to ferocious sharks and mesmerising jellyfish!

Enter Disney Studio 5 and board your own spinning turtle on the authentic Sydney fishing pier set, before splashing briefly outside of the building and then coasting through a series of real-life underwater scenes from the blockbuster movie to reach the thrilling, swirling currents of the EAC.

Exclusive to Walt Disney Studios Park, featuring a ride system never before utilised by the Disney Imagineers and state-of-the-art digital projection technology, Crush's Coaster is set to become a new milestone in Disney attraction history, unique to Paris!

Ok maybe intolerable is a bit harsh, but from my experience it hasn't been good. The theming I thought was really good, and it had the Disney magic, and the ride itself is breath-taking (maybe a bit too much for younger riders? - i know i'd have been terrified as a child!) but the 4 times we queued up for it, it broke down. The first time, we were asked to leave the queue, the second we were at the front and it took about 20 mins to get up and running again (we'd only queued about 15 mins so the demand for it wasn't that great) the 3rd time it broke down with us on...stuck at the very top! The woman who came to get us (after 10 mins of looking back down the slope!) had no idea what to do and looked pretty worried, and eventually we were got out by opening the lap restraints, which terrified me, and we had to climb out over a gap leading to a massive gap onto the emergency stairs. This was not at all safe, i got my leg trapped inside the car and was quite frightened. We went to take photos of it later that day to show family back home what it was like, and it broke down again, and Fire and Rescue had to rescue a girl who looked quite shaken and was taken away. all in all the ride is an excellent idea, if only it was safer. - ualani bray
