hansrubens Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just got back from Disneyland Resort Paris and had 4 great days. We stayed at the Sequoia Lodge Hotel. Last year we were here at the same time of year and the park was dead this year it was packed. Lines at BTM and Crush coaster exceeding 60 minutes. On to the pics. And the last one. Newport Bay Hotel at night Disney Village overview Rainforest cafe This is the place where the food rocks The sportsbar at Disney Village The new entrance of the Studio Tramtour Sign Boiler room. The tower is a very good addition to the park. Lobby Lobby They used to play poker here Up to the Tower of Terror And even flying cars With spinning cars. Usually I never attend shows but this one is really nice. Moteurs Action show with baby parking Flying Carpets ride wich also had a line of 30 minutes. Cars themeing in Toontown Cars spinning ride It's my new favorite Disney coaster Loading platform Nicely themed station Crush ouside queueline pt 3 Crush outside queueline pt 2 Crush outside queue line Spot the train And there is no Fastpass line. Crush Coaster is a popular ride. 75 minutes was the average line. Mickey in Toontown Launch area. For a vekoma RnR is running very smooth. It was runnign with three trains but there was on one train no music. Blurry staion picture First of to RnR Getting some drink Inside studio 1 pt 2 Inside studio 1 pt 1 Studio 1 Studios main gate Disney Studios with the just opened Tower.

Groteslurf Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Very nice pics Hans ! I'm glad to read that you normally don't do shows as I'm normally also not that into shows. And since we are going together on a Usa/Canada coaster trip, that is very convenient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absimilliard Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Great pictures! Regarding Crush Coaster, the long line is normal and even on a dead week day in winter, the line is 60 minutes. The only way you can avoid that is by showing up at the park 60-45 minutes early on a weekend day and as soon as they allow you in the park, go to the ride, as they allow people to line up outside the ride. We did that and when they opened, we were on the 4th and 5th turtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Nice PTR! I really like how the Paris's version of BTM is on an island, and the scenery looks really good. Crush's coaster also looks like a great addition to the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyage_luvr Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wow, I really want to go to France and spend a day or two at Disneyland Paris while I am there. It looks so amazing, and I especially like their take on the castle. What is up with their 'Phantom Manor' though? It really doesn't look as nice or as cool as 'The Haunted Mansion'. Very nice TR. Thanks for sharing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absimilliard Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Their Phantom Manor is amazing! The exterior look is that of a western manor, since it is located in Thunder Mesa (Frontierland). The exterior waiting line goes around the abandonned gardens of the house, before reaching the front door. SPOILERS: Once you're inside, some of the scenes are different. The story here is that Melanie was supposed to wed her fiance, but alas... in the stretch room, we see that her fiance was hanged by the Phantom. So, during the ride, we see her, desperately searching for the fiance, aging as the ride goes on... It is the only version of the Haunted Mansion/Phantom Manor where we see the "Ghost Host", in this case, the Phantom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wow! I like DLP and Crush's Coaster looks like fun, as does Big Thunder Mountain. You may have just given us a preview to the Cars themeing and decor awaiting DCA. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nemesis Inferno Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The new Tram Tour entrance looks better, but does it still only go round Catastrophe Canyon then return on the same first leg the other way? That's where it fails miserably... Crush looks nice... I look forward to July now certainly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansrubens Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes it still rides the same route. That's also the reason I didn't go on it this year. I find it kinda boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd27 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Excellent Photo TR hansrubens, I was there 2nd - 4th Feb and it was crowded too, sounds about the same as when you were there. It was an excellent few days though, my first trip to DLRP and I cant wait to go again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
