Advantages: Unlike anyother coaster at the resort

Disadvantages: The queue!

I recently returned to Disneyland Resort Paris, after a four year break so I couldn't Wait to try all the new rides!

The first one I headed for was Crush's Coaster which is set in the Animation Courtyard of the Walt Disney Studios Park.

The ride is based around the turtle Crush from the Finding Nemo movie, the ride journeys around the reef and you meet several of the characters from the film.

I went out of season so I was enjoying the small queues, so when I got in line for this I was amazed at the 70 minute queue length!!! The queue is quite boring outside - very monotonous up and down, up and down, livens up when you get in the building. You go in on to a pier where you then go over a bridge to get on the ride, there is quite a lot to see in this area - watch out for the seagulls calling dibs on you!!!

The carriages look like giant turtle shells where you sit 2 + 2 back to back, there is a T bar lap restraint which is not good for the larger guests as my brother discovered - it has to lock to a certain position and if it won't go down far enough they will not let you ride.

When the ride sets off you are taken briefly outside and your shell starts to spin!!! You then head back into the reef and it is very dark and you have the characters swimming around you - it is very well done and you feel like you are moving very fast.

You then go through a really fast moving twisty bit while trying to avoid some sharks and a rather large jellyfish!

The ride finishes where it started on the pier. I really enjoyed this ride - it was fasted paced and great for the younger kids - but still enough to get an adults adrenaline pumping. I would have loved to have ridden more than once but I couldn't face another hour plus of queuing!

Summary: Great fun, but not for larger people
