Crush’s Coaster Closes for Yearlong Refurbishment at Disneyland Paris

Persistent technical faults prompted a major technical overhaul that will keep the unique Finding Nemo coaster offline through summer 2027 while Disney has not released plans for the work.

Overview

  • Guests rode Crush’s Coaster for the final time on Sunday, September 6, and Disneyland Paris sealed off the attraction with blue wooden construction walls the following day.
  • Disney announced the ride will remain closed through summer 2027 but has not given a firm reopening date or described what changes will be made.
  • The shutdown follows repeated operational problems reported since mid-2025, notably a malfunctioning audio-animatronic seagull in the queue that signaled broader technical issues.
  • Photos posted on X by a park observer show walls that also partially block the nearby Worlds of Pixar meet-and-greet, creating short-term disruption for guest flow and character experiences.
  • Crush’s Coaster is unique to Disneyland Paris, so its yearlong absence removes a one-of-a-kind attraction as Disney Adventure World continues its franchise-driven transformation and plans other new lands.
