Crush’s Coaster in Disney Adventure World will soon be closing for a multi-month refurbishment. This will see the popular attraction closing on September 7, 2026. The attraction will not reopen until the summer of 2027. Disneyland Paris says that this is the most extensive renovation for the attraction since it opened in 2007. Along with announcing the refurbishment of this attraction, Disneyland Paris shared a look at what is going into the work being done on it. The behind-the-scenes look is below.
For several months, teams from Design & Delivery, Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, Maintenance, and the Disneyland Paris Central Workshops have been preparing for this operation. This major refurbishment will help ensure the attraction’s continued operation for years to come while maintaining the highest possible guest experience. It will also provide greater comfort for both guests and Cast Members.
A major technical modernization
Spanning approximately ten months, the project will be carried out in two main phases. Teams will work on numerous systems essential to the attraction’s operation, including the complete replacement of several technical components such as certain control systems, sensors, communication equipment, and selected sections of track. The second major phase of the project will focus on an extensive program of testing and technical validation, which is essential to ensuring that all systems are functioning properly before the attraction reopens to guests.
Restoring the east australian current to its full brilliance
Beyond the technical improvements, this refurbishment will also provide an opportunity to care for the attraction’s show elements. Throughout the project, Disneyland Paris teams and external contractors will clean, repaint, and repair numerous scenic components in order to preserve the richness of the experience inspired by the Disney and Pixar animated film Finding Nemo.
One of the most significant refurbishments in the attraction’s history
While Crush’s Coaster previously underwent an extended six-month closure in 2015, the project beginning in September 2026 represents the most extensive refurbishment ever carried out on the attraction since its opening nearly twenty years ago. Through close collaboration between Disneyland Paris teams and external contractors, this project will help preserve the reliable operation of this iconic Disneyland Paris attraction for years to come.
