Disneyland Park in Marne-la-Vallée near Paris, France is Europe’s most visited theme park. The theme park is the main park of Disneyland Resort Paris. Since 1992, the park has been delighting the public with a solid selection of family-friendly rides, shows and lots of street entertainment. Especially the show Illuminations (formerly Dreams), which is shown in front of the castle in the evening, is a very special event that should not be missed.
Fun Fact #1: Despite its average of 10 million visitors per year, the park was in the red for a long time, which meant that few investments were made. After a buyout in 2017 the resort belongs to the Walt Disney Company.
Fun Fact #2: With Les Pirouettes du Vieux Moulin, a small Ferris wheel once stood in Fantasyland. Due to its small capacity it was closed in 2002. The ride stood in the park for several years before most of the hardware was removed. Even today one can see traces of the ride behind the Old Mill.
Fun Fact #3: Since Europeans seem to like it a little bit wilder, the Paris version of the roller coaster Space Mountain is the only one that has several rollovers and one launch. Unfortunately we are also supposed to be very water shy, so we were spared the white water ride Splash Mountain.
