Mad Hatter's Tea Cups, Spinning tea cup ride in Disneyland Park, Chessy, France
Mad Hatter's Tea Cups is a spinning ride in Disneyland Park featuring large colorful cups that guests rotate faster or slower using a central wheel. Multiple rotating platforms create a carousel effect where each cup moves around the central axis.
The ride opened on Disneyland Paris's first day on April 12, 1992, introducing the classic teacup concept to European audiences. It has remained a popular attraction in the park ever since its debut.
The cups reference Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Mad Hatter's garden party scene. Visitors immediately recognize the colorful setting and playful mood from the beloved story.
Visit in the early morning or late afternoon when lines tend to be shorter and the experience is more comfortable. The surrounding gardens and seating areas offer shade and a chance to rest between rides.
The ride is enclosed by a large glass dome with a petal-shaped roof design that makes it visually distinctive. This architectural feature sets it apart from similar teacup rides found in other Disney parks.

Clearly not my "cup of tea", even though the attraction is nice! It made me a bit nauseous because we spin quite fast around ourselves! Hahahaha
