Crush's Coaster, Steel roller coaster at Walt Disney Studios Park, France
Crush's Coaster is a steel roller coaster at Walt Disney Studios Park in Chessy that connects indoor and outdoor sections and reaches up to 61 kilometers per hour (38 miles per hour). The turtle-shaped vehicles spin during the ride and carry guests through illuminated ocean scenes and fast turns.
The installation opened in June 2007 as part of the expansion of the Toon Studio area and brought a new type of ride to the park. It was among the first attractions to combine a well-known animated film with a roller coaster.
The attraction's first name was Crush's Turtle Twist before it became Crush's Coaster. In the loading hall, two audio-animatronic seagulls perch above Angel's Cove, the shop that actually serves as the ride's control centre. The queue winds through a Sydney Harbour setting with Thomas Newman's score from the film playing overhead.
Visitors must be at least 107 centimeters tall to ride and should be prepared to move through darkness. The installation offers a single rider lane that shortens waiting time during busy periods.
The turtle shells spin freely and independently from each other, so each ride unfolds differently and is never predictable. Some sections run backward while the seats continue spinning and changing direction.
