Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin, Walkthrough attraction in Adventureland Bazaar, Disneyland Park, France
Le Passage Enchanté d'Aladdin is a walkthrough attraction in Adventureland at Disneyland Park in Chessy, France. It consists of a short covered corridor lined with a series of illuminated display windows, each showing a different scene from the Disney film.
The walkthrough opened in November 1993, created under the park's 1993 Added Capacity Program to draw visitors during a period of financial trouble. It began as a simple effect of a laughing Genie emerging from the lamp, then grew into nine display windows. Imagineer Jim Shull painted the corridor frescoes outdoors in a harsh winter, with the paint freezing on his brush.
The nine windows follow the film's plot in order, from the Agrabah market chase to Aladdin and Jasmine's carpet flight beneath a moon bearing the Genie's face. In the Cave of Wonders scene the Genie appears through a Pepper's ghost effect: the reflection of a hidden audio-animatronic on glass, the same trick used for the Blue Fairy in Les Voyages de Pinocchio.
The walkthrough takes about 5 to 10 minutes depending on walking speed, and there is no height or age restriction. The corridor is dark and level, so it works as a covered break during rain. A rarely used open area of roughly 875 m² behind the attraction connects to the Hakuna Matata terrace.
Unlike most rides in the park, this attraction has no moving parts, no screens, and no soundtrack, relying entirely on static decoration and lighting. That simplicity has meant it has stayed almost exactly the same since it opened, making it one of the least altered spaces in the whole park.
