At Disneyland Paris there are SO many great rides! Whether you’re looking for exciting rides with big drops and plenty of thrills or something the whole family can enjoy, there really is something for everyone. Take a look at some of the best Disneyland Paris rides…
For thrill seekers:
Space Mountain: Mission 2
If you love rides, you can’t miss Disney’s iconic Space Mountain! This famous ride has been a fan favourite ever since it opened, becoming even more popular after its Star Wars makeover. ‘Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain’ was born in honour of their 25th anniversary, which happened in 2017. The main parts of the ride are still the same, but there are lots of amazing new Star Wars features.
Board your space craft and prepare to shoot through an intergalactic tunnel straight into outer space. A 36-metre high cannon launches you into total darkness where stunning shooting stars, comets and soaring meteors are the only source of light. Get ready to blast your way through a swarm of deadly TIE fighters before blowing up a menacing Star Destroyer! You'll hurtle through space at speeds of up to 44mph with an adrenaline inducing futuristic soundtrack blasting in the background. Beware, the only way out of Space Mountain is through a blazing red vortex!

Some targets are harder than others, but you’ll be rewarded with extra points if you manage to get them.
