Animagique Disney characters in full fluffy costumes act out classic scenes from Disney films.Armageddon Special Effects Your group of fifty or so is ushered into a circular chamber decked out as a space station. As meteors rush towards the screens on all sides, the whole ship seems about to break up. Less cynical children may find the whole experience overwhelming. Art of Disney Animation You progress through two mini-theatres, one showing famous moments from Disney cartoons, the next with a "cartoonist" having a conversation with an on-screen animated creation, explaining to the creature how it came to look as it did. In the lobby area, children are taught to draw identical Mickey Mouse faces. Cinémagique A theatrical screening of a century of movie moments, with actors appearing to jump into and out of the on-screen action, helped by special effects. Flying Carpets over Agrabah A good, solid fairground ride where the carpet-shaped cars wheel around the central lamp for a disappointingly short time. Very popular with smaller children, especially the lever which makes their carpet rise up and down. Using Fastpass can avoid the long queues. Moteurs ... Action! Stuntshow Spectacular Decked out like a Mediterranean village, a big arena is the scene for some spectacular stunts: jumping rally cars, sliding motorbikes, leaping jet skis, stuntmen falling from heights and so on. Various timed shows throughout the day. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith A real heart-stopper. There are corkscrews, loops and violent lurches, and the whole thing takes place in a neon-lit and hard-rock-soundtracked darkness that makes it all the more alarming. The whole thing is over in less than two minutes. Uses Fastpass. Minimum height 1.2m; not suitable for small children. Studio 1 For "boulevard of dreams", read row of shops and restaurants. Studio Tram Tour Featuring Catastrophe Canyon An electric tram takes you on a sedate circuit of various bits and pieces of film set. The high point is the halt among the Wild West rocks of Catastrophe Canyon – sit on the left for the scariest ride. Walt Disney Television Studios Television shows are produced here with the help of a ready-to-hand live audience. Moderately entertaining to watch how it's all done, with cameras, chatty compères and so on.
