Disneyland Paris is the kingdom of magic and the stuff of fairytale dreams…but it’s also home to some seriously awesome rides and some even more awesome facts.
1. The official opening date and time of the park was 12th April 1992 at 9.01Am.
2. At any time, only a single Mickey is present in the entire park, so that children really get the sense that the character exists and is unique.
3. The Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris is the fastest of the five in operation. It is also the only one that goes upside-down.
4. To propel the Space Mountain cars to 46 mph in two seconds, the ride uses technology like that used in aircraft carriers to propel jet fighters.
5. On Main Street in Disneyland Paris, as in all Disney parks, you'll find a real barber at work, because Walt Disney wanted to pay tribute to his father, who was a barber himself.
6. The barbershop in Disneyland Paris is decorated with authentic furniture and accessories from a barber in Chicago who was retiring at the time the park was being created.
7.To guide Mickey's parade floats, drivers use cameras that allow them to view their surroundings on monitors.
8.Some parade floats dispense scents as they move through their routes.
9.The lighting on the thirteen parade floats alone amounts to a total of 700,000 bulbs.
10.As in all Disney parks, there are hundreds of Mickey heads hidden in Disneyland Paris.These "hidden Mickeys" are all over the park: in tiling patterns, on clocks, railings, doors, or even as ventilation holes.
11.The park features 450 different plant species and has about 35,000 trees.
12.Similarly, to preserve the magic, characters such as Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto never address visitors, and the actors inside the suits never reveal themselves, even when they're backstage.
13.In Walt Disney’s own words, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” And Walt wouldn’t be disappointed as just in the last five years Disneyland Paris has opened Toy Story Land with three new rides and Ratatouille.
