Crush’s Coaster is located in Toon Studio in Parc Walt Disney Studios. It is an indoor spinning roller coaster manufactured by Maurer Söhne. The theme of the ride is Finding Nemo.

The ride has a minimum height restriction of 1.07m. But be aware: it is very turbulent. The bit you can see outside where the shells “dive” into the sea is not a representative example. The ride is very fast (over 60 kilometres an hour), the shells spin quite violently, and while there are no inversions, the track tilts up to nearly 90 degrees in places so guests can have their back almost parallel to the ground. I found it disorientating and scary, as well as risking whiplash.

This attraction has consistently long queues even when the park is quiet. This is because it has tiny capacity – at most 4-5 cars can be on the track at a time, and each car seats only 4 guests. The cars move slowly when loading and unloading, but don’t stop.

A single rider line is available. This tends to move only a little faster than the main line, as it is usually only if a group of 3 or an odd single rider turns up in the main line that a guest will be called forward from the single rider line.

A special wifi network is available in the queuing area; general internet access is not available and any use of the network will redirect to a fun game to provide some distraction during the very substantial wait.

Crush’s Coaster is the same model of ride as Alton Towers’ Sonic Spinball and Chessington World of Adventures’ Dragon’s Fury.
