Comparisons between rides?

This is difficult to assess without more experience of all the parks. Please e-mail any differences you have noted. See section 5 for more information on specific rides.

Pirates of the Caribbean is in a slightly different format to the other parks. The audio-animatronics are noticeably better. Features two splash-drops.

The Swiss Family Tree House (Cabane des Robinson) is more elaborate at Disneyland Paris.

Phantom Manor is similar, but on a wild-west theme and the storyline is better. The narration is all in French.

Space Mountain is a 'whole new ride'; the similarities begin and end with the name and the fact that it is an indoor roller coaster ride. The Paris version is far better than any of its namesakes in the other parks.

Most of the other standard rides (e.g. Peter Pan) are pretty much identical between the different parks. Orbitron is at ground level (all the others are raised up). Small World has a different layout; instead of being a series of rooms it's one big room with the scenery partitioning it (giving a more open atmosphere). Captain EO is still in English, except for the two-line introduction, but the CineMagique theatre is perhaps an improvement on its predecessors.
