Paris is the capital city of France. Situated on the banks of the river Seine in north-central France, it is also the capital of the Île-de-France région (also known as "Paris Region"), which encompasses Paris and its suburbs. The City of Paris had an estimated mid-2004 population of 2,144,700 [2]. The Paris urban area, extending well beyond the city boundaries, has today an estimated population of 9.9 million [3]. The Paris metropolitan area (including satellite towns) stood at 11.5 million in 1999 and is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. Barcelona is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, due to its good climate and its cultural offerings. Barcelona houses several renowned museums as well as the unique modernist architecture. The city also has 4.5 km of beaches, from the historical Barceloneta to the newest, sandless bathing zone in the Forum. Amsterdam has one of the largest historic city centres in Europe, dating largely from the 17th century. At this time, a series of concentric, semi-circular canals ("grachten") were dug around the old city centre. Along the canals houses and warehouses were built.

Disneyland® Resort Paris 15th Anniversary
Back to main 15th Anniversary page...Crush's Coaster
Feel the rush with Nemo and Squirt
Hang loose with Nemo and Squirt on the new rip-roaring ride, Crush's Coaster*, inspired by Disney•Pixar's Finding Nemo.
Get ready to plunge into the underwater world of Nemo and Squirt. A world full of adventure, fun and hidden “dangers”… oh yes, and a few thousand fish.
Here, you'll “sea” life a little differently as you twist and turn over colourful coral reefs with Squirt, Nemo and friends. But don't close your eyes… or you'll miss the fun as you dive straight down into the inky darkness of the deep to explore a sunken submarine nestling in an, underwater minefield. Watch out – you'll have to keep your eyes peeled to avoid coming face-to-face with Bruce, the vegetarian shark and his snapping mates. But what's there to worry about? Just remember fish are friends, not food. But hang on, you're not fish, are you?
Then, if you thought escaping the sharks was a white-knuckle ride, prepare yourself for the rush: spinning and twisting along with the powerful Eastern Australian current, where even the coolest dudes have to screeeeeeeeam! So hang ten (and hang on) for the ride of your life!
*Inspired by Disney•Pixar's Finding Nemo
