When Will Crush’s Coaster Close?

Crush’s Coaster is scheduled to close on 7th September 2026. This beloved attraction, nestled within Disney Adventure World, takes guests on an exhilarating journey through the East Australian Current, inspired by Disney and Pixar’s Finding Nemo. Having delighted visitors for nearly twenty years since its opening in 2007, it is now set to receive its most comprehensive technical refurbishment yet. The work is expected to last approximately ten months, divided into two distinct phases.

What Will Happen During the Refurbishment?

During the first phase, Disneyland Paris’s dedicated technical teams will replace crucial components of the control systems, sensors, communication equipment, and sections of the track. The second phase will involve extensive testing and technical validation, ensuring everything operates safely and seamlessly before guests are welcomed back aboard. Additionally, the themed decor will receive a refresh: the Finding Nemo elements will be thoroughly cleaned, repainted, and restored where necessary.

When Will Crush’s Coaster Reopen?

The reopening of Crush’s Coaster is currently scheduled for summer 2027. This means the attraction will remain closed during visits planned for autumn or winter 2026-2027. If you’re planning a trip during this period, please bear this in mind when creating your daily itinerary for Disney Adventure World.

Why This Refurbishment is So Special

Crush’s Coaster previously underwent a longer six-month closure in 2015, but the work commencing in September 2026 will be the most extensive ever undertaken for this attraction. For fans of Disney Adventure World, this means the roller coaster will soon feel brand new, boasting updated technology and refreshed decor, ready for another two decades of fun.
