Crush’s Coaster at Disneyland Paris will close its doors from 7th September 2026 for the most extensive refurbishment since its opening. Guests wishing to experience this popular roller coaster in Disney Adventure World should keep this in mind when planning their visits this autumn and winter. In this article, you’ll discover exactly what’s planned and when Crush’s Coaster is set to reopen.
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.

Welcome to KTW Magazine! I’m Kevin Schrier, the founder of this platform. My passion for Disney began in the opening year of Disneyland Paris, in 1992, when I visited the park with my whole family – my parents and my brother. I was only three years old at the time.
After that first trip, the park quickly became the setting for a very special tradition between my mother and me. Our exclusive trips together created a magical bond that makes this place extra special to me.
With KTW Magazine I combine my years of experience with the latest news and practical tips and tricks. I love sharing my knowledge and inspiring other visitors for a carefree and unforgettable trip to Disneyland Paris.
