Let's Start the Tour!

When the Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris opened, one of the largest attractions and draws was the Studio Tram Tour. The Tram Tour takes you "Behind the Magic" and allows guests to get up close and personal to artifacts from movies, and shows you how many of the special effects on our favourite movies are created!
The ride experience lasts 15 to 20 minutes and takes us around a very large area, making it the largest attraction of the Park - and possibly the Resort. It has been adapted from the Florida Park, Disney's Hollywood Studios, but there are several new elements. The entire attraction takes place in the tram (unlike the Florida counterpart) and due to the language barrier, there is no Cast Member guiding us throughout the attraction. Instead there is a video screen commentary in English and French, with the English part being narrated by a Disney favourite - Jeremy Irons.

The tour is great for the whole family, but it's important to note that younger children may get frightened at a few of the scenes, as there are explosions and loud noises. Although, if they are warned, they may not be as scared!
Over the next few days here at DF'82, let's take a trip through the Studio Tram Tour, and behind the Magic of the Movies!

I love Jeremy Irons. Can't wait to see how the two tram tours compare!
