And Then There Was This Tanker...

If you have visited Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida then you will already be familiar with our next stop on the Studio Tram Tour in Paris. It is, of course, the infamous Catastrophe Canyon.For those of you unfamiliar with it, the Canyon consists of a rocky area, similar to the Grand Canyon, which has a large petrol tanker. The Studio Tram drives through and, unfortunately, has a problem and has to stop. It is then we are greeted with some amazing special effects! Yes, we become the Extras in this film sequence, and take part in the action. All we have to do is act scared. That shouldn't be too easy on this...Let's have a look at some of the facts from this attraction - please don't read any more if you want to be surprised by what exactly happens! Over 265,000 litres of water is used on this attraction, amongst the earthquake and fire effects. It can get hot, and the left side of the tram may get a little, well, wet!

I can not remember the last time I have taken the tram back to visit Catastrophe Canyon. Years. I really should have taken my grandson there in October. Thank you for sharing.
