Disneyland Railroad - Main Street U.S.A. Station — Attraction in Torcy

For context, we (family of 3, dad, mum and 5 year old daughter) visited Disney Land Paris (DLP) for 3 days.

You'll love this ride if you're an enthusiast of North European Pine or fir tree conifers or shrubbery. For everyone else its a bit boring.

Not too sure how I feel about this review, on the one hand i have always loved these "train" style rides be it the Chessington or Thorpe Park Trains now sadly both decommissioned and gone. So it was nice to see that Disneyland Paris (DLP) still has one.

One of the rides we tried out on day one, in my mind I was thinking you would be able to do a tour of the outskirts of the park as that is what it looks like from the map and the two I had experienced before were like this (Chessington's Train literally ran through the park) but sadly that isn't the case.

Boarding was done at the Main Street USA since that and the Frontier ones were the only ones working. The Fantasyland and Star Wars stations were closed forcing all guests to the Main Street USA one.

The wait was about 90 minutes long on the elevated platform, after that we were guided into our carriages and off we went chugging on the rail line.

Along the way to Frontier Station there was a short section of tunnel with animatronic animals inside then seeing glimpses of Frontierland. Once at the Station some guests got off, new ones got on and then we waited for about 30 minutes on the platform for no apparent reason, i was half expecting to be told to get off because the train was bust.

We eventually left and chugged on pass hundreds of fir and conifer trees and shrubs for miles on end before arriving and swiftly going past the Fantasyland Station.

Then finally some semblance of going through the park as you passed over part of Fantasyland and the Small World attraction.

Then the train started really chugging, I mean bellowing smoke out and barely moving, struggling to move before finally getting going again past the Star Wars Station without stopping and then back to more trees and the back to the Main Street USA station where I was glad I got off being slightly disappointed, the wife was evidently thinking that was the longest queue for any ride and it was the...

What a joy, sitting in a train cart with screaming small children who were recently denied their wishes by the now sleeping dad is the absolute best way to waste a good 15 minutes of your visit after standing in line for what seemed like forever but in reality only was a torment of 50 minutes while being pestered by an abundance of vaping adults and/or the overwhelming smell of Magic™ nacho cheese chips/crips buckets. Bonus points for the moments where your fellow visitors manage to sync up to reach a truly magical cacophony of smells while the sweat dripping off the chin from the person behind you manages to find it's way onto your neck.

The ride circles the theme park and you get treated with visuals of green blocking any and all view into/onto the park combined with a handful of very much outdated exhibitions. The best and truly Magic™ part of this ride is that the complete experience even managed to silence my mother in law for the better part of an hour. So very much recommended if you had to bring one.

For the more fortunate visitor who doesn't need to deal with the ever ongoing barrage of complaints and comments of a person with such fine moral standards I highly recommend getting a Fast Pass to limit the exposure to this audacity or bring your own vape, can of nacho's and selfie stick to document the ordeal for our future generations.

Be advised, vaping in queues and selfie sticks are not allowed. You'll be reminded approximately every hour through the global park intercom system.

After the ride you'll be able to make a swift exit only to be stopped by a fence that operates so heavily I imagine it being able to contain even the most fierce specimens of little...

A nice relaxing trip around the park, be warned no running to jump on the train to sit wherever you want, the local French operations crew ensure that each group is sorted to ride together and tell you exactly which car and section you will be sitting in, just as they do for the coasters and other rides. Between that and the locked gates for each seating section, it makes for a slower loading experience but s more relaxed journey overall. Note that not all stations around the Park are open when you ride, and this did not seem to be communicated (in English at least) upon boarding so we ended up taking a round trip ride. Frontierland station was open in the day, but when we tried to ride again in the early evening it had been closed. Fantasyland and Discoveryland stations were closed entirely on the...
