Disneyland description and photos - France: Disneyland. Detailed information about the attraction. Description, photographs and a map showing the nearest significant objects. The title in English is Disneyland. Photo and descriptionDisneyland Paris is one of the most popular attractions not only in France, but throughout Europe. People often prefer this amusement park to the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower. But the park could be in another country. After the huge success of Disneyland Japan, Walt Disney decided that the experience should be replicated in Europe. About 1,200 construction sites were proposed for consideration, all in different countries. Finally there were four left: two in Spain and two in France. The Spanish and French fought desperately for the right to provide land for Disneyland and thereby help their economy; the Spaniards, who had almost won the fight, already boasted that Mickey Mouse would be wearing a sombrero, not a beret. However, the French still won. Location played an important role in this victory: the town of Marne-la-Vallee, where the Disney residents stayed, is located near Paris, almost in the center of Europe, it is convenient for visitors from other countries to come here. While officials fought for Disneyland, French intellectuals opposed. They called it cultural Chernobyl, threatening to ruin the French way of life and replace it with the American one, and dreamed that “the rebels would set Disneyland on fire.” No rebels set fire to anything, the park opened in 1992. It spans 19 square kilometers and houses two themed zones, seven hotels, shops, restaurants and even a golf course. Among the most popular attractions are the eerie roller coaster Space Mountain: Mission 2, Big Thunder, Indiana Jones, a journey through the pirate world "Pirates of the Caribbean" and absolutely not scary, peaceful boat trip to the song "It's a small world". 60 rides are designed for different ages. Kids are delighted when they meet actors in the costumes of Peter Pan, Cinderella, Aladdin, Donald Duck and other Disney characters. The French still wrinkle their nose and say something like - wow, Disneyland, who needs it ! Despite many financial difficulties (calculations for absolute success were not justified) and accidents (rare, but they do happen), the park is needed by a huge number of visitors - there are about 12 million of them a year. There are always crowds here, you can stand in line for an attraction for an hour, or even two, but many come here more than once - even adults. And if a tourist arrives in Paris with a child, he will hardly be able to avoid visiting the famous park. Disney people use the term "Disney magic". In these two words - the whole policy of the park: it's not just about the dizzying rides, where the screeching visitors get a dose of adrenaline. Disney magic includes always smiling employees, magical music, colorful parades of cartoon characters, and even the rule that all behind the scenes work should be hidden from visitors. When a tourist walks out onto the main street of the park leading to the Sleeping Beauty Castle, it doesn't matter how old he is - he will still enjoy. Notes
