Les Voyages de Pinocchio at Disneyland Paris

Les Voyages de Pinocchio is Disneyland Paris’ version of Pinocchio’s Daring Journey, a classic Disney dark ride based on the story of the puppet that wants to be a “real” boy. The original version of the attraction opened at Tokyo Disneyland in 1983, and although the Paris version uses a slightly different ride system and is slightly shorter it is otherwise very similar.

The 6-seater vehicles move through the ride building at a fairly rapid pace, taking in scenes such as Stromboli’s Marionette Show, the Pleasure Island funfair and an appearance by Monstro the whale. Finally, guests emerge into a triumphant scene (accompanied by “When You Wish Upon a Star”) in Gepetto’s Workshop, where Pinocchio has at last achieved his life’s ambition.
