In 2005… in Disneyland Resort Paris, the scariest thing imaginable for the vertigo sufferer that I am appeared in the park! Let me help you… I’ve already mentioned it. Another clue: I enjoyed it (yes, I know it’s surprising, seeing how I introduced the subject).

Oh alright then, I’ll tell you. In April, for the first time ever, the biggest tethered balloon in the world, Panoramagique, settled on the lake in Disney Village.

In 2000… On April 1st (and it’s no April Fool’s joke), the FastPass system was released! And this changed our lives. Before then, it simply wasn’t possible to reserve a place on a ride; there was no way of avoiding the queue.

Little by little, six attractions benefited from this service: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril in Adventureland, Space Mountain: Mission 2 in Discoveryland, followed by Big Thunder Mountain in Frontierland, Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland, Star Tours in Discoveryland and finally Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, also in Discoveryland.
