The world’s first ride based on the much-loved 2009 Disney film Up is set to open at Disneyland Park next year.
The ride, named Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings, will follow pensioner Carl and boy scout Russell on an adventure.
To get to the ride, visitors will queue through four themed zones that represent key moments from the film including Carl’s childhood aviator helmet and goggles and Ellie’s adventure book.
The carousel ride will boast 48 swings, including special ‘duo’ seats – so a total of 64 people can go on the ride at any one time.
When the ride spins, the dome above where riders will be seated will tilt, creating the feeling of flying.
To keep on theme with the film, the ride will feature balloon and cloud motifs.
The ride will also be in a garden inspired by Up, in the newly named Disney Adventure World part of the theme park.
A spokesperson for Disneyland Paris, said: “Located in Adventure Way, just opposite Raiponce (Rapunzel) Tangled Spin, construction of the future Wilderness Explorers Sky Swings attraction is well underway.
“The name references the Wilderness Explorers, the club of young adventurers that Russell belongs to.”
