Walt Disney Studios Park opened on March 16, 2002 and is the second of two theme parks (the first being Disneyland Paris park) built at Disneyland Paris in Marne-la-Vallée (outside of Paris), France.
This attraction in Walt Disney Studios’ Paris park provides guests with a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create a Disney animated feature. The building’s facade is an homage to the actual Roy E. Disney Animation Building on the Disney Studios Lot in Burbank, complete with a giant blue hat similar to the one Mickey wears during the Sorcerer’s Apprentice segments of the Fantasia films.

This thrill ride in Paris’ Walt Disney Studios Park is based on the original Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with changes in its design based on the defunct Disney California Adventure version (now Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!). The attraction’s queue winds through the hotel’s “lobby”, which is a variation of the Walt Disney World version, which was based on the real-life Rendezvous Court inside the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Los Angeles. You can still see the similarities in this updated version. The Tower of Terror’s gift shop, Tower Hotel Gifts, contains an easter egg: if you look above the top shelf above the merchandise, you can find a vintage framed photo of Walt Disney World’s Tower of Terror hidden among the various other era-appropriate props.
