At a glance
Raiponce Tangled Spin is a ride made up of gondolas shaped like wooden boats that spin round and also turn around a central axis. The ride is outdoors and recreates the world of the kingdom of Corona. You sit inside the boats to join in a village celebration.
The ride’s decor stands out for the dozens of lanterns hanging above visitors, recreating the look of the animated film. During the ride, the boats glide and spin, with a view over the gardens and surrounding structures. It’s a ride that focuses above all on the look and colourful atmosphere of the animated film.
The spinning speed can vary with the overall movement of the platform, but the ride remains suitable for families. It offers a reworked take on the classic teacups concept, with details recalling the adventures of Rapunzel and Flynn Rider.
Good to know. The ride recovers about 7% of its energy when braking.
The Tangled spinning ride. Sun-shaped gondolas that spin under a canopy of glowing lanterns, following in the footsteps of Pascal and Maximus. Gentle sensations close to the teacups, designed for families. Particularly lovely at nightfall, when the lanterns light up just like in the film.
History
Opened on 29 March 2026, Raiponce Tangled Spin is the first attraction in Europe dedicated to the film Tangled (2010), a year and a half after Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival at Tokyo DisneySea. It opened in the park renamed Disney Adventure World that same day (formerly Walt Disney Studios), on the new Adventure Way promenade, which opened at the same time as the World of Frozen area. This open-air spinning ride recalls the lantern festival scene.

My verdict
Raiponce Tangled Spin is the first attraction in Europe dedicated to the film Tangled, opened on 29 March 2026 in the park renamed Disney Adventure World. Boat-shaped gondolas turn gently under a canopy of glowing lanterns, beside Adventure Bay. It lasts 1 min 30, with a minimum height of 81 cm.
I love the theming, incredibly detailed by day and by night when the lanterns light up, with lovely nods to the film and a really superb mural painted on the ceiling. The soundtrack is worth it too: the ride’s music features reworked versions of "I See the Light" and "Kingdom Dance" from the film. The ride itself is simple and classic, which is worth knowing before you queue. As with all spinning rides, take care if you’re prone to nausea.

Your questions about this ride
01 How can you avoid long queues for the most popular rides?
To avoid long queues at Disneyland Paris, I combine several tactics. First, Single Rider is free and really speeds things up on the rides that offer it, including Crush’s Coaster, Flight Force, Ratatouille and Spider-Man, as long as you’re happy not to ride with your group. Next, Disney Premier Access is a paid service that gives you priority access to the headline rides. If you’re staying in a Disney hotel, Extra Magic Time lets you into the park before official opening, and it’s the best time to ride the popular attractions back to back without queuing. Finally, heading to the most popular rides during a parade or a big show empties the queues considerably.
02 Are the queue times shown in the park reliable?
Yes, the queue times shown in the app or on the screens around the park are generally reliable. They’re often the same as, or slightly longer than, the real wait, which helps you plan your day better.
03 How can I find out if a ride will be closed for refurbishment during my trip?
Disneyland Paris publishes the list of rides closed for refurbishment on its official website, several weeks in advance. Because the parks are open all year round, the maintenance teams sometimes work on days when the parks are open, which leads to temporary closures. My advice: check this calendar (or the one on my blog) before booking, especially if there’s one particular ride you really care about.
04 What are the minimum heights for each ride at Disneyland Paris?
Here are the minimum heights for the thrill rides at Disneyland Paris. In Disneyland Park: Autopia 0.81 m, Star Tours and Big Thunder Mountain 1.02 m, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain 1.20 m, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril 1.40 m. In Disney Adventure World: Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop 0.81 m, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 1.02 m, Crush’s Coaster 1.07 m, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force and RC Racer 1.20 m. The other rides have no height restrictions, which makes them ideal for families with young children.
05 Which rides might scare young children?
Several rides at Disneyland Paris can frighten young children even without a height restriction. Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains, in Fantasyland, has dark scenes with the witch that can catch them off guard. Les Voyages de Pinocchio also has some unsettling scenes. La Tanière du Dragon, under Sleeping Beauty Castle, is home to a very impressive animatronic dragon. Phantom Manor, in Frontierland, plays on a ghostly atmosphere and is really intense for toddlers. Pirates of the Caribbean switches between cheerful moments and darker scenes. I’d suggest watching how your child reacts before you get on.
