Armageddon – Les Effets Speciaux (lit., 'Armageddon - Special Effects') was an attraction located in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris.
[1] The ride closed on March 31, 2019, and the showbuilding was later demolished for the Avengers Campus expansion to the 'Walt Disney Studios Park', as announced by Bob Iger in February 2018.
The park would feature various attractions, including Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and Armageddon – Les Effets Speciaux.
On December 10, 2018, Walt Disney Studios Paris announced that the last day for Armageddon – Les Effets Speciaux would occur on March 31, 2019.
A pre-show presentation included a short history of special effects with several clips from various blockbuster films, such as Return of the Jedi, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Independence Day, Dinosaur, Pearl Harbor, The Abyss, Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, Inspector Gadget and Georges Méliès' films.
As it hit the station, several dysfunctions occurred, including lights flickering, gas bursting into the cabin, the ceiling threatening to collapse and incandescent rocks crossing the room.
At one point, the build-up of pressure in the pipes caused a part of the wall to be pulled out, letting air escape until a tight door closed.
