Disneyland Paris ride closures are set to define 2027 for anyone planning a trip to Europe's most-visited theme park, and the biggest headline is the temporary shutdown of one of the resort's signature thrill rides. From 4 January 2027, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril at Disneyland Park will close for several months to undergo what Disneyland Paris describes as the most extensive renovation since the attraction opened in 1993. No reopening date has been announced, making this the single most important thing travellers need to know before locking in 2027 dates.
The Indiana Jones closure is not happening in isolation. Across the resort, Crush's Coaster remains offline until summer 2027, Frozen Ever After has its first scheduled maintenance closure pencilled in for September, and the beloved Mickey and the Magician stage show will go dark for the year while its theatre is refurbished. Disneyland Paris has also been in the middle of a major expansion — its second park was rebranded as Disney Adventure World in March 2026, anchored by the debut of the World of Frozen land — so even a year of headline closures leaves a huge amount to see and do. Here's the full picture for travellers.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril Enters Its Biggest-Ever Refurbishment
The announcement came on 26 October 2026, when Disneyland Paris confirmed that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril would close on 4 January 2027 for "several months" of work. The park has called the project the attraction's most extensive renovation since it first welcomed riders more than three decades ago.
The scope is significant. According to park communications and fan-tracker reports, the refurbishment will cover the ride's track, supports and catwalk, restore its theming elements, and install a new lighting package. The attraction — a steel looping coaster themed around the Indiana Jones films — has been a staple of Disneyland Park since 1993 and is famous as one of the first Disney coasters to feature a full 360-degree loop.
Disneyland Paris has deliberately avoided announcing a reopening date, describing the closure only as lasting "several months." That uncertainty matters for travellers: if Indiana Jones is on your must-ride list, you'll want to check the park's official refurbishment calendar before you commit to dates, especially in the first half of the year.
A Timeline of Disneyland Paris's 2027 Closures
Indiana Jones isn't the only attraction on the maintenance schedule. Here's how the major 2027 closures line up.
September 2026 – summer 2027: Crush's Coaster at Disney Adventure World has been closed since 7 September 2026 for the most extensive technical refurbishment since it opened in 2007. The roughly 10-month shutdown includes technical improvements and refreshed show elements, with a reopening targeted for summer 2027 — just in time for the ride's 20th anniversary.
4 January 2027: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril closes at Disneyland Park. Also in early January, the Thunder Mesa Riverboat is listed as closed from 4 to 22 January for its own maintenance window.
10 January 2027: Mickey and the Magician, the long-running musical show at Disney Adventure World's Animagique Theater, takes an extended break. The theatre will undergo a months-long refurbishment, and the show is not expected to run through 2027.
13–24 September 2027: Frozen Ever After in the World of Frozen land will close for planned maintenance — the ride's first scheduled closure since the land opened in March 2026. Disneyland Paris has officially confirmed the dates, so travellers with Frozen fans in the family may want to avoid that window.
It's worth remembering that Disneyland Paris is open 365 days a year and typically publishes its closure schedule about three months in advance, so additional dates can and do get added throughout the year.
Why So Many Rides Are Closing — and What It Means for Your Trip
The wave of 2027 work is best understood as a mix of routine maintenance and milestone-timed overhauls. Crush's Coaster's refurbishment is timed to have the ride fresh for its 20th anniversary in 2027, while Indiana Jones — now well into its fourth decade of operation — is overdue for the kind of deep structural work the park is planning.
For travellers, the practical implications are straightforward. The two highest-impact closures for most visitors are Indiana Jones and Crush's Coaster, both headline thrill rides with consistently long queues. If either is a priority for your group, a 2027 trip may involve some trade-offs — particularly in the first half of the year, when both will be offline at the same time.
Planning around the closures comes down to timing. If you're flexible, a late-2027 visit is more likely to catch both Indiana Jones and Crush's Coaster back in action, assuming Indiana Jones reopens within the year. If you're tied to early-2027 dates, it's worth weighing whether these two thrill rides are deal-breakers for your group — and, if so, considering a shift to late 2027 or 2028.
The good news is that Disneyland Paris has plenty of alternatives. Disneyland Park still offers Big Thunder Mountain, Phantom Manor, Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean, while Disney Adventure World has been expanding rapidly. The former Walt Disney Studios Park now includes the new World of Frozen land alongside Avengers Campus, Ratatouille and the Tower of Terror, so most visitors will still find more than enough to fill a multi-day stay.
Where Things Stand Now: The Latest on 2027 Closures
As of early November 2026, the confirmed picture is this: Crush's Coaster remains closed until summer 2027, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril is scheduled to close on 4 January 2027 with no reopening date set, and both Mickey and the Magician (from 10 January) and Frozen Ever After (13–24 September) are on the books for later closures.
Disneyland Paris updates its attraction refurbishment calendar regularly and typically confirms additional closures roughly three months out. The park also posts the list at the entrance each day, and its official website includes a "Renovated or Closed Attractions" page that travellers should check before and during their visit.
What Happens Next: Reopening Dates to Watch
The biggest unknown is when Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril will return. Because the renovation is described as its most extensive ever — touching track, supports and theming — the work could stretch for a substantial portion of 2027. Disneyland Paris has said it will announce a reopening date in due course, and fans will be watching closely for updates.
Crush's Coaster's summer 2027 reopening is the more concrete milestone, and it should arrive with a refreshed experience timed to the ride's 20th anniversary. Mickey and the Magician is expected to return once the Animagique Theater refurbishment wraps, though no return date has been published yet.
The Bottom Line: What Travellers Need to Know
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril closes on 4 January 2027 for its biggest refurbishment since 1993, with no reopening date announced.
- Crush's Coaster is already closed and is expected to stay offline until summer 2027.
- Frozen Ever After closes for maintenance from 13–24 September 2027.
- Mickey and the Magician goes dark from 10 January 2027 while its theatre is refurbished.
- Disneyland Paris publishes closures roughly three months in advance, so always check the official calendar before booking.
