What to Expect on Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

Remy's Ratatouille Adventure is a gentle, trackless dark ride in the France pavilion that shrinks you to the size of a rat and scurries you through Gusteau's restaurant. Your car tilts, bounces, and spins to match the action on big 3D screens, so it feels like scampering across the kitchen even though you never leave the ground. There is no height requirement, and it runs about five minutes.

A lot of people ask whether it has a drop, and the answer is no. It is a screen-based ride with 4D touches like mist and water spray, not a coaster, so the only falling sensation comes from the visuals during one quick scene. You never actually drop.

It is mild overall, but a few moments can startle the youngest riders. The story has a kitchen chase with a knife, a dash under a fiery oven, a cork popped toward the audience, and that brief sense of falling, all in 3D with sudden effects. Most kids love it, but very sensitive toddlers may want a heads-up about the chase scenes first.
