You can find the studios of Armageddon Special Effects in the Walt Disney Studios nearby Paris, as part of the Disneyland Resort Paris. As a visitor of the Walt Disney Studios you can visit Armageddon Special Effects. Mickael Clarke Duncan will explain you everything about the special effects in the movie Armageddon and a host will teach you how to act. Once knowing all that, you will move to a special effect set where you'll be acting in an additional scene of Armageddon, with a lots of sounds-, light- and fire effects!

Armageddon is a spectacular attraction with real fire-effects and a lot of noise! Sometimes it gets really dark. Children under the age of 2 are not allowed to go, this to prefend ear-problems. Children and adults who have already ear-problems are recommanded not to do Armageddon for the same reason. The noise may frighten some children and adults. The floor of the mainshow will drop two times quite hard. People with back or neck problems should ask a Cast Member's advice before going! There are many ligth effects, this may cause epilepsy to some spectators. People may feel claustrophobic, in that case you can always leave the show! There are no futher restrictions for people with a handicap or people in wheelchairs!

The people will enter a pre-show (pre-shows reduce waiting-times!!). During this pre-show the guests are welcomed by an Armageddon Special Effect assistant-director. The guest will discover that they will be particpating in an additional scene of Armageddon, the so called Scene 85-A Meteor Attack. But before the assistant-director explains more about the scene, Mickael Clarke Duncan will appear with some detailed information about the special effects in Disney's block-buster movie Armageddon. Once Mickael Clarke Duncan leaves, the assistant-director will take over the job and explains the guests (who are now turned into actors) the scene 85-A. The guests will be playing their scene in a Russian space-station acting the cosmonauts on board, together with colonel Andropov and a board-computer. The assistant-director will test the guests' acting skills....

Once the assistant-director is satisfied with the acting skills of our guests, a woman is asking the (now) actors to go the set. The set is the famous Russian space-station. While two directors on the set will remind the actors what they are supposed to do, techniciens will put the special effects on their places. When everybody is ready, it's time for action. The lights go off and the scene begins. Now it's up to the actors to look carefully around to see what happens. A meteorite storm is attacking the space ship and all of a sudden is action everywhere. All meteorites will end up in special effects. You have to look well around you: up, down, left and right...the asteroids are now coming from everywhere....and suddenly colonel Andropov will loose control of your spaceship...is it really going to end.....is this ARMAGEDDON?
