Disneyland Railroad reopens after twenty months
After more than twenty months out of service, the Disneyland Railroad returned as Disneyland Paris reopened. Frontierland Depot was again part of the four-station grand circle tour.
More context
In July 2020, the long absence of the Disneyland Railroad finally came to an end. As Disneyland Paris reopened after the coronavirus closure, the steam train once again circled Disneyland Park. Looopings described it as a small miracle: after more than twenty months, guests could board again, even though the reopening had been postponed many times.
For Frontierland Depot, this meant the station returned to its normal role in the park route. The railroad had four stations in four themed lands, including Frontierland Depot, and carried guests past highlights such as the Grand Canyon diorama, the geysers near Big Thunder Mountain and scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean. Historically, the reopening matters because the closure began with work around the Frontierland Theater but grew into one of the most striking long outages of a classic Disney attraction in Paris. The return restored both function and atmosphere to the western station.
