'''Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic''' was an attraction at [[Walt Disney Studios Park]], [[Disneyland Paris]]. The attraction premiered with the grand opening of Walt Disney Studios Park on March 16, 2002.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Geryak |first1=Cole |title=Extinct Attractions – Disneyland Paris' Studio Tram Tour |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/blogs/disney-extinct-attractions/2020/02/06/extinct-attractions-disneyland-paris-studio-tram-tour/ |website=The Laughing Place |accessdate=17 July 2020 |date=February 6, 2020}}</ref> The attraction closed on 5 January 2020, to be replaced by a new ''[[Cars (franchise)|Cars]]'' themed attraction and make way for the €2 billion multi-year expansion plan at Walt Disney Studios Park.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thedlpgeek.com/studio-tram-tour-to-close/|title=Studio Tram Tour to close 6th January 2020 to become Cars Route 66|date=19 November 2019 }}</ref>

==History==

Guests enter the attraction via the Hollywood Boulevard section of the park, under a false façade of the Hollywood sign. The tram ride portion of the attraction features highlights such as the [[Studio_Backlot_Tour#Tram_tour|Catastrophe Canyon]] scene and a look into the set of [[London]] in ruins from the film ''[[Reign of Fire (film)|Reign of Fire]]''. Imagineers wanted to create a studio tour at the Walt Disney Studios Park, similar to the former [[Studio Backlot Tour]] at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]] in Florida, where the tour was once the park's signature attraction. The bilingual video that accompanies the tour features [[Jeremy Irons]] and [[Irène Jacob]]. Until 2005, two other bilingual videos were occasionally used, hosted by [[Isabella Rossellini]] and [[Famke Janssen]], and [[Inés Sastre]] and [[Nastassja Kinski]], respectully.

As part of the park's major expansion, much of the Tram Tour was removed for the new lands. Catastrophe Canyon was retained and incorporated into a new abridged ''[[Cars (film)|Cars]]''-based attraction, ''Cars Road Trip''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Walt Disney Studios Park's Studio Tram Tour to Become "Cars Route 66" in Summer 2020 |url=https://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2019/10/14/walt-disney-studios-parks-studio-tram-tour-to-become-cars-route-66-in-summer-2020/ |website=The Laughing Place |accessdate=17 July 2020 |date=October 14, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-02-10|title=New Look Inside 'Cars' Makeover of Former Backlot Tour Attraction, Renamed to "Cars ROAD TRIP"|url=https://blogmickey.com/2021/02/new-look-inside-cars-makeover-of-former-backlot-tour-attraction-renamed-to-cars-road-trip/|access-date=2021-02-10|website=Blog Mickey - Disney News|language=en-US}}</ref>

===Closure===
The attraction's last operating day was January 5, 2020; the ride then closed January 6. On October 14, 2019, it was announced that ''Cars: Road Trip'' would replace the attraction. The majority of the attraction has been demolished with a small portion, including Catastrophe Canyon having been re-themed around Cars. Following the announcement, the attraction are become part of '''Worlds of Pixar'''.
