The Disneyland Paris version, named Le Pays des Contes de Fées, opened in the spring of 1994.
The Emerald City is the last miniature you see as the 5 minute boat ride comes to an end. There are a few characters present in the Emerald City; Dorothy, Tin Woodman, Lion, and Scarecrow. The all are standing outside the gates to the city.
The theme music played in the background was not from the David Shire score. But rather the 1 minute score written for the electrical parade.
