Tokyo Disneyland Resort

Eh.. their maintenance is top notch and they do a wonderful job of preserving the attractions there, but they actually are pretty modest in their investments.

BATB is the first major addition to the park since Monsters Inc in 2009 and before that was Pooh's Hunny Hunt in 2000.

I mean, Tokyo DisneySea within the span of the decade after Monster's Inc did bring large scale investments.

Especially with versions of Toy Story Mania and Soarin, alongside the redo of Stormrider to Finding Nemo/Dory. And even then, those were rather big additions for the land they were on.

The new Tokyo Disneyland Park attractions will be opening on September 28th!

I know, can't wait to see what music they chose for The Happy Ride with Baymax.

EDIT: I'm actually serious.

It looks like the load area will be similar to the teacups where you go onto the floor instead of boarding in a station.

No, they pull up to the platforms on the sides.

I wonder if the ride is 8 minutes long in the same way Rise of the Resistance is 15 minutes long.

That castle is stunning, I'd say it's only second to Disneyland Paris as the most Beautiful Disney Castle. :thumbsup:

Always been a fan of B&TB (The cartoon version) so great to see it finally getting a proper attraction.

I don't think the OLC feels the need to overpromise things in the way domestic Disney does; they can trust the quality of their product, and I'd expect that 8-minute number is probably pretty close to the actual ride time.

Honestly the building is freaking large, I'm fully expecting an 8 min ride in your teacup. An 8 min Disney dark ride isn't unheard of, either.

Well, for classic rides, yes, but most dark rides since the 90s have come in at around 4 to 5 minutes (likely due to ride systems that require more space such as the EMV, Test Track vehicles, and the trackless vehicles). For that reason, the length is remarkable.

Very fair point! Even more reason this attraction seems so special.

Really hope I can go back to Japan next year. Want to hit SNW and go back to TDL for Beauty.

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

New Fantasyland appears to have soft opened for the day. No filming of attractions of course, it's in Japan, but you know...



EDIT: Some pictures of the Fantasyland Forest Theatre



And some rock work in the area


Give this guy a follow if you want to see very detailed pictures of the theming in the area.

Wow that's beautiful!

 

[belloq87]

As expected, the area looks fabulous.

Now we just wait for a kind visitor to disobey the rules and get us the ride video.

Looks like BaTB isn't open today? It's only been a few hours but the few tweets I've seen show the entrance closed.

It's possible the preview may not allow photography or video recording of the interior nor any elements of the attraction proper.

Welp, there's a video.
