Miscellaneous Tokyo Thoughts

Tokyo DisneySea
* COCO ride in Lost River Delta

I was looking to see where they could put this, and it seems there is enough space for a medium-sized dark ride if they remove the Hangar Stage and extend backstage. It's been sitting empty for almost 4 years now, and they could even re-theme the neighboring restaurant (which is conveniently named Miguel's already). Although I'm not a fan of adding more Pixar in the park, this seems like a good way to breathe much-needed new life into that area.

I know OLC turned down Tiana for the Splash Mountain re-theme, but Princess and the Frog would be a perfect fit in this New Orleans Square section of Adventureland.

That's what I was thinking too. Tiana's Palace as both the ride entrance AND exit (through the restaurant)!

If schedule is right on track were supposed to get some sort of announcement from OLC this Thursday.

Special Event announcement or new Offerings.

Does anyone know if the Beauty and the Beast musical is still playing at Maihama and where to get tickets for it. Very hard to find information on it online.

It is. I believe it was intended to be a permanent production. Here is the official website in any case.

Intersting. I wonder if this adds some weight to the "blue sky" rumour that Paris would like to change their Buzz Lightyear ride to Stich.

HK became Ant Man
Tokyo became Wreck it Ralph
Paris...?

From what I heard from a source, TDR is about to be more aggressive with its new offerings starting with fantasy springs.

so it was true.

2024- Fantasy Springs
2026- Wreck-It Ralph re-theme of Buzz
2027- New Space Mountain/Tomorrowland

Hopefully, we get an additional project from that list opening this decade. It would be amazing if OLC can keep this pace of a new attraction every few years, alternating between TDL and TDS.
