Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

I'm glad Port Discovery is getting an upgrade, but extremely sad they chose to kill off Aquatopia and leave that generic Nemo simulator untouched

Also weird to do this before they use up the emply plot next door

Also from the press release, it was revealed that the re-theme of Buzz to Wreck-It Ralph would cost over $200 million.

$200 million for a re-theme is wild to me. With that type of budget I wonder if they are re-doing the track/ride-system.

Ticket pricing increasing soon? The among other factors part is interesting, who knows what that could mean or maybe I'm looking too much into it.

Prepaid (before park entry) premier access incoming I guess

I do wonder why they didn't just extend Port Discovery into that plot unless they are firm about reserving it for an entirely new land.

I have no clue why this is upsetting me so much, I’ve never even been to TDL. Something about removing so many classic attractions in favor of random IP just bothers me a lot lol. I mean seriously, super heroes in Adventureland?

Seems like some of the food is also going to change at TDR.

so is anyone here holding out hope that they pull a Wonderland on the Incredibles part of the redo and mothball it in favor of overhauling the Jungle Cruise as it currently stands?

I’m hoping, I know big blue sky ideas like this never happen 100% but there’s no way you could ever get the Incredibles to fit in Adventureland. That IP is much better suited for an IP park anyways

What are the chances this is a strategy to convince business executives to green light a 3rd gate? So many IPs/ideas to throw into the existing parks... why not flesh them out elsewhere?

Here’s hoping. Finally having DisneySky to complete the Land/Sea/Sky trio would be awesome. It’d justify them adding another hotel to DisneySea with zero expansion plans for that park.

Do they have enough room for a third park at least the same size as the smaller of the two existing?

 

[Timothy_Q]

The Adventureland art is SO loose, compared to the Port Discovery art which is very specific in its details, that it feels VERY unlikely it won't still go through many many changes until its possible opening in... a decade?

There is speculation of them buying nearby warehouses (close to the newer TDS parking garage) for them to play around with.

Those in charge in Tokyo aren't like the 'super fans' here who think longstanding attractions are sacrosanct and may never be touched. They're not going to jump in to save a nostalgic ride. If they were going to do so, their Space Mountain wouldn't be completely redesigned.

Tokyo Disney fans and powers that be want popular Disney IP. And if that means booting old rides and IP past their prime, so be it.

To be fair, in that case, it’s still Space Mountain, just a newer version. I feel like upgrades are much easier pills to swallow than replacements.

Here is a visual of their current space, honestly I wish TDR would just get rid of Ikispiari and build a new park. That might sound controversial, but to me it's nothing more than like an indoor and outdoor shopping mall. They could gain a ton of space that way.

Just now realizing- Tokyo’s CBJ looks to be connected to the Tiki Room like in MK.

You don’t suppose that means it’s on the chopping block too… right? Are we at risk of losing them too?

 

[Andrew25]

Just fun speculation, but the green highlighted areas are currently warehouse areas not used by OCL that may be worth purchasing for additional resort space.

The area just to the north of the original DisneySea parking garage is the likelier candidate, but we shall see.

Ikspiari is tiny, less than half the size of Fantasy Springs
It's also sandwiched between TDL, a hotel and train tracks

Could use Ikspiari as expansion space for TDL, to keep the Jungle Cruise/Tiki Room and still add the random IP stuff.

travel agents for foreign guests apparently seems to be part of this initiative

 

[BagOfGroceries]

Everything in TDL is requested by OLC. Thus, in that regard, WHAT ARE THEY THINKING WITH ADVENTURELAND?!?!
