Do we have confirmation that Plazma Rays is going to be safe yet?

Are we still expecting an omnicoaster-style ride system? If so, and since this is from Intamin, would the ride system be more likely the same as Objectif Mars or Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift? Or something specific to this ride?

I'm not sure if it is omnicoaster-style. There seems to be a tilt launch system (from last year)

I don't believe there is any spinning.

Although TBH I was caught off-guard as I was under the impression this was going to Vekoma until it was revealed to be Intamin.

Estimate opening date?

It's 2027 so in time for summer is always a good guess.

man this looks amazing! Will they ever bring this to the USA?

Imagine if Disney announces a tomorrowland redo to coincide with the promenade/walkway addition/expansion of DCA and brings this SM to DL?

 

[Supersnow84]

Doubtful

The American parks are mostly focused on expanding capacity, both Tomorrowland’s are people eaters even if Disneyland’s is severely outdated

Meanwhile Tokyo’s current long term focus is overhauling its legacy lands in Disneyland because OLC has said they don’t want to feel like a clone park and because Japanese sentiment has shifted towards the feeling of Disneyland over magic kingdom

Nah. Looks like you need to book a plane ticket.

Looks stellar!

I am happy they pushed back the envelope, but at the same time it seems a bit too far back… an entire ride could and did fit in that courtyard. Particularly with the forest and fantasy forest pathways beside it, it’s A LOT of space.

I do assume it’s future oriented to push into the bus lot, but between halfway in between where Space used to be and this one is seems like it would have utilized land more efficiently.

They need space to hold the 5 hour queue.
