Most people who have visited Walt Disney World or Disneyland in the past would say that the most impressive and outstanding attractions were made there. Nobody else could do it better. Now take those same people and introduce them to the current American Disney theme parks. They would be appaled by the cardboard cut outs and the huge amount of off the shelf carnival rides found throughout the parks. Who could do it better? Japan. Why? Because the Tokyo Disneyland theme parks aren't owned by Disney but by Oriental Land Company who has a licensing agreement with Disney. They pour more money into a single E-Ticket attraction then most recent theme parks. Even the most simple of rides, the improve upon and that is why the imagineers are so fascinated with Tokyo DisneySea.
Let us take a look, shall we? The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh at Walt Disney World. Though the two are different, Winnie the Pooh in WDW has to be the most impressive Fantasyland attraction there. But the presence of cardvoard cut outs is still present. Tokyo Disneyland's has a satellite tracking system which allows the cars swirve and bounce around giving guests a true Winnie the Pooh experience. The one in WDW is stationed by a track and gives almost no movement besides the bouncing when you meet Tigger, which isn't all that fabulous. Why can't they be the same? Money. Expect the one coming to Disneyland to replace the Bears to be even more cheaper because of Disneyland budget.
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a classic Fantasyland attraction made at WDW but due to problems it shut down in 1994 for refurbishment but sadly never reopened. The subs were removed in 1997 and the entrance was replaced witha Character Meet & Greet. The submarines from the old ride popped here and there (remember the one found in the pre-show of the Backlot Tour at the Disney-MGM Studios). Well, Japan has done it again. 20,000 Leagues is one of the featured attractions in Mysterious Island at Tokyo DisneySea. Look carefully and you can even spot one of the original submarines from the WDW attraction sitting in the lagoon. The true vision of Jules Verne's classic novel and Walt Disney's imaginary movie are finally realized in full spectacular color. The ride goes beyonf the lame audio-animatronics of the old ride.
They even do a simple carousel better then the American Disney theme parks. Tired of riding King Trition's seahorses while Beachboy music is played? The head to Tokyo DisneySea and check out Caravan Carousel. This is the first ever two-story Disney carousel ever built. Guests ride creatures iinspired by the stories of 1001 Arabian Nights, which even include the Genie from Aladdin. Illustrated panels on the upper level depict scenes from the novel. Check it out in the latest edition of Disney Magazine. Heck! Check out all of Tokyo DisneySea and try to make comparisons to similar attractions here in America. Feel ripped off, don't ya?
Till next time, See Ya!!
