So is JR going to change the Maihama station melody too? Unless I'm mistaken it's Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.

I'm sure they're working on it now, wonder what the new song would be. That'll take time for them to commission one and go through all the bureaucracy on both the OLC and JR sides of things. Not sure what the turnaround is on that but I'd imagine a couple months.

Tokyo Disney pirates is now under a 7 month renovation. Going to be very interesting to see what will happen.

Things are progressing really fast. Makes me wonder if we may see a summer opening next year???

My prediction was always April 2023 until earlier this year, but I don't see it being ready by then. Maybe they'll do September 4 instead to coincide with the TDS anniversary, run soft openings through mid and late August like when Tower of Terror opened in '06.

Looks awesome! Can’t wait, that’s quite an increase in capacity coming to the park.

 

[Coaster Lover]

Wait... so is Peter Pan a motion based dark ride (a l.a. Spiderman at IOA)?!?

 

[ChiGuy4Now]

These Peter Pan ride vehicles shake-up the assumption that this attraction is a reinvention of FoP. These look like this could be a Disney version of the Simpson's attraction, though, so maybe the screen comparison to FoP does make sense.

And the TinkerBell ride wasnt a flat ride?

I remember reading that you will board a ship and then it flies so I wonder if you'll get into this vehicle and then move up to a screen where it becomes a simulator (like Ratatouille or Rise of the Resistance) where you "fly." So part dark ride, part simulator?

Tangled will be a fume attraction?

Tangled will be a fume attraction?

Tangled and Frozen are both boat rides. Not a flume like Splash Mountain; more like Small World/Pirates.

 

[malice]

the absence of lap bar restraints in the Tangled vs Frozen boats is telling

@GiveMeTheMusic words were not random, like pirates but not like all pirates

Well, this isn't something I've gotten confirmation on yet. There is reason to believe Frozen will use the Shanghai Pirates system. It and Pan are the big showpieces, while Tangled has a lower budget/building size but will still be gorgeous.

One of those boats better be using Shanghai tech.

Wait, I thought Tangled was supposed to get the pirates treatment and Frozen will use a new boat ride system.
