2008 will mark the 25th Aniversary for Tokyo Disneyland and this thread will detail how I plan to celebrate it with new rides, lands and events.

Here is sort of a fact sheet overview of the plan:

1) 5 new lands
2) Temporary Celebration Icon
3) 4 New Entertainments
4) Re-furbishment of All Other Lands


Let me start on item 2, if you recall my Disneyland 50th: Golden Memories Celerbation, I am doing a similar procdeure, for the celebration the at Tokyo Snow White Castle will be lined with fiber optics that will sparkle in "cool" hues, blue, white and silver, there will also be a "Stardust" 25 above the archway during the day.





*Note these re-habs are based on the fictuous altrecation that the castle is(and always has been) Snow White Castle with a unique design and not Cinderella castle



................More to come

I think Tokyo Disneyland needs a rehab too. Especialy Tomorrowland. It seems as if the imagineers have been ignoring it alot and paying more attention to the other theme parks. Plus, it has always been a copy cat of the other parks, but mostly WDW. Can I help you with this? I'd be glad too.:wave:

New Lands

Sci-Fi City
The Hundred Acre Woods
Villian Village
Snow White’s Royal Rose Garden
Rocket Tower Plaza


Sci-Fi City will essentially be the new Tommorowland for the park, it will however be built beyond the current bounders of the park on Directly behind were the current Space Mountain is(this land is not acutaly complelty feasiable to build on so the rest of the plans will operate that OLC somehow buys this land ;) ) It will be connected to the rest of the park by a People Mover and by subterranean moving walkways. The transit area from the main park to this satellite land will be through Rocket Tower Plaza, which I will describe later. This new land will have a central avenue and will actually be rather compact despite actually being larger than it’s replacerie. There will be 6 attractions all of which are actually completely contained with in the show buildings lining the street. The attractions are:

MicroAdventure
Star Tours
Galtatic Raceway
Flying Saucers
Astro Jets
Space Mountain

MicroAdventure, will in it’s reincarnation actually be a 4-D moving theater ride(spider-man tech), the idea will be similar that you are shrunk, but this time on purpose to demonstrate a new mode of transportation, if travelers could be shrink to this size the tubes that there self driven motion vehicles would go through could be unbelievably small thus saving precious room. Unfortunately your vehicles computer goes on the fritz and instead of taking you through the test tube, it drives you all over the laboratory until they can finally stop the car and bring you back to size. The effects will be similar to the show, mist when the dog sneezes (no mice this time) large burst of air from air vents ect.

Star Tours will essentially be the same except guests will never know what adventure they will get, the film rotations will be The original, three pod-racer scenes, and then a scene similar to the original except in stead of getting caught in a battle with the Death Star you get caught in the Clone Wars. The three different pod-racer scenes would each have the race track take place in a different terrain, all 5 adventures would start out the same as the original until the “death star scene” then your ship would either accidentally drop into a pod race or get caught in the clone wars. Each adventure would also have 3 alternate endings all good with you winning, but occurring indifferent ways. So total there would be 15 different experiences you could have on this ride, which would all be selected at random.

Galatic Raceway will be an alternate of Indy Raceway, it will be in indoor track will futuristic looking scenery and all sorts of comets and such flying over head, there will be 4 separate tracks, they will start off parallel then alternated by gonging over and under each other throughout the rest of the ride. The cars will look like they are hovercrafts by using dark light technology but will be the same type of cars as on the Autopia and the same type of ride mechanics.

The Flying Saucers will be a little different then the original attraction these will actually be controlled by a computer(guests will not control them) and they will move in like an egg scrambler fashion, except the pattern of motion will constantly change, since it will operate by sensors, similar to the humplaumph and Woosel section on the Pooh ride, but more complex and a ride made out of it, this will also be in a large dome with sparkling starts, comets and swirling galaxies over head, the floor once the ride also starts will turning into a sky scene through the use of fiber optics so you feel like you are spinning through the universe.

Astro Jets will be the same hub and spoke type mechanics but presented much better, this will also be inside and use black light technology, the black light technology will hide the beams connecting the individual cars to the hub, the cars will look like the Astro Orbiter ships but will have seating like Aladdin’s Carpets, here the front section will control the up and down the ship, plus being able to spin it 360 degrees, the back will control a longitudinal and a latitudinal tilt of +30 to –30 degrees, so this ride can be made as wild or as tame as your party wishes, and each person has a part of the ships motion to control, here the black lights will reveal different 3-D planets scenes at different times, much like on Rock N’ roller coaster but much better looking.

Space Mountain

This will be similar to it’s former version except it will have 4 mirrored track more room and much smoother with the Disneyland cars. The track will be in the main building but also spread through out the top levels of all the buildings in the land.

People Mover which will travel through the same subterranean tunnels as the walk ways then does a quick tour of the land before dropping you off at a departure station.

WDI doesn't ignore.... WDI listens, WDI gives a whole lot of good advices...but in the end, WDI obeyes.....(most of the time :animwink: )

It's again a management thing.

The Hundred Acre Wood

This land will start at the interior side of Pooh's Honey Hunt and thinly strech down to the old Raceway. The section blocking the Tootown entrance will then be a large brige going up and over a hill. Then a new entrance will be built to ToonTown, called the ToonTown Tunnel, this tunnel will lead to the hub acutally casuing the entrance to HAW to be only from Fantasyland.

Aditional Attractions:

Tigger's Bouncerrific!

Juping Jelly Fish type ride, but car themed to look like a macine with a large spring on the bottom to let you bounce like tigger

Piglet's Kite Fyers

A zepher with the cars themed to look like kites, the main sturcuter will look like a giant tree.

Rabbit's Garden Patch

A bumber car ride made to look like Rabbit's Garden where you try to help him keep his bugs out by bumping them with your car (bugs are AA's that pop up on the sides and in the middle, track is doughnut shaped

Then there will be houses for, Pooh, Tigger, Owl, Kanga & Roo, Rabbit, Piglet, Eyore and Gopher, this will just be meet and greets infront of facades of their houses from the show

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Tower Plaza

This is the transport area to Sci-Fi City

It would be a small patch of area off of the World Bazzar entrance to the former Tommorowland.

The attractions listed here mearly serve a transportation purpose

Sci-Fi City Intergalatic Expressway

This is the Peoplemover preveosuly described, this is the same peoplemover system but with more futurisitic looking cars

Cosmic Wormhole System

These are the moving walkways that go thorugh wormhole like tunnels to take you from RTP to Sci-Fi City, there are tow sets going and two sets coming back, each is 4 normal width thick.


The main plaza is bascially a futursitic looking garden rest area, with an inchromed version of the old starjets hub, then guests take escalators down to the subteriann level to board the transit attractions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snow White Royal Rose Garden

This small area will take the place of what used to be the building that housed MicroAdventure and Starcade.

This will be a faux rose garden with faux topiareis with gazebos to meet your favorite Disney Movie charachters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Villian Village

This area will be from the old SPace Mountain over to Rocket Tower Plaza

SM will be the only struturce acutally left, while re-building this area.

Attractions:

Bald Mountain

This will be the "old" Space Mountain, the outside will have a Bald Mountain Facade built around it. The interior Space decor will be removed and themed to cank caverns, at the top where the train goes over the edge there will be a Chernabog AA that will un warp him self with his wings, laugh and then open craks in the walls blocking your path and down you go, the interior the ride will be complelty dark most of the time, in some parts there will be swirling projections of the Ghosts from the bald mountain scene there will be a few (fake) gesyers of fire that will light up, and Chernabog's image will appear every so often as well the soudn track will feature sounds cordinanted to the effects otherwise it will help give the illusion of moving quickly through the cave by having the sound of wind rushing through a cavern. The cars would be rethemed like min exploring vehichles.

Jafar's Twisted Labrynth

An interactive Labrynth based on a twisted and dark form of Sultan's Palace

Malificient's Castle

A Dark ride with a twist first there is no track the mojority of the ride is gusided by sensors, the cars will come to tripple forks where guests can choose which room they go into then once in the room, guests can freely guide their cars, with the sensors preventing them from running into other cars or the scenary, then after a time period the coputer takes over and the car exits the room into another hall with three more forks this process contiues 6 time, meaing there are 18 different rooms, and 54 different combontaions guests coudl take, then all guests expereince the final show scene which features Malfcicent attacking you with here powers then transforming into the Dragon as you nearly escape.

Cruela De'Vil's Wild Chase

This is an indoor steel wild mouse ride, where guests are in cars themed like the era of the movie, the idea is that Curela and her henchmen accidientally mistake your car for the car witht eh puppies in it and they chase you all over the town, on each car there will be a reveiw mirror wihich will actually be a video screen that will show creula's car.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll post shops and restuarnts later

This is a little out of order but here are the "Entertainmetns"


Stardust Sorcery

A nighttime show staring sorcer mickey freinds, this will incorperate firwworks over the castle and a fiberoptic parade interfused together

Villians In Vouge

A second nightime show in Villian Village, actually taking place on the outside of the Bald Mountain facade, this show will be a musical revue showing off the lighter side of villians, the Magic Mirror (on a water screen) will be the host (similar in style to the great Disney Halloween special where the mirror tries to convince you that the Villians are just misunderstood)


The Silver Fantasy Parade

A daytime parade focusing on the the park and all of the Disney movie chrachters that have come out since the parks opening, there will be float or float groups represting each land of the park and chrachters as appropriate as possibel will be on each

Mickey's Magical Mornings

Prior to the park opening Mickey and his freinds will put on show follwed by an opening cermony of the park (similar to what is alradey inplace at MK)

Interesting...

Well, let's see. I like the fireworks idea, sounds pretty good. Even the name is catchy. Now, beware when it comes to fireworks, Tokyo Disneyland puts on the most amazing shows usually launching pyro from the castle, not from an area behind it, so think about that.

The Villians show, I'm impractical to. I don't like stuff with Villians, it usually ends up being tacky and and not worth spending the money on. Personally my opinion on that.

The Parade sounds nice, but Tokyo Dinseyland usually sets a theme for each Anniversary. The 10th was Magic, the 15th was a Carnival, the 20th was Dreams, so what's the 25th? Make a theme and build from there. Just an idea.

As for the last thing, they already have something like that. When the park opens, there is like every character in the Main Street or just outside it for entering guests. Very popular.

As with any anniversary, you need a new stage show. Something to tie into your theme. - The WeirdOne :D

Thank you very much for your sugestions WierdOne


hmmmm let's see how about makeing the 25th theme Imagination, and that anything is possible whe we imagine., the Silver Fantasy parade then will show through floats all of the different places we can take our selves when we use our imaginations and the people we have met when we have done so over the last 25 years hence it all cmobines to create a Silver Fantasy, this again would flow into the fact that groups and indivual floats will emulate the themes of each land.


Then scratch Mickey's Magical Mornings if they already do it and instead I will as you suggested put in a new stage show, based on the same theme. How about instead a stage show called

The Magic in Your Mind

This show will feature the fab 5 plus a few other friends, the idea will be that Mickey, Pluto, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, and Chip and Dale are all stuck at Mickey's house on a rainy day when they were supposed to go to a picknick and the audeince was invited. The show will be Mickey and Freinds showing the audicne all the possiblites when you unlock the Magic in Your Mind and all the things you can do with your imagination.

Sounds good so far. The show seems a bit tacky to me, but that's alright. They all sound tacky until you've seen them ;).

And as for your parade, you need to have a solid storyline. Same with the sho and fireworks. - The WeirdOne :D

I would say more cheesy then tacky, but it's kinda supposed to be to some degree, a feel good all family type show, they all end up being a little cheesy(at least to adults anyways), but that's part of the fun.

For the theme of the parade I will introduce Figment and have him do what I said the point of the parade which I stated previously, FIgment will then "show all of the different places we can take our selves when we use our imaginations and the people we have met when we have done so over the last 25 years hence it all combines to create a Silver Fantasy"

The storyline then for Stardust Sorcery would be a slight spin off the sorcerer's aprrentice scene from Fantasia, the floats would show sevral of these scenes and the pyro would be most of the reactions, also on the floats would be the addiiton of the different magical creations Mickey wold create, (this owudl replace the broom part) dancing brroms, dancing flowers, enchanting different objects, while this part would be happening a Mickey AA would be on a platform rasied in the center of the hubish area. Mickey would also do fireworks and such from on the castle too.

As far as the Villains go, it may bee a little corny but again all in good fun, the Villians will do different renditions of popular rock songs, like Maliiciant will lead the other villiouns women in "I'm just a girl" by No Doubt and so on, again just another good fun show to see, for those with less theatrical tatstes like what Stardust Sorcery will be.

Well now, I'm disappointed. Tokyo Disneyland is known among all the Disney parks for featuring the BEST entertainment ever. It's shows are top-notch and never cheesy. Truth be told, more adults see the shows than kids. Remember, you're catering to a much different audience in Japan. Shows the public didn't like rarely last long in Tokyo Disneyland. Be weary of what you say and how you present these. Tokyo Disneyland shows have class, a storyline, a theme, and usually cater to all ages and are top-notch. So, try re-working these some. And BTW, Figment doesn't exist in Tokyo, nor does the WDC want him to. - The WeirdOne :D

I am a little conused though as I once basiclaly saw a script form one of the Tokyo Disney Seas shows(The bon voyage show I think), and it was extordinarily cheesy, I think perhapse we may have differnet views of cheesyness.

But regardless I personally did not describe this very well, cheesy was not the best way to describe these at all, Magic in Your Mind will be whimisical and of the same humor level as the typical Mickey cartoons. It will be rather theatrical with lot's of top notch special effects as they imagine different things, ie a comical scene were Donald imagines himself to be a knight and and is trying to save Daisy from a dragon as she is locked away in a tower. Of course Dondald runs into to comical trouble along the way but eventually rescues here, the show will be a bunch of different skits like this and orgial music to tie the scenes togther with a theme song by the same name of the show, The Magic in Your Mind. The show will be to show the audnence that anything is possible if you unlock the magic in your mind, if this sounds cheesy to you, then I guess practically anything Disney does would be cheesy then if you are viewing this in that same context. I mean really it is no different then Fantasmic! in theme.


Villains in Vouge will be as I said before a high quality rock concert feature all your favorite DIsney villians, the only corny part would be if you over think it and think how odd it is that the Villians are singing the songs, but really again any Disney musical woudl be if you think about it like that, and I know that the Japanesse love most American music, so maybe the songs owuld be ones that woudl be picked out from survery conducted to see what American rock songs geusts like that would be appropriate.


In conclusion, despite my possibly bad descriptions the shows will be exicuted in a very classy and high quality manener, I think what I was tyring to get across is that MoyM and VV would be more comical shows, but still to the standard and quality of Tokyo

Also I am well aware FIgment does not exsist in Japan and I think it is a shame, so I am bringing him over

Trust me, scripts don't do the shows justice. I think I should send you some videos. No matter how cheesy the scripts read, the show is perfect ;). And Sail Away is an amazing show, BTW.

Great ideas on the Magic in your Mind! Sounds like much fun! I can't wait to see what other stuff you have planned for it. As for the villians show, again, I don't like villains much, so I'm indifferent, I think I could enjoy a day there and not have to see this show.

As for Figment, I'm sure the WDC won't let you bring him over. I think Kodak owns him and DreamFinder. LOL! Sad, but true I think. - The WeirdOne :D

[EDIT - I don't want to sound like I am dissing your ideas, please don't take my comments the wrong way, you know how I am towards Entertainment and TDR.]

THank you for your sugestions


As ar as the Vilians show goes, I am on the fence now about what to do with it, I might scartch it but somesort of show about VIllians is going to go in there, just probably not in the rock concert format (personaly I love Villians)

And about Figment, I am putting still putting him in (i'll just have OLC lease the rights ;) ) Anyways he will just be in the parade nothing else, unless the reaction is really good.

Entertainment Update:

I am ditching Villians In Vouge, but using the same area in stead I am doing another nighttime show called

A Night on Bald Mountain

and yep it will feature the song by the same name and will be a live recreation with a few altrications of the Fantasia segement with Chernabog. For this a giant Chernabog AA will be in an comparmnet of the BM facade, witch I was planning on having anyways to have him maybe pop out ofr a bit every so often during the day but snarl at the light and go back in. So the show will use that AA along with fog screens aroudn teh area to do the gohst projections, and lots of pyro, the only parts that will be alittle differnt , is the part where Chernabog makes the little deamons in his hand and such the AA will shot some sort of pyro towards the base of the moutain where there will be a second conceald stage and CM's in the proper costumes will preform dance routines similar to the ones in the segmnet, the only other change is that it will be longer than 7:25 with certain areas drwan out more, and new segemtsn added with lots of pyro, also for this extension the song will be slightly re-mixed to extened loops of certain parts to get this extra length. The total show time then will be around 10 min even

Just a slight update something I have been meaning to post for a while, but never got around to it and this project is secondary to some of my other current ones, anyways here is the update

What is in reality the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour, would have been re-named Magic Mirrors' Mystery Tour to tie in with teh Snow White castle theme.

Anyways from about park opening till about 4 in the day the attraction would operate like normal but then from 5 till park closing the ride would become a tiered attractionby the name of Magic Mirrors' Magical Journey, the attraction would be slighlty altered bew area opended up, and guests would be given magical objects swords for boys, pixie wands for girls, basicaly there would juet be small sensors similar to a remote control when it would react with a sensor in the attraction the AA would react differntly, there also would be lot's of added AA to battle and a few maze like features would be added like dead ends and altrenate paths, the point then is to get through the area as the AA will acutally magically keep dorrs locked until you defeate them to progress on.
