In-depth photo tours, reviews and updates on Themed Attractions.
Sindbad’s Storybook Voyage is perhaps the most overlooked and underrated attraction at Tokyo DisneySea. Placed at a quiet corner of Arabian Coast, this dark ride portrays Sindbad’s exciting voyages with music by Alan Menken. The ride is also well known for its number of incredibly life-like (and yet cartoon) animatronics.
Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin is a dark ride in Tokyo Disneyland’s Toontown.Guests board yellow cabs called “Lenny” that is capable of spinning (like a tea cup ride) as it maneuvers around colourful and mildly psychedelic scenes.
In Tokyo Disneyland, you can meet Mickey Mouse… at his house! Welcome to Toontown at Tokyo Disneyland, a land filled with attractions based on Mickey Mouse & Friends, as well as a Roger Rabbit’s wild adventures.
The Year of the Horse Floral Display has arrived at the Flower Dome, bringing fresh colours to Gardens by the Bay. Have a walk around and enjoy the vibrant sights at this new floral display.
Apart from being Tokyo Disneyland‘s park icon and a grand gateway to Fantasyland, Cinderella Castle is home to a walk-through attraction unique to Japan. Guests can visit Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall within the castle – a lavish walk-through attraction that tells the story of Cinderella.
Our tour around Fantasyland continues! Walk inside the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall and enjoy photos of this land of magic at night.
With the majestic Cinderella Castle and many attractions themed after classic Disney movies, Fantasyland is a place where fairy tales and dream-like stories come to life. Take a walk around Tokyo Disneyland‘s Fantasyland in this entry.
Resorts World Sentosa’s Marine Life Park offers dolphin interaction programmes at their newly opened Dolphin Island. This attraction provides visitors with many opportunities to meet and interact with the park’s famous Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
I was invited to experience Trainer For A Day, a six-hour programme at Dolphin Island. This is perhaps the “ultimate” package (and priced to match), as it not only includes several encounters with dolphins, but also hands-on experiences of a dolphin trainer’s role at the park. Other programmes offered are much shorter in duration (running between 30 to 60 minutes) and are hence more suited as add-ons for a day at Adventure Cove Waterpark.
One of Tokyo Disneyland’s most beloved attractions is Pooh’s Hunny Hunt. Taking the form of a giant storybook that guests may walk “into”, the ride brings the young (and young-at-heart) through a magical journey in Hundred Acre Wood.
The Haunted Mansion is among some of Disney’s most iconic theme park attractions. A foreboding experience of visiting a terrifying mansion is probably incongruous in a Disney Park, but the mansion presents dark humour and chilly wit in the form of a slow dark ride and elaborate walkthrough pre-show.
