Disney is the world’s largest entertainment company that significantly influences popular culture. Disney’s works adhere to the principle of not reflecting the dark side of life and not explicitly dealing with death, aiming to cultivate healthy morals and ethics in children and provide entertainment for all ages. Disneyland, which was created as a theme park loved by both children and adults, captivates the hearts of people all over the world. Tokyo Disneyland stands out from other Disneylands by opening DisneySea. So, let’s find the top 10 most popular attractions at DisneySea.
Soaring: Fantastic Flight
This attraction, which people who have experienced it personally consider the best at DisneySea, is a flight theater attraction called Fantastic Flight. Visitors to the Fantastic Flight Museum board the Dream Flight, a flying vehicle created by Camellia Falco, and explore the world while traveling. It is the most recently opened attraction and has long waiting times. After riding the attraction, the feeling of exploring the scenery of the world displayed on the screen stimulates the inner child.
Tower of Terror
As you explore DisneySea, you will see screams and long waiting lines. Most likely, those in line are waiting for the Tower of Terror. The Tower of Terror is an attraction with the concept of boarding an elevator in a hotel that has been closed since the disappearance of the hotel’s owner, with the cursed doll Shiriki Utundu. The difference is that the elevator drops rapidly and goes up.
Nemo & Friends SeaRider
SeaRider is an attraction where you can explore and adventure in the Finding Nemo world by riding a fish-shaped submarine. The video shown during the ride will be randomly selected depending on whether you enter on the right or left side. This video, created directly by Pixar, includes a scene where you get splashed with water. The characters from Finding Nemo and the attraction are well combined, making it popular among people of all ages.
Indiana Jones Adventure
You can experience the high-quality attractions of Disney in this multi-motion dark ride based on the adventures of Indiana Jones. Creatures likely to appear in Indiana Jones also threaten the people riding the attraction, including cases where flames are emitted. It’s not dangerous, but it can surprise you. There is also a photo-taking section during the ride, so don’t miss out on the photo-taking event.
Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage
As the name suggests, it is an attraction where passengers can see Sinbad’s story through moving dolls. Multiple people board a ship and travel along while watching Sinbad’s story on both sides. The dolls move slightly and sing, creating the illusion of watching a musical. There are dialogues along with the songs, which are in Japanese, but Sinbad’s story is so famous that it doesn’t hinder understanding the story.
20000 Leagues Under the Sea
Based on the movie 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, this dark ride attraction takes the form of a submarine and allows you to experience the feeling of being on a submarine. The attraction explores the creatures that exist in the depths of the sea as the submarine embarks on an exploration after an accident. You can experience situations like losing electrical power, providing a sense of reality. Although it may not offer a thrilling experience, it is enough to give you a sense of adventure. If you want to ride quickly, going just before the parade time after sunset is recommended.
Journey to the Center of the Earth
When you enter DisneySea, you will see a volcano in the center. This attraction is located in the volcano and is a dark ride based on the journey to the center of the Earth by Jules Verne. When you reach the end of the attraction, you will go up the volcano and experience a sudden drop outside the volcano. The safety bar is loose, so your body will fly up, providing an incredible thrill. Like the Tower of Terror, there are many screams, and even spectators can feel the thrill.
Toy Story Mania!
This attraction boasts the highest popularity among DisneySea’s attractions. It is a shooting dark ride where you compete with the person sitting next to you by riding a vehicle along the rails and shooting lasers. The scores of each other are displayed on small screens in front of each seat, allowing you to check them during the ride. It was extremely popular in the early days of its opening, with waiting times exceeding 600 minutes. Even now, it has a significant waiting line. After exiting, a magic mirror and mini-games provide additional entertainment.
Raging Spirits
This roller coaster attraction takes you on an adventure to excavate ancient statues of a deity in the jungle. In just 1 minute and 30 seconds, you can experience 360-degree rotations and steep drops, making it thrilling. Even though it is a 360-degree rotation, the diameter is not large, so even those not good with roller coasters can ride it comfortably. Since it is an outdoor attraction, it may operate at a reduced speed or be canceled in case of rain, so please be aware of that. On holidays, the average waiting time is about 100 minutes.
Aquatopia
This attraction allows you to ride a 2-seater boat and move along a designated course. During the hot and humid summer, you can get wet as water splashes around, so you can see people who have ridden the attraction soaked in water. Although there is prior notice before boarding, the water is sprayed without mercy on your face, so caution is recommended. Therefore, there are quite a few spectators, and you may also get splashed with water while watching, so be careful.
