Tokyo Disneyland Attractions (What's Unique to the Japanese Park?)by Heather Long | More from this Blogger 06 May 2007 06:01 AM We spent some time talking about Tokyo Disneyland yesterday and I promised that we would take a look at their unique attractions - after all, you can see the Haunted Mansion, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Space Mountain in Anaheim and Orlando. So what does Tokyo Disneyland offer that is unique? Attractive Attractions But there are unique attractions beyond the sojourn into history. In the center of the Tokyo Disneyland is Cinderella's Castle. The Castle, itself, is located in the center of the park and draw's the visitor's eyes. In fact, the castle itself is a symbol of the Disney brand and you can see it on the opening of every Disney film - but what makes Cinderella's Castle unique in Tokyo is the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour. The walking tour sends you down a path littered with Disney Villains. Towards the center of the journey, you will find the Horned King holding court of a nasty cauldron filled with bubbles and troubles. You won't find this attraction in California. Want to see some Disney robotic figures give a fantastic Disney music performance? The Japanese love music in all of its forms and the Mickey Mouse Review plays to that demographic. The songs are all Disney classics performed in Japanese and while you may not necessarily understand the words, you'll enjoy the performance. Japanese History The third and final unique attraction that you can find at Tokyo Disneyland is Meet the World. The presentation is in Japanese, but the last row offers you an option of headphones to hear the English translation. The historical presentation offered at Tokyo Disneyland seems appropriate considering the fact that if you are going to travel to Japan, one might as well learn something of Japanese history. Bear in mind that the historical content itself is not as in depth as you may be looking for. There is no dwelling on the darker parts of the past. Visitors are taken on a journey back to the Tang Dynasty China from over 1,000 years ago and then brought up to date including the arrival of the Black Ships in 1853. There are oblique images of gunfire to refer to World War II, but the grittier parts of that reality are avoided. Would you like an opportunity to visit Tokyo Disneyland?
