Rainbow Bandits Dark Ride Impressive Suspended Japanese Ride System New Reoma World

[@AdrianBenipayo1]

I love how makers in Japan make an effort to create original content.

[@robertmoore9721]

***** In my opinion, I feel that neon colours make everything look artificial. I enjoy attention to detail in dark rides. That's just my opinion though.

[@MartinLewison]

I remembered this being a cool ride, but we did so much on that trip that it fell through the memory cracks. I found only a single photo of the exterior. Thank you for posting this.

[@JCW1013]

It's a Small World + Peter Pan.

[@abandonedgachachannel2829]

NoOoOo it's a small world is to discover all the countries and peter pan is based on the film peter pan and this ride have anything like small world and peter pan

[@ferbfan12]

Japan's got some cool shit.

[@ragdolllover345]

notice the one car in front of them is missing the seats. Hopefully that was just for maintenance and it didn't fall off

[@spunchbop47428]

or maybe it's a wheelchair one

[@bjkaye9918]

I'm sorry, how?

[@CarolineNiggAyaLee-Janet]

it’s for the wheel chair

[@bluewinkle123]

They need to remake It's a small world ride on a suspended track like this! cool concept and cute, but weird ride.

[@abandonedgachachannel2829]

No way to suspend small world boat... NO WAY

[@Cullvion]

This is like a mix between a nightmare and a bad acid trip.

[@gracecoombs720]

Seriously bizarre! Not matter what language you speak, even Japanese, this is a STRANGE RIDE!

[@coastersplus]

The cuteness is killing me slowly...

[@黒川貴志-h5p]

夏休み、レオマワールドにいきます。たのしみです❤

[@SailorBarsoom]

I'm not sure I care for the ride itself, but that suspended track is a great innovation.

[@Thomas__Blue]

It looks like a lot of fun, my only annoyance is when when occasionally clearly see the wall with the pipes and exit signs, I mean, texture the wall to a cave or mountain or something. Still a cool looking ride though.

[@JoMarieM]

Most of this ride was downright bizarre. However, the last room with all the lights was kind of cool. It reminded me a bit of the old Luna Park in Coney Island, New York.

[@emikonishino2873]

懐かしい

[@Antpeople1]

Last room pretty

[@ohrabbits]

Oh, that would be so much fun to go on with a small child. It was long too.

[@Lighting_Desk]

I think someone must have spiked my drink.

[@GeneSavage]

How many audio recordings did they have playing at the same time? Maybe it doesn't sound this way in person, but through the video it sounded like a hundred radios all on and tuned to different stations. The ride was beautiful but the sound... ugh!!!

[@gibbage1]

Congratulations! You found a ride more annoying then Its a Small World!

[@spidergem1]

Awsome cool ride verry colourfull :)

[@BrennaOkazaki]

1:16 KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

[@trainman668]

This looks like It's A Small World, but with the ride and track system from Peter Pan's Flight.

[@TRON8882]

It's like Small World meets the old Berry Tales from Knotts Berry Farm.

[@vicareyous3019]

As a career imagineer, all I can say is this: Rainbow Bandits is a perfect example of what happens when someone tries to "do Disney" without being careful to observe the lessons of subtlety Walt's legacy clearly teaches. This ride system is quite nice, but the content and execution of the ride itself is lackluster and pedestrian. It does get worse than this - do a search on KZbin for the new Dubai theme park dark rides, which throw many millions of dollars per example at conceptual vacuums. Those who criticize Disney should be aware that examples like this only serve to show the strength of the years of preparation and analysis the company throws at a project result in a kind of 'show magic' that is totally lacking in this attraction and the fiascos of the Dubai theme park.

[@skylilly1]

What a cool track. Sometimes these kind of rides are tougher on the adults than the little ones.

[@snarkus63]

It'd be more impressive if the animatronics weren't on the same level as a holiday window display from the 1970's.

[@rurounikengyrl]

kind of reminds me of the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland

[@katiem7463]

Damn, I wanna go on this...

[@timnix7942]

I'm confused what happened lol

[@cobiebeef]

Well, the plot was very well laid out during the ride, however some things in there were very tricky and hard to pick up on. So the story begins in a kingdom that is a bunch of swirly colors and the animals there are all bi-pedal. all of a sudden a little blue person with a swirly face comes up and the colors of the kingdom disappear. A few if the tricky things are that the gondolas are high suspended hot air balloons. These hot air balloons tie every thing to gather to show that the people who made this were really high. JK XD @_@

[@Dragonrider1227]

Rainbow bandits? You mean Murky and Lurky? XD cute ride

[@justimagine2403]

Very impressive!

[@TheRealZenman]

A Japanese riff out of an Oz book, using familiar characters with some new and appealing anime-style designs. Lots of color and detail and a big pile of music, dialogue and sound FX. For the most part it's clever and fun in design but suffers from 'Small World' Envy. Still, this is far and away a huge jump in quality and interest from the earliest dark rides at Disneyland, such as 'Snow White'.

[@CarolineNiggAyaLee-Janet]

it’s quite impressive because this park is located in the country side, it’s not even in the mainland of Japan. So most Japanese don’t even know this place exists...

[@heru-deshet359]

After the first 60 seconds I would be bored shitless.

[@AlfieWoodland]

This is the most popular mode of transport in Japan. Standard daily commute here.

[@cjv6786]

Why is the plain wall, pipes and ceiling is more noticeable than decorations.

[@cornjobb]

the bizarre, nightmarish world of international dark rides.

[@Gshepgf]

That blue dude looks like that stupid clock from those dumb DHMIS videos

[@JoMarieM]

Acid Trip: The Ride!

[@Cyberjoker14]

at the begining of the ride i hear yelling pissed off kids! XD

[@toysvilltvstudios7576]

Why does this makes us think Wizard of OZ, Mixed with The Yellow Sumberine movie look like a living nightmare???? O.O

[@frocklewocka981]

It looks like its a small world

[@TRON8882]

Kinda reminds me of oz without the scarecrow.

[@phantompotato6353]

It looks like beetlejuice took a kids ride into a nightmare

[@2can99]

Uhhh....what the hell did I just watch?

[@missshellybeach]

the suspended ride car in front is missing lol

[@ellethebat5624]

Super cute !!

[@xaismith157]

Pedal plane race

[@emmanuelmoon13]

This is like if It's a Small World met, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad's Wild ride.......

[@pirateprincess1997]

It's like the Peter Pan ride at disney world

[@dollofvoodoo]

Way too noisy

[@TheFringes.]

I dont know why, but animatronics make me claustrophobic as fuck o.O

[@gothicheiressleah]

Didn't this park already close in 2010?

[@MommaKeeKee123]

My kids would be terrified, lhh 😂

[@sin8800]

Imagine drinking a boat-load of sake then riding this. Shit gets real >_

[@JoshuaHere]

Isn't this the same system as in The Efteling? Droomvlucht?

[@Wig4]

Joshua Baruch THIS system is plain-simple, chained straightforward. The Efteling Droomvlucht system is quite complicated ! Also suspended, yes. But it's a suspended omnimover tech. It turns to viewing angles, climbs and descends, just like Disney HM doombuggies do. But doombuggies are chained (like THIS ride in video, constant speed). In Droomvlucht the gondolas are individually motorised, computer controlled, and accellerate / slow down according to scene sections, plus at the end has the spiral semi-roller-coaster fun. Droomvlucht has, technically, one of the most complicated dark-ride systems in existence.

[@cjv6786]

The noice is more like an arcade.

[@googleboughtmee]

I want to drop acid and sit on this all day

[@Room91344]

Nice, but they need to work on the lighting effects and hiding the unfinished walls.

[@caitlinsablotne124]

my people are very smart and good with technology!!

[@Marchant2]

I once had a nightmare that didn't look like this.

[@keithholm7493]

was that statue of liberty, the Cheshire Cat? Hope there's a warning not to consume drugs before riding this thing..

[@emanuellantigua]

Isn't Peter Pan like this

[@TamamaCandyLover]

I'm pretty sure this is a ride about my dreams minus the spinning eyes dude and the princess or whoever she is lol. Looks fun to me though.

[@Nelwar]

I was about to say finally the chinese did something good but nope the Japanese props to yall

[@Hannah-gx8pu]

Im gonna have nightmares. Omf.

[@juansediez10]

I don't know what the f*ck did I just watched.....but me too

[@WhoseLineFanXD]

if you think that was creepy, wait til you see tpr's chinese knock off its a small world videos

[@KoasterKing205]

ok

[@KGA7771]

was this base on a kids movie or something?

[@thenuttybanana6197]

da fuck just happened?

[@WhoseLineFanXD]

how would you emergency exit?!?

[@floppyflippyflan7758]

This seems like it's a small world

[@kelvinwong7249]

I'm pretty sure there's one that is like that in florida disney world

[@juansediez10]

Peter Pan's Flight

[@Wig4]

+157juanse Technically speaking, the Peter Pan's flight is a "flat ride". Track is on constant horizontal plane. However, the magic works much better because there is light on the story telling scenes only. (99,5% blackness above and around) You've got the illusion of rising and descending, by scale change of the scenes. (Perspective illusion) The cost to build Peter Pan's flight, must be a futile fraction, of the cost to build Rainbow Bandits ! (Even when counting 'per travel minute' - the first version on 'crisis budget', the follow up versions ;WDW-Tokyo-Paris..; on more comfortable budget) Even if Disney is often seen as "big capital spender", with Peter Pan they showed (early !!!...) genius in building a make believe masterpiece, on total tiebelt budget !!

[@tedpetry2028]

Sounds as noisy as the "its a small world" ride.

[@coryvazquezlol]

It sounds worse lol

[@whitelion44]

So It's a Japanese Peter Panish World of Oz after all?

[@C-130-Hercules]

Nice ride. But...Nothing beats Disney. Why? Because Disney has storylines for their characters. A long history of nostalgia. There are a lot of imitations but only one Walt Disney. If you can get Disney out of your mind, this ride is great. But There is something about that Disney Magic that makes you feel good.

[@ryandownard2585]

that freaked me out did it happen to anybody else

[@Somno_toska]

Oaakaaayy that's not creepy at all...

[@annarusso4594]

AM I the only 1 that found this totally HORRIFYING!!!!!!!!!!

[@dylanwinkler5344]

rip headphone users dat rides creepy

[@yukireal]

I admire their effort but, sorry, the result was terrible. Imho, this ride is a torture...

[@kluckster41]

You should go to hades in mount Olympus wisconsin dells wisconsin fastest ride you will ever go on

[@heathcarson4492]

Beautiful scenes being terribly served by poor lighting design.

[@AdrenalineRushVidz]

....this is impressive..?

[@120jun8]

ここレオマやろ？

[@FursuitRodeo]

100th comment

[@timjuul]

so boring ride, some nice effect, but notice it is emty, not many people there

[@acmecomments]

Chinese knock off small world

[@mdragonflame]

woow so much effort was put into this!!! I saw many problems with it though.. the main thing being most of the scenes were monochromatic (like the pink.. scene..) and made it very boring.. as well as the same tune being played that isn't as catchy as "its a small world" made it worse. I'm sure they both had a MAJOR part in the story, but without being able to understand it, the monochromatic scenes just make my eyes hurt from trying to see everything.. But the giant animatronics made my jaw drop!! WOWWW.

[@themeparkreview]

I thought the storyline had something to do with the bad guys stealing the colors from the different areas and our heroes trying to capture them to get them back. That's why the ride starts out in full color, and then gets less and less, and finally by the end of if, after the bad guy is captured, all the color is bright and restored again! The ride is called "Rainbow Bandits" so to me that makes sense.

[@mdragonflame]

yeah I thought that was why. Even so it still had the same effects for me watching it o.e great ride anywya.

[@Wig4]

+Marina Dragonflame Every country has it's own set of highly popular (TV-)stories, unknown in other countries. You're not going to rebuild the "story" from ignorance of the storyline, isn't it ? ... lol So, lets all stop commenting on things "we don't know" ... Greets.

[@mdragonflame]

Wig4 I'm not sure what you mean by your comment on this hmm.. almost two year old comment. But I was just addressing the strengths and weaknesses of this ride artistically. If I remember correctly the story seemed interesting and all, I was just commenting on how the colors and themes could have portrayed the story better. Maybe you should take your own advice and provide something constructive to the discussion, artistically instead of attacking my well intended critique. Sorry for the eye sore, though ;3

[@Wig4]

+Marina Dragonflame That's exactly my point : without knowledge about content, we all DO bring too often "well intended but nevertheless useless" critique... So that's why I very clearly wrote : (Quote) < So, lets all stop commenting on things "we don't know" > >> 'ALL', and 'WE' .. were the words I used intentionally. We "all" should learn that. (I aggree fully on the weak music score, however, and I would advice ride developers to avoid carefully so much light "escaping" to ugly machinery ceilings, it breaks down the full immersion, tech should never be seen..) (by the way : age of comment is not of importance.. ;-) ) Cheers
