Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea are home to such incredible rides as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Indiana Jones Adventure and Tower of Terror, as well as some classics such as Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion, but now with Fantasy Springs opening with Anna & Elsa's Frozen Journey, Peter Pan's Neverland Adventure, Rapunzel's Lantern Festival and CHEESE it's harder than ever to know which rides are the best and which ones you should skip.

Love the effort and quality put into this video - this is informative and resourceful yet entertaining with how personal it is. I watched this over a span of 3 days haha. Just moved to the japan and started listening to your poscast also. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@8bitthemepark]

Thanks friend! And welcome to Japan!

[@liamhancock7061]

Mate, thank you so much for such an in-depth video on the parks, I just adore how happy and excited you are to talk about the parks and its rides!

[@8bitthemepark]

Haha thanks friend! I’m so lucky that I get to talk about this place that I love and people actually want to listen to what I have to say! Glad that it’s helpful and people enjoy it.

[@leewhite82]

You'll be able to ride Splash Mountain in the year 2050. There's zero chance OLC will spend $100M+ to change it into something less appealing.

[@TheWonderfulworldofkohlten1]

On the country bears. My theory is that they wanted to showcase all 3 versions before potentially changing it to the musical jamboree version

[@8bitthemepark]

Oof I hope not! I like Country Bears the way it is thank you very much

[@ああ-g2n6v]

東京のパレードはとても人気で長い列になる事が知られており、 近くにあるカントリーベアはキューラインの確保が難しい為、リニューアルできない可能性があります

[@Bluntteh]

Volcano was some edging

[@rey_ispog]

I went in to Journey to the center of the earth blind, and assumed its drop was minuscule…then… 9/10, Great ride, never going on again.

[@bstephens4101]

It was long and I enjoyed every minute of it. Your voice reminds me of Dream Finder or the Mad Hatter. You are so enthusiastic. My only trip Sinbad was closed and so was SplashMountain. Great video I just subscribed.

[@8bitthemepark]

What a compliment! I hope you can come back and ride Sindbad and Splash some time!

[@MrMadshepherd]

I think it’s commendable that Tokyo haven’t made all the negative changes the other parks have done. Replacing Splash Mountain, censoring pirates and Jessica Rabbit, ‘updating’ effects that don’t need updating. Wether you think these changes are right or wrong for the modern politically correct US parks, it’s important for the sake of preservation that Japan has refused to change in the same way. And for that reason Tokyo Disney has a special place in my heart. I hope they never change, they don’t need to.

[@1234JohnstoneStudios]

I went to Disneysea right before the pandemic hit, and even though it was the busiest day imaginable, every ride, precinct and show I experienced left me speechless. Particularly Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Tower of Terror, and Indiana Jones

[@DiegoMatos-u6u]

This is the Best video you ever made 8 Bit Theme Park Japan.

[@8bitthemepark]

Thanks so much! It wasn’t easy but was a lot of fun to talk about all the rides in so much detail

[@MrExtraordinaryEmily]

i’m going to tokyo disney in one month and im SO happy i found your channel!

[@8bitthemepark]

I’m so happy you did too! You must be so excited! Halloween is a great time to go 🎃

[@erikm4577]

8 bit Japan I’m currently in Tokyo and I’ll be at the Disney parks between Tuesday thru Friday it would be pretty dope to meet up

[@LilyDerrico]

Thank you! This helps so much as I am visiting tomorrow !

[@8bitthemepark]

Wow, perfect timing! Have an amazing time!!

[@liszt77777]

such a high-quality video. This deserves more likes

[@8bitthemepark]

Very kind of you! I'm very happy with how the video is performing tho! :)

[@bosansekali898]

Seeing Splash at number 2 and knowing what Disney has done with the ride in the US is so heartbreaking💔

[@jackdr20roblox29]

Great list. I like how Tokyo Disney resort has loads of clones and exclusive rides at the same time

[@8bitthemepark]

It’s a really nice balance! Lots of nostalgia but also lots of great unique stuff too!

[@Btn1136]

Our first international trip with the kids will be Japan. We need for the kids to see splash mountain. Tragic what they did here.

[@byghostlight1]

Thanks for this helpful rundown, in a few months Tokyo will be my first Disney park/s ever! Just enough to sell a ride, without too many spoilers.

[@8bitthemepark]

Oh awesome! Exactly what I was going for, glad I could be helpful!

[@clydeeusebio1800]

can you do a video of character meet and greets in both parks, I heard Tokyo has some rare characters!

[@8bitthemepark]

Ooh nice idea! The actual meet n greet areas are all pretty standard, but we do get some interesting characters roaming sometimes. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ratxths]

スプラッシュマウンテンが変わらないことを祈っています 取り扱っていただいてありがとうございます。

[@sorcerermickeyfanguy6271]

I’m not sure if you accept requests, but please do a video where you rank some of the former Tokyo Disney resort attractions, like the ones that no longer exist in the parks?

[@8bitthemepark]

Always love hearing new ideas, so thanks! Might be tricky as the only defunct rides I’ve personally done are Space Mountain and soon Buzz (and I guess Swiss Family Treehouse if that never reopens?). Would be fun to dive into some of the history of the resort some time though, it’s not really an area I’ve talked about.

[@katherineevans8818]

Chandu at #3!??!?! bbooooooo. #1

[@Preppyweppyclubpenguino]

I really hope they make stitch encounter stitch’s great escape

[@8bitthemepark]

That would actually be so good I would love that. Would be weird having basically the same Stitch animatronic in 2 attractions at the same park though, but I’m not complaining! 😂

[@WaltWalnuts]

Have you ever made videos compaing the cloned attractions to their other counterparts around the world?

[@8bitthemepark]

I have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5yUZpeep5Khd68si=zNnQboYtjcrQjFZK

[@Alex-vm3wk]

I went to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea last month and really enjoyed it, but I still think Disneyland in California is better overall. My biggest gripe is the lack of character in some areas, like Adventureland. In Tokyo, it's too spread out with a lot of empty space, and the floors feel too clean and new. In California, the cracked, uneven floors give it more of an authentic adventure feel, which I prefer. But DisneySea is really something else, I do prefer Guardians of the galaxy mission breakout more than Tokyo’s tower of terror but I can’t lie the theming is really good on that ride.

[@jackdr20roblox29]

@@Alex-vm3wk definitely agree

[@8bitthemepark]

Glad you pointed out the floors. It sounds silly but it’s one of my biggest gripes with Tokyo Disneyland. It seems like they’re in the process of updating the park bit by bit tho so I think in a few years it’ll all be much nicer.

[@bosansekali898]

No way Cali Disneyland is better than DisneySea. It is even arguable that Cali Disneyland is better than Tokyo Disneyland. I went to Cali Disneyland five times before going to Tokyo's for the first time. Yes, California has that nostalgic intimate feeling and slightly shorter queues, but the cast members, food, and ride maintenance in Tokyo is well above Cali. Even from my rose tinted glasses view of California Disneyland, I think Tokyo Disneyland is better.

[@Alex-vm3wk]

@@bosansekali898 I was comparing Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland not Disney sea. Disney sea is on a whole other level and there’s really no other Disney park to compare it except for maybe MAYBE Epcot but that’s it. But yea you’re right about the maintenance part. All be it Disneyland in California is more of a local park so they do frequently fix/refurb rides since we would notice what’s working and what’s not. I love enchanted tale of beauty and the beast but I prefer rise of the resistance when comparing ride systems and show scenes but I do admit it’s beautiful while rise is fun

[@sorcerermickeyfanguy6271]

I’m so happy you enjoyed Tokyo Disney! I went there for the first time three months ago and I saw plenty of characters! At Tokyo Disneyland despite me visiting only world bazaar, Tomorrowland, fantasyland, and toontown, I got to see nearly 40 characters in a single day

[@nandoginkaku7610]

I wish the American parks would be handed over to OLC to handle them. DCA and park would get the love they rightfully deserve and need for decades.

[@8bitthemepark]

Yeah but they’d lose annual passes, close at 9pm every night, have no ticketed seasonal events and have a bunch more rules to follow. The grass is always greener!

[@sorcerermickeyfanguy6271]

@@8bitthemeparkoh I kinda forgot about that

[@nandoginkaku7610]

@8bitthemepark but that's only true for tokyo dland and sea. Who's to say they'd carry that over to the American parks.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

Splash Mountain is forever top tier, the people who hate it especially the ones who call it "racist" really don't have appreciation for creative things

[@liamcollinson5695]

It's a little bit disappointing they couldn't have English too phantom manor at Disneyland Paris says things in french and English

[@idk-zt8rx]

Cheese ride will always be number one for me 🐭🧀🌷

[@8bitthemepark]

Rightly so!!! 🐭❤️

[@gameplayxtreme3389]

Wait a minute - you worked at Europa Park? Great video btw!

[@8bitthemepark]

Thank you! Yea I did! I was a ride op there for a year. Worked on most of the rides in the park!

[@パスタおいしい-t1n]

シンドバッドの評価が高くてとても嬉しいです。

[@Jaden.252]

this might be kinda stupid but what i think was maybe like jasmines carpets are there cause its maybe trying to mimic the movie where the grand castle is like surrounded by poorer areas.. or maybe its nothing at all idk hahah

[@8bitthemepark]

Hmm I hadn’t thought of it like that… I really wish they’d built the palace and the Cave of Wonders to be honest, they’re both so iconic

[@cuca402]

Great video! Sinbad being at #3 is too low but at the same time I somehow agree with this ranking haha

[@8bitthemepark]

I love all my babies it was so hard to choose 😫

[@ryanstreasures2491]

Sorry for seeing this almost two weeks later, I was actually in California having a great time at Disneyland when you uploaded this, but great ranking!! Lots of rides I want to go on in your top 10. I was especially glad to see Splash Mountain so high on your list. I agree with all the wonderful things you said about it and I just really hope that The Oriental Land Company can keep it around for decades to come and that I’ll get to ride it someday. I definitely missed Splash Mountain when I was at Disneyland last week!

[@aeline7493]

it seems crazy to me that all the shows are only in Japanese. As someone who grew up at Disneyland Paris, all the shows are a mix of french and english. We also have the stitch character show and there's two every hour, one in english and one in french

[@Theredfox1983]

When he showed splash mountain those two times me: I’m going to find you I.p address another ride: your good for now

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

2 hour long theme park ranking, I love to see it. I'll check this out when I can.

[@8bitthemepark]

Honestly I could have gone on for MUCH longer!

[@BlackMambaFan124]

please do a video on potential expansions to the Tokyo Disney resort

[@8bitthemepark]

Ooh great idea! I’ve done one specifically about DisneySea but it would be fun to talk about where a 3rd park could go.

[@jssfrk161]

Omg, watching this slowly all day and the Anna & Elsa scene of playing as kids lined up perfectly with my kids watching frozen in the background😊

[@8bitthemepark]

@@jssfrk161 Aww that’s so sweet!

[@devonalomar9012]

Excellent Video. Subscribed. Too bad no Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour anymore(I have a Hero's Medal from it though).
