This New Disney Expansion is TOO GOOD to Ignore

[@fredlopez5213]

What I like about Fantasy Springs is that it feels like Disney returning to its roots. Tangled is like a classic Fantasyland dark ride that only focuses on one part of the story. Peter Pan lets guests experience iconic moments from the movie without caring about story canon. Frozen is a fairytale ride with conflict (though the Hans stuff could have been done better). Tinkerbell is a unique smaller-scale attraction thats not just another type of spinner. This would feel right at home at Disneyland (and while I am mostly against clones, its fine when both parks involved have a lot of high quality exclusives like Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea).

[@ZeroSonata]

The thing about Fantasy Springs is that it cost 320billion Yen (~2billion USD) to build. Disney will never spend that much money to make something this high quality for the parks they control. It's just not how they operate anymore :/ Also, Fantasy Springs likely has pretty long exclusivity agreements for these rides given how much they paid for it.

[@FG-tu4fq]

I love that the Tinker Bell ride has nods to her film series.

[@emmamarshall3854]

How cute is the cheese animatronic ❤

[@AFOLegos]

I sincerely hope they do NOT replace the idea of a villains land with this though - if this went into blue sky expansion instead i'd be so sad

[@AuraLeafstorm]

It took decades for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast to get rides, but I hope some of the other Disney Renaissance films start getting some love now that we're talking expansions. The Arabian Coast right there at DisneySea is the perfect spot for an Aladdin dark ride or themed coaster, and it's downright bizarre that The Lion King doesn't have a ride anywhere yet.

[@hlavco]

That whole magic carpet escape scene when Aladdin steals the lamp from the cave is a perfect premise for a thrill ride.

[@AuraLeafstorm]

@@hlavco Oh I agree. I think a Cave of Wonders escape-themed dark ride/coaster hybrid would be perfect for an Aladdin ride. Something taking a page from the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, or Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure at Universal.

[@ChandlerWithaZ]

imagine a ride similar to like revenge of the mummy mixed with cosmic rewind. for a cave of wonders escape ride

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

Tokyo Disneyland does not have the same deal as Shanghai. Since they paid for the park, they have 100% exclusivity , it’s why Honey Hunt was not in California and Hong Kong, they had to use Florida’s ride instead

[@TheNeidSide]

I am not convinced any of Fantasy Springs will leave Japan. Looking at all the exclusive rides that originated from Disney Sea, none of them have made it to the states (Journey to the Center of the Earth, Aquatopia, etc.) Fantasy Springs was built for two reasons: more family friendly rides and adding more Disney IP to Disney Sea. The parks in the US do not suffer from these issues as all the parks include an abundant of IPs and family friendly attractions. Plus, there are already Frozen and Peter Pan rides in WDW. I think the idea and concepts that Fantasy Springs reintroduced to the parks will eventually find their way to the states, but I do not think we will have any of these same attractions in any other Disney park.

[@jimmyjamsburner6944]

I slightly disagree with this: Journey to the Center of Earth is just Test Track/Cars. Indiana Jones is just Dinosaur. Raging Spirits is just a roller coaster, Nemo Sea Rider is a giant Star Tours. Aquatopia is Luigi’s Roadsters, 20,000 Leagues is Peter Pan’s flight. None of the SEA rides have an IP strong enough to make the jump except maybe Nemo (which also has excellent capacity). Fantasy Springs is like a turn key new land that would basically work in any park (except Animal Kingdom, and hopefully Epcot but I don’t trust Iger)

[@saintbaraemusic]

I'm fairly confident fantasy springs is not going to be replicated ever again - I feel like OLC wouldn't allow disney to recreate it in the US and it's good that international parks have exclusives

[@xBINARYGODx]

why should internation parks have "exclusives"? Most people of, for example, the US (or really, any other wester county) are not going to other countries for Disney, and Disney didnt go international to do anything other than get more people local to teh region of that country.

[@jaredfamily123]

I absolutely love how breath taking and unique this area is. Sure we’ve see some similar stuff but this is done in such a cool and different way. It feels like every ride, corner, and area is just detailed to the brim. I love the scenes but I thought that the frozen and both Peter Pan rides would be much shorter so that’s good. I do wish the Rapunzel bride had maybe one or two more scenes, but It still looks like an amazing experience especially for couples. I wish we could see a form of a ride in the new fantasyland one day.

Just finished my week at Disney World. Incredible time. Had my first Dole Whip and had 3 of the Mint Julep Frozen Lemonades from Casey's Corner. Great food all week, too. Got on Pirates and Haunted Mansion 3 times each, Tron and Guardians twice. Did every single ride I wanted to. Bought some nice souvenirs (including a Haunted Mansion hat) and got compliments from the cast on my Haunted Mansion shirt. Also, got to see Tiana's Bayou waterfall in action as they were running empty log flumes. Hope you have just as much fun on your next trip!

Not to pile in any controversy, but there's alot about Fantasy Springs that feels like the unfulfilled potential of New Fantasyland. An immersive area full of state-of-the-art attractions that still hold true to the roots of the original dark rides of Fantasyland. I don't know about bringing the whole area over as it is, but if there was ever another planned Fantasyland refresh in the works, I'd use Fantasy Springs as the guide to go by.

[@ChienaAvtzon]

Exactly what I was thinking. Especially when Fantasy Springs is combined the “Beauty and the Beast” ride, in Tokyo Disneyland. This is what everyone assumed Disney would build during the New Fantasyland expansion, in Magic Kingdom. Fantasyland in the original Disneyland is great, the one is Orlando looks pretty but lacks any substance.

[@KeeperOfKale222]

Before the end of the video I was just thinking about where fantasy springs would go, and because of the name I immediately imagined it as a Disney Springs expansion, almost where the shopping eventually leads to the entrance of fantasy springs. But I’d honestly like to see it be it’s own park combined with the Villains expansion. Sort of like a dark and light theme.

[@Gracie287]

Fantasy Springs seems absolutely amazing! I agree that Disneyland is the most logical stateside fit for it. I'd love to see a version of Fantasy Springs at the Magic Kingdom, but it's hard to imagine how they'd incorporate it without significantly reducing it or taking out some existing rides to make room (please no!). Hollywood Studios wouldn't be my first pick for Fantasy Springs, but I could see Disney making it work there.

[@ridgepatterson7692]

Yeah, I’d love it here too (even if it means we lose the best bathrooms in MK lol), but I’d hate to lose my beloved Railroad again for construction. I remember meeting kids that were 6 years old who never got to ride the trains when they reopened in 2023!

One thing to consider is that OLC's business is pretty much just Tokyo Disney and hotel management. Also, employee salaries and benefits are laughable compared with the US parks. For DIsney, theme parks are just one segment of the megacorporation. Profits from that help to make up for losses in other segments.

I definitely can see "Fantasy Springs" to the space behind Tiana's Bayou Adventure/ Critter Country, as both those lands feature nature heavily in the design and rock work and would be an easy transition between the Critter country area and a Fantasy Springs land.

[@brava_centauri]

my take? do fantasy springs in disneyland but do different IPs. same concept, different films. maybe like a lion king mini-land, a lilo and stitch mini-land, and a encanto mini-land? these are all personal pitches but they're all very popular ip with diverse lands and no current rides. not sure what the legal barriers are with the OLC but it seems they dont want any tokyo disney attractions being cloned.

[@duplexidemic]

Has a Japanese ride EVER been adapted to any other park? Journey to the center of the earth, Monsters inc Ride & go seek, Baymax' Happy Ride, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Enchanted Tale of Beauty & the Beast, etc have all been widely successful and well received yet have never shown up anywhere else. I feel like there's some kind of legal thing going on with the Japanese government.

[@jaybruminator]

You have to remember oriental land company owns the parks and pays disney a fee for licensing. Another comment said they probably have 100% exclusively to the ride they create and don't have to share

[@happiestplace3754]

OLC owns and operates Tokyo Disney Resort and I believe they have an exclusivity on all attractions. Hong Kong and Shanghai are partly owned by Disney, so they have 5 year contacts that they won't duplicate attractions in the US for that time. Disney might not be able to replicate Fantasy Springs at all, or at least not in their current forms.

The reason why there is water in the castle for Frozen Journey is because the guests are meant to be looking through memories guided by the trolls.

They could do rides on this level but not with those ips at the Disneyland parks. That way they don't have to wait to make them. They have a lot of movies that don't have any rides. And maybe doing what could be classed as a less popular movie could bring up the movie again. Like as an example if kids on on an Oliver and company ride, Disney may see an increase in watches of the movie and merchandise based on the characters.

[@nisanbarzion]

Disneyland hands down. Feels so much at home. But I don’t know if they have the room for it at the Disneyland expansion area. But that would be amazing if they can do it. BTW: is the exclusivity 5 years for opening rides or break ground on them? You said tron opened in 2017 and was supposed to open in magic kingdom in 2021. That’s 4 years including construction. So my guess the mouse exclusivity is from opening to opening which makes sense AND fits Disneyland forward. BTW: off topic but my guess for DCA expansion must include Coco-land including the land of the dead as depicted in the movie. It makes so much sense for SoCal that it should be an exclusive land.

We might get 1 or 2 of the rides, but I doubt we will get the entire area. Disney usually copies a ride or 2 but not entire areas.

No other international park got the same deal with exclusivity becuase OLC gets rights to the ride mechanics. Disney still owns the IP of Peter pan ect that's not the problem they don't have the right to the exclusive ride mechanics developed for OLC when they pay for it. This was back when disney thought a Japan park would be a hokey local park and purposely didn't invest in it themselves and instead made it more like a license deal. Or do you have a better reason why not a single original ride from OLC has been replicated at any other park?

So, I was kind of wondering what other attraction could possibly be a replacement for the Peter Pan area of Fantasy Springs so possibility maybe they could replace Peter Pan idea with Beauty and the Beast in the Disneyland forward side because basically that is a pretty good trackless ride and we know that they are good with that themeing based on what I seen in videos of new fantasyland.

This would also allow a connection with Villains Land. I would replace Small World with Tangled. I’d build a new Small World behind Dumbo Circus with a proper Small World facade. I’d add a Beauty and the Beast attraction show building behind the Be Our Guest Restaurant with Belle’s Cottage converted to the queue and attraction entrance.

The USA has it's fantasy springs, its called Galaxy's Edge. Sorry to burst your bubble, you will have to wait 5 years for the exclusivity breaks, on top of that, Disney won 't shell out all the money,

Florida is closer to home so I have o say that. I do like the idea if a multiple princess area. would also enjoy the villains park or a park for Marry Poppins and the other live action films or a toon town with a money bin or a Gargoyles, gravity falls star vs, amphibia, owl house , ghost and molly, Kim possible, phineas and ferb area or a kingdom hearts area.

The building bit in frozen where you go under the arch reminds me of Pirates!

[@GoodXylophone]

I went to Tokyo a few months ago, and Fantasy Springs was awesome. I couldnt get on the Peter Pan ride though, but the Tangled and Frozen rides were wonderful.

I would love to see at least the Rapunzel part in MK, she deserves more than just a bathroom, though I admit I have no idea how they would do it.

[@karebear3152]

I think the point you're missing is that Hong Kong and Shanghai are still owned and operated by Disney. Tokyo is far less... Their exclusivity clauses don't have a set amount of years attached. They're run by the Oriental Land Company and pay Disney royalties to use their IP. I don't think we'll ever get anything more than halfassed knockoffs of these attractions, much like how our Winnie the Pooh rides are similar but far less than Tokyo's Winnie the Pooh attraction.

[@JustDuckDoinStuff]

My guess is they’ll update Frozen in Norway, then either add Peter Pan to UK or update MK’s ride (with the new set permit, likely not), and put Rapunzel into Germany. Cheapest/lowest effort strategy. Do we want that? Of course not. Will they do it anyway? Yes.

Zootopia should replace Hollywood land instead of Avatar since Zootopia’s skyline is technically an animal version of Los Angeles’ skyline

I love the hidden reference by making your video a 23:19 length

[@callmethecommentcountess9329]

Over the version of Rapunzel is way different than the Disney classic

Cries in Disneyland Paris

[@MrStGeorgeIllawarra]

Considering that no original creation for the Oriental Land Company has NEVER EVER been recreated elsewhere the answer is if you wanna see it, book a flight for Japan.

[@baystated]

Is there a new Disney animated feature film in the pipeline that, if its a big hit, would be a good compliment for the land if/when they build an Anaheim Fantasy Springs? Are there any other non-animation Disney films planned that you think would make great parks attractions?

[@ChienaAvtzon]

Fantasy Springs is basically what everyone assumed the New Fantasyland expansion, in Magic Kingdom, was going to be. Only “The Little Mermaid” was until correctly during that project. “Beauty and the Beast”, “Tangled”, and to an extent “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” were done dirty. New Fantasyland looks aesthetically pleasing, but it lacks any substance. Those “enhanced” meet-and-greets, and overpriced restaurants are extremely dated.

[@jennierod81]

Wait they roller skate at the end of Frozen? 🤨😂 I don’t think we’ll get the equivalent of FS in the States but I really hope we at LEAST get a Tangled ride.

[@eddieo6466]

A lot of rides have 5 year exclusivity... Maybe California can build Beauty and Beast castle ride.. but will they allow a 2nd castle??

[@ginadoyle4089]

I find it interesting Fantasy Springs focuses on IP that’s all over 10 years old. What’s going to happen in 10 more when there aren’t any captivating movies since sequels are all they do now…?.

[@Flyoff1234]

If only Disney management was as willing to greenlight projects as OLC. Give the Imagineers money to build things instead of propping up a failing film studio and streaming app. So jealous of both Tōkyō parks!

[@emmamarshall3854]

Fantasy springs at Tokyo disney sea is awesome they do it better then Disney
