This New Disney Expansion is TOO GOOD to Ignore

Fantasy Springs looks REAAAL nice. And I mean REEEAAAAAALLL nice. Honestly, I'd be shocked if we didn't get something from this land within the next 6-12 years. Wait, what? 6-12 years? Alright... Back to waiting....

It’s so discouraging that the Japanese Disney parks that are not owned or operated by Disney do Disney better than Disney does Disney. DO BETTER DISNEY!

[@jph4852]

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.

[@ItzAdrian02]

Well the same imagineers that create disney parks and lands in Us & Paris created fantasy springs so it'd basically management, disney and olc are very different in how they want their parks

[@gridley]

Even before the Disney Co became obnoxiously political, their 2 parks in 2001 (DCA & DisneySea) indicated big problems in the US were looming ahead.

[@dayoldbread1696]

@@jph4852I mean many cast members were living in their cars or getting their hours cut a lot. Not to mention pay starts at $18 which isn’t really enough considering the very high cost of living in Anaheim/orange county. To be fair we have no idea if the same happens at the overseas Disney parks but so far there’s been no reports. But I know at least here in California disney should step up their game in terms of how the treat and pay cast members

[@GoddessofWisdom]

Walt Disney Imagineering still designs the Japanese parks, they just can do a lot more stuff there because employment and material costs are way down there compared to the US.

[@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).

[@FG-tu4fq]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@HenshinHead]

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.

[@jaredfamily4626]

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.

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!

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.

[@thinkpink1021]

Definitely not with Japanese government.. TDR is 100% private. I’m so tired of people getting all Asian parks mixed up.

[@JPCedars]

You are wrong, Japan has a different agreement with Disney. Since the OLC pays completely for the R&D for their new rides, they have complete exclusivity forever. Pooh, monsters inc, B&TB, and the new stuff will never be cloned outside of Tokyo. Please don’t give your followers hope

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!

[@stephenwu6911]

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. It also explains why the show scenes earlier into the ride feel like small glimpses into scenes of the movie since that's exactly what they're meant to be!

One thing to take into account is that Tokyo Disney is located on a manmade island...they have very little room to expand, so they will usually put up the money to make something amazing/breathtaking. TBH Fantasy Springs (and FantasyLand back in America) are not really my kind of ride, but they do look well-done. It does kind of remind of of Moana's Water attraction at EPCOT but just more fleshed out.

The oriental land company has exclusive rights indefinitely, not 5 years. Disney does not have the same rights in Japan that they do with the other parks.

I was going to add: Why would Disney allow a third party to have exclusivity rights over their own IP? Licensing fees be damned lol

[@Ratchetfan321]

@BAM5636 you both realize there is a reason disney NEVER made a deal like they did with OLC again right? 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? Unless something changed and they also have a 5 year deal now instead of the old deal like other parks. I don't see ANY of this happening.

[@NicoStruller]

@@BAM5636 Sure its Disneys IP, nobody said otherwise. But the deal is that NO Ride System with the same IP can be brought to any other Park worldwide in FOREVER! What's so complicated to understand?

Personally, I don't think that adding Fantasy Springs to Hollywood studios would be a good idea in the long run. Hollywood Studios already garners several E ticket style attractions with toy story land star wars and sunset boulevard, so adding on another area with new E-ticket rides might cause that park to get a bit too busy with people.

[@kirkvandewalker3574]

Hmmm... I would say Tangled for both Disneyland Forward at Disneyland and Beyond Frontierland for the Magic Kingdom (because there's enough material to do thematic transitions respectfully from Tiana's Bayou at Disneyland and Big Thunder at the Magic Kingdom.) Frozen Kingdom/Arendelle might get built though because Frozen is popular and lots of people would want to step into it here in California. But... we'll wait and see what is announced and what is planned at this year's (and now sold out) D23 Expo.

I see 3 ways this, or at least its attractions, come to Disneyworld, besides Studios: 1. Beyond Big Thunder 2.

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. Also, we rarely get the new rides from Tokyo, possibly because they are not owned by Disney. Pooh’s Honey Hunt, Monsters Inc Ride and Go Seek, Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, and everything in DisneySea - none of it has come to American parks.

[@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.

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.

[@Princessmisery]

Seems like a stretch if western disney parks will ever get anything from Tokyo parks. The Disney company here isn’t THAT generous. Tho I’d like to be wrong. However, if we hypothetically do get it, I’d imagine the budget hammer will not be kind to us. OLC really gets all the good stuff….

The best I hope for WDW is that the Tangled boat ride comes over either by replacing Small World or squeezing a new show building behind that area with the queue starting between Small World and the Tangled bathroom area at Magic Kingdom. It’d be tight and I’m not sure if logistically messing with that backstage area is possible but it feels doable. Maybe they can get creative by moving the Small World queue. Zero chance WDW gets the other stuff given how it already has Frozen and I can’t imagine Disney parks execs approving an old non-core IP attraction at this point like Peter Pan.

Disneyland's expansion seems the most obvious global expansion site for Fantasy Springs. For Disney World scattering the IP makes more sense, putting the individual rides and attractions in the various different parts of the parks as appropriate. Same would be true of Paris.

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.

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

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.

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

[@overthecounterbeanie]

When are you going to Tokyo Disney?

[@TheFilmguy450]

Disneyland - I would expand out behind Mickey's ToonTown (I don't own if they have that ability but magic wands can do anything, yes?). I would then replace the Neverland ride with either a Treasure Planet or Atlantis ride, since Peter Pan's Flight is already a thing and those movies would lend themselves well to a Universal Spider-man/Transformers style ride. WDW - Hollywood Studios. Take out Star Tours and move it to Galaxy's Edge proper. The Gertie lake and nearby restaurant go as well. Yes, you lose some cute themeing and styling but the sheer immersiveness of this new land replaces that no problem.

Stop dreaming! The Oriental Land Company (who owns the Japanease Parks) has an exclusivity clause for all Ride Systems with specific IP Combination. Means you won't see any clone of these exact Attractions in FOREVER! Disney can built a Tangled Ride elsewhere that isn't a Boat Ride, what they are doing in Paris (Rapunzel Tea Cups Ride). That's why you haven't seen these Tokyo Disney Unique Attractions anywhere else around the world: Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, The Happy Ride with Baymax, Monsters Inc. Ride & Go Seek (much better than US version), Pooh’s Honey Hunt (very different with 100 Mio more Budget), Journey to Center of the Earth, Aquatopia, Nemo & Friends SeaRider and Sindbad’s Storybook Voyage.

I went to Disney world last week and I really enjoyed Tron.

Fantasy Springs next to the Disney Hotel at Disneyland or next to Pixar Hotel

[@UCRfZb91nX-triozNmzvaRrA]

Sounds great I hope Disneyland will go back to being like the old Disneyland again and Splash Mountain Returns, no more Rethemes just new rides built and keep the old rides the way they are

[@toshibavoodoo]

Agree

[@david40k]

im very surprised you havent gone to tokyo disney as its closer to og DL, better, and someways cheaper than our DL

[@westcoastavenger]

The contract with the OLC does have an exclusivity clause. However, the language does state that Disney can negotiate to lessen the 5 years. At WDW for Tron, that wasn't an issue. Disneyland has a tremendous capacity problem and the company wants to make Disneyland a vacation destination like Orlando. It's like 70-80% locals at Disneyland now. DisneylandForward has been in the works for years. I'd be shocked if during the planing of Fantasy Springs, Disney didn't negotiate building at Disneyland. The blueprint for Frozen seems like an identical match for the parking lot next to the Downtown Disney entrance. Mark Brickey made a great video about that. Disneyland needs to put shovels in the ground like this year. D23 this year will be the most important D23 to date.

The Tron immersion is gorgeous. Totally.

I don’t know how it was in the USA parks but in Paris they just rebuilt the entire castle from scratch among other things so there they where most definitely busy during Covid

[@EspenSGX]

They renovated the castle in Paris and definitely did not rebuild it. And they even did a crap job at that, as the castle is leaking everywhere when it rains. And they didn't touch the walk bridge, which is currently in absolute disrepair. And while we're at it. Space Mountain could use a lick of paint, because good grief!
