New Entertainment at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014 and Tokyo DisneySea in 2015
At Tokyo Disneyland
“Once Upon a Time”
A fantastic and heartwarming nighttime entertainment, “Once Upon a Time” richly using projection mapping technology. Projection mapping makes it possible to project images in a way that fits the contours of buildings and other structures to produce a three-dimensional effect. This is the first time for this technology to be used in an entertainment program at Tokyo Disney Resort®.
Many of the inspiring stories from the Disney films, including Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and Alice in Wonderland will be vividly projected in 3D on the exterior of Cinderella Castle, the symbol of Tokyo Disneyland. This show will also include popular musical pieces from these films and special effects, such as on-stage pyrotechnics.
Show Facts
- Duration: About 15 minutes
- Venue: Cinderella Castle
- Opening Date: Spring or summer 2014 (tentative)
- Investment Amount: About 2 billion yen (tentative)

As King Triton hosts a musical concert, familiar Disney characters, such as Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian, will present a mesmerizing world under the sea, just as in the movie, with lively music, songs and dynamic performances.

Its hard to see all these new shows coming in the near future and no new one for Disneyland Paris. It´s a shame.
ReplyDeleteIt's simple: TDL has a lot of money and DLP don't have any. It's not a question of shame here as TDL pay by themselves their own attraction, the WDC don't give them money.
ReplyDeleteYes...that´s right but its hard to see and read about all these fantastic new attractions. But I can`t wait to ride Ratatoille.
