  • Is this the most elaborately themed park ever built? Tokyo DisneySea cranks theming up to 11! Once you visit, you'll never view a theme park the same ever again... There's a lot to talk about with this place, but we'll do our best to discuss as much as we can!

      Not really. It cost about $3.1 billion to build. Alot less than Shanghai Disneyland's or Hong Kong Disneyland's construction costs. DisneySea was intended to be built in the Queen Mary/Shoreline Village area in Long Beach, California but Disney was bleeding cash due to the financial loss from Disneyland Paris at the time so the project was shelved. Later, Disney decided to build it in Tokyo when the Oriental Land Company wanted to open the second gate at Tokyo Disneyland Resort.

      @@namviet7998 Yeah but compare it to Tokyo Disneyland, it cost 50% more to build, and that's adjusting for inflation (inflation in Japan not the US). Which isn't terribly surprising since all the other Disneyland* type parks follow a particular mold, using similar rides, so a lot of R&D money is saved there. I'm sure this park would cost even more if built in Shanghai or HK.

    Fun fact: When Disney was designing Port Disney back in the late 1990s, they had a park called DisneySea, but after that fell through in California, which was supposed to be an expansion to Disneyland, they pretty much brought the ideas over to Japan and implemented them here to open in 2001 :)

      It certainly does look like it was probably supposed to be in Long Beach CA (it's City council didn't want to deal with the traffic, among other things). As it is, California Adventure's Paradise Pier also bears a resemblance to that same port.

    • @nyckmo9047
      @nyckmo9047 Před 4 lety +1

      From what I've read, the Port Disney project originally planned for Long Beach was supposed to be a hybrid aquarium - similar to that of the Living Seas pavillion in Epcot but on a much grander scale.This project did have a Mount Prometheus as seen in concept art, but I don't think the attractions were the same. Mermaid Lagoon and the Arabian Coast areas weren't in the original plans either. Although the park concept morphed, the overall theme is generally in the same spirit. Side note: if Euro Disney wasn't such a financial disaster, I wonder if we would've seen WestCot instead of DCA come to fruition. Sigh...

    Totally agree with your opinion! It's not the best all-round park, but it has easily the best theming, atmosphere and general vibes of any theme park I've ever seen. I love that many of the rides don't rely on big IP's like other Disney parks - I mean, who actually cares about the Journey to the Center of the Earth movie?
    ...By the way, when you go back, you HAVE to ride Sinbad's Storybook Voyage in Arabian Coast. It's amazing, videos hardly do it justice.

    Been 18 times to Japan (just returned a month ago from my last trip), but somehow never even really considered going here. During my last trip Nagashima Spa Land actually was the first major theme park I visited in Japan (disregarding Huis ten Bosch as that was something completely different). And that's also what got me here. But after seeing this, DisneySea certainly will be on my list for my next visit! This just looks so amazing...

  • @bluedragon9925
    @bluedragon9925 Před 4 lety +79

    Pretty much the entire reason this park is so much more elaborately themed than any other Disney park is because Disney themselves didn't finance its construction. That bill was entirely footed by The Oriental Land Company, the owners of the Tokyo Disney Resort who actually *license* the Disney brand name and IP's from them. Walt Disney Imagineering basically took full advantage of this and used the park as a showcase of what they're truly capable of when they aren't being held back by Disney's executives constantly cutting their budgets (as was the case with almost every single one of their state-side projects at the time like California Adventure, which ironically opened in the same year).

    • @jaquitavulpix3418

      The imagineers don’t want to cut cost’s, the executive’s do, but that’s just how business works. They weren’t entirely funded by Disney for this park, which is why they had much more money. It’s designed by the same imagineers, based out of Glendale, as every other Disney Park, but they got a much higher budget.

Taylor, it had always made me sad that you hadn’t been to a Disney park and felt that same feeling that people like me get when you enter the gates.

    • @zacg_
      @zacg_ Před 4 lety +13

      It's a cool thought but one of the reasons that extreme thrill coasters aren't ever seen in highly detailed theme parks (though Phantasialand is maybe an exception) is because not only would that be super expensive but it would be hard to make it make sense. Theming on a coaster is hard to appreciate if you are going super fast. Also, if you want the theme to really work well you have to come up with a way to justify the existence of the track with the overall theme. That's why mine trains make for good themed coasters. But a Steel Vengeance in a Disney setting would just be hard to pull off. You'd have to do some kind of mountain and keep the track itself hidden from other park guests. Then you'd have to have theming that isn't entirely missed by riders going 70mph.
      Don't get me wrong. If Disney did something like that and the second half where you are weaving inside the SV structure was made to seem like moving through cave holes then that would be UNBELIEVABLE. But it would be really hard to pull off southport breaking from the story and theming.

    • @neo3888
      @neo3888 Před 4 lety +5

      @@zacg_ That's something I completely agree with, which is why I really could only *imagine* the concept of it, the possibility of there being a true balance between a ride featuring sheer intensity and thrill while also telling a cohesive, immersive and detail-oriented story is just inconceivable, especially with the reasons you've pointed out. But I believe that there are people out there, specifically imagineers, that could make it happen to an extent. My best bet at this being a reality is if Disney patents a sort of hybrid between a high-speed slot-car system (Test Track and Journey) and a mine train, and features the storytelling elements at the start (Space Mtn's queue and chain lift, Test Track's numerous trials, etc.) and then implementing the intense coaster-like portion of it around a less detailed part, such as in the dark. But making it themed *during* these intense parts is definitely a challenge, though I've heard that's what they're going for in the upcoming Cosmic Rewind coaster at EPCOT. This is to assume that Disney is willing to put out a ride of this scale and budget, and of course the inevitable IP to tie it in, it's gotta be something worth making, such as a Marvel theme.

I'm kinda sad you didn't go on Sinbad's Storybook Voyage because it was probably one of my favorite rides ever but Journey to the Center of the Earth was fantastic too. Oh and the Big Band Beat show was a must see! Definitely go back to see the volcano because it erupts every 30 minutes and it's crazzzyyyyyy.

    Spoilers for your next DisneySea trip: You definitely won't get wet on Aquatopia unless it's actually raining. The ride is super chill and depending on the track of your ride vehicle, there are moments where you think you'll get wet but you get saved just in time. I totally recommend riding Sinbad's Storybook Voyage in the Arabian Coast, especially because the wait is super short. My favorite parts were the music and Chandu. I'm not sure if you saw it (because I missed it when I was there) or if it's still even there, but there's an area called "Fortress Explorations" that's like a bit like a playground. It's near the Mediterranean Harbor. (Sorry if other people have already told you these things. Looking forward to your next visit!)

    One of my favourite parts of Disney Sea is in the American Waterfront. Not the New York City side but the New England Cape Cod side. It's just so pretty.
    Tokyo Disney Sea quickly became my favourite Disney park ever.... and I used to be a Cast Member at Disneyland in Anaheim. I hope that you are able to go back and see her in her full beauty next time.

    I was in DisneySea in 2018 and still 2 years later I can't really believe what happened there. I live around 30 minutes away from Phantasialand, made an internship in Europa Park for 8 months in 2016 so I am really used to great theming, details all over the place and the wish to bring people into another world. But DisneySea was something totally different. I watched your video and I agree with 95% of what you are saying - this place is magic. Even after 2 days in the park I am sure I haven't seen everything. Thankfully, the Vocano was not under construction when I was there, I really hope it won't be when you revisit it!

  • @lindatannock
    @lindatannock Před 4 lety +1

    I'd love to go there sometime! Looks incredible.
    I'm a bit biased about Europa Park though, as i worked there for 4 years. The park is absolutely stunning, and even better now than it was when I worked there in the 90's.
    It didn't feel like working for a big corporation like Disney. It's a family owned park, and even though it's huge, we all knew each other. It was like being part of a big family. (I skated in the ice show, and did the first one the park had in '92).

    This review is an exact output of my thoughts on the park. Theming was superb and well worth the visit, but I agree there are way too little rides that my party ended up leaving at around 4 pm after appreciating the views and shopping. I'm going back to Japan soon, but I feel like I'll be going to Tokyo Disneyland instead, while a visit to DisneySea will be planned for when big changes come to the park.

Tower of Terror and Center of the Earth were both being refurbed. I was super bummed out... buuut OMFG that park is way too cool even without those two rides. It was insane.

    You can tell the imagineers REALLY cared about story telling through theming because I know they have a teddy bear mascot named Duffy, (the story is Mickey was going on like a long voyage out to sea or something and Minnie gave him a teddy bear named Duffy so he doesn’t get lonely) and throughout the parks Tokyo Disney parks there’s LITTLE PHOTO SHOOT AREAS YOU CAN SIT YOUR DUFFY BEARS ON AND TAKE PHOTOS OF. I really think that little detail is so cute and neat. Was suppose to go to Disneysea next year but idk cuz corona 😭😭😭

( I don’t know but they probably going to do kinda like this in Disney Paris Studios, the new part ) Best Disney Shows ever: the music, the Life Singers, the dancers and the costumes... wow Magical ✨ Like you said and a lot of people who went to Disney Sea ... so detailed so themed... the best themed Disney Parc ... and so many different popcorn buckets! ( I bought 10 different ones 😊 ) and so many Mickey/Duffy food items ✨ Magical 😃

    The Fortress Explorations and Sinbad’s Storybook Voyage are two of my favorite things to do there. Ariel’s Grotto and Indiana Jones closely follow those up. Disney Sea is absolute magic and though I’ve been there twice, I will definitely be back. I’m pretty whatever about most all other Disney Parks (I prefer Universal parks by far) but Disney Sea is my #1 overall theme park in the world.

    "white christmas lights everywhere"
    Not quite, the reason there are lights everywhere is because that area is themed as an early 1900s amusement park (specifically luna park) where electric lighting was still a novelty. The library of congress has some excellent historical photos for anyone curious.

    I kind of vaguely heard of Tokyo Disneysea but it sounded like Disney's version of Seaworld or something (basically that didn't sound interesting to me.) But lately I have been really getting more of an idea and I am pretty impressed now. I'd really like to visit some day. And I would like to visit Tokyo Disneyland too just for the nostalgia of experiencing a Magic Kingdom in another country but if I had to choose: DisneySea all the way. Your review and filming of this was really great btw. Even though the weather wasn't the greatest and there was construction I was still fascinated.

    Quick pointer, mobile Fastpass is an option if you have the official resort app, but it can only be downloaded with a Japanese app store account and used with a Japanese Disney account over Japanese mobile data (i.e. you can't use an international account to either download or use the app). If you know your stuff, you can set up Japanese accounts and download the app pretty easily, and then get a Japanese SIM card when you arrive in country.

    On top of Flounder's Flying Fish credit, make sure to ride Sindbad's Storybook Voyage in Arabian Coast on your next visit. I know you don't like Small World, but apart from being a boat ride with a song, the two rides are totally different, so I think you'd enjoy it. Plus it's practically always a walk on. Also Big Band Beat in the American Waterfront is a must watch, by far the best show a theme park has ever put together!!
