Tokyo Disneyland launches Monsters, Inc ride
Entertainment ( 4 )
CHIBA —
Tokyo Disneyland on Wednesday started up a new ride based on Walt Disney Pictures’ computer animation blockbuster “Monsters, Inc,” produced by Pixar Animation Studios. Hundreds of visitors queued to catch a four-minute ride at the opening of the attraction called “Monsters, Inc Ride and Go Seek!”, the first new ride to open in five years at the popular Tokyo Bay area theme park.
A tram takes visitors through the world of the monsters who in the plot of the 2001 movie generate power in their city, Monstropolis, from the screams of scared children, but later harness their laughter instead.
Fumio Ohtsubo, president of Panasonic, said: “Monsters, Inc is an attraction fully reflecting Disney’s ample imagination. We surely hope that this will be the number one attraction.”
The attraction, located in the park’s Tomorrow Land, is the park’s first to open since it introduced “Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters” in 2004 based on another Disney-Pixar animated movie, “Toy Story.”

The yamate line is quite horrifieng at it's peak hours, but I am sure this one at Tokyo Disneyland should be safe enough for the whole family so let's enjoy!
