Fantasyland Attractions
|
||
| Peter Pan's Flight - " Stow
away on Captain Hook's pirate ship and fly through the night skies over London
on your way to high adventure in Never Land" . It's still as camp as
ever! |
 |
|
 |
||
| Snow White's Adventures -
"
Follow Snow White as her adventures with the Seven Dwarfs and the
Wicked Witch unfold in the menacing forest." Another great one for the
kids. Most of the ride takes place under ultra-violet lights, so wear something
white, and remember to use that anti-dandruff shampoo! |
|
|
 |
||
| Cinderella's Castle Mystery Tour -
"
Can you conquer the evil forces of the Disney Villains in the
Castle?"
Well, the whole thing's still a mystery to me. The
tour narration is in Japanese only. Shame. (Still fun though!) |
|
|
 |
||
| The Mickey Mouse Revue -
"
Your favourite Disney characters appear 'live' through the magic of
Audio-Animatronics, to perform a medley of best-loved tunes" . Another
one for the kids. I thought the puppets looked a bit strange....Mickey looks a
bit like he's on some kind of medication........ |
|
|
 |
||
| Pinocchio's Daring Journey -
"
Travel with Pinocchio on his long, treacherous journey from wooden
puppet to real boy" . You can't help lovin' it! Same format as the Snow
White attraction, but the car moves a little faster. |
|
|
 |
||
| Dumbo The Flying Elephant -
"
Fly high in the Fantasyland sky on the amazing circus
elephant."
It's just a fun-fair type uppy-downy, roundy-roundy thing.
It has one of the slowest moving lines in the park too. If you must ride, get
there early, get there late, or wait 'till the Parade is in full swing (the
lines aren't so bad then). |
|
|
|
||
| Cinderella's Golden Carousel -
"
In a kaleidoscope of colour ninety hand-painted horses whirl to the
tunes from a calliope" . It looks fabulous, get the kids on, and the
camera out! |
|
|
 |
||
| Haunted Mansion - " Take a
ride through an eerie Gothic Mansion where 999 ghostly inhabitants are 'dying'
to meet you" . .....and there's still room for one more! Every Disney
park has it's Hunted House/Phantom Manor, but this is, without doubt, the very
best. The pre-show and narration is in English and the mannequins are tinged
with special, lifelike (or deathlike) paint, making them much more worrying!
The entrance to the graveyard is definitely one of those classic Disney
"
no expense spared" features. Japanese belief and culture nearly
meant that this attraction was crossed off of the list when they built the
park. Fortunately for us, they took a chance! |
|
|
 |
||
| It's A Small World - " Enjoy
the 'happiest cruise that ever sailed' as children of the world sing and dance
to the song 'It's a Small World'" . Apart from the fact that that song
seems to get into every fibre of your brain and take up residence for at least
three days, it's still a great ride. No different from any of the others in the
other three parks. |
|
|
 |
||
| Alice's Tea Party - " A
whimsical array of colourful cups and saucers spin you into a fun-filled
Wonderland"
. They spin me into motion-sickness, but I've always been a
bit lily-livered. If you get sick quick, don't be tempted to spin the
controller in the middle of the cup - it makes you go far too fast. Don't say I
never told you........ |
