Disney reveals ¥500bn expansion plans for Tokyo parks
Disney has revealed plans for a ¥500bn (US$4.5bn, €3.6bn, £2.8bn) expansion of it’s Tokyo resorts as part of a 10-year expansion plan.
Starting in March 2015, the project will boost capacity at both of the resort’s theme parks, Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea. The expansion will almost double the size of the Fantasyland section and create a new theme port at Disney Sea. Developments will include special viewing areas for parades and shows, as well as enhanced restaurants and shops.
While specific new rides have not yet been revealed, reports suggest a Frozen attraction could be on its way, which could consist of the castle featured in the animated film and ways for visitors to experience scenes from the movie, though Disney did not confirm the plans.
Tokyo Disneyland was the second most popular theme park in the world in 2013, with 17.2 million visitors in, after Disney’s Magic Kingdom in Florida. Disney Sea was ranked fourth with 14 million visitors.
