"The level of detail on Tokyo Disneyesa is completely out of control. My favorite example is found in their Tower of Terror. But it requires little explanation…"
Which one of the best non-US Disney parks to visit?
Tokyo DisneySa
Hands down, by far, the world's best theme park by open water.
I have visited every single Disney theme park in the world, and will probably be visiting Shanghai in the early months. This is something that I spend a lot of time thinking about and wandering about, and I can tell you that most people who have visited any kind of theme park and also visited Tokyo Disneyia will tell you without hesitation This is the best park in the world.
I wouldn't make a direct comparison to any American park, but what I'd say is that Disney made California Adventure (a failure at the opening) for $ 800MM, realized the mess they were in, and the 10-year-old at the park. Disney included in life all of the improvements made for DCA, including items currently under construction that won't open until 2012, with Disney spending about $ 2.5B on DCA Or. In that perspective: the initial construction budget of Tokyo Disneyasa was $ 3.2 + B before the creation of Terror, Phantasmic! Or any further improvement since the park opened.
Why? Because the Tokyo resort is not technically owned or operated by Disney, and looking at how it is the most successful of the resorts in terms of appearance, you can see that the Oriental Land Company (the giant Asian real estate developers who own the resort And work with a) a revenue sharing agreement with Disney) to throw a heap of money on their own projects and budget Breathing.
One type of colloquial way that Disney theme park nerds talk about this difference in budget (which usually relates to the quality of the attraction) is that when Disney builds and pays for something in its own park If not, Imagineering will request a budget of, say, $ 120MM. In the days of Eisner, that budget was slashed three times until they were establishing half of what they wanted (which is not yet under Lasseter and the current management that would be used as American attractions in Tokyo. Trying to make good). The colloquial joke is that if imagers asked for a budget of $ 120MM, OLC would give them $ 140MM and ask them to improve it. This is not a factual story, but it tells you how fans think about the difference.
The point is that the best Disney management to oversee parks since the vault, arguably, is using Tokyo Resorts as the standard for the rest of the resorts.
The level of detail on Tokyo Disneyasa is absolutely out of control. The most favorite example of this is found in his Tower of Terror. But it needs a little explaining:
The general concept for TDS is that all different lands are separate oceans and coasts of past, present, future, imagination and history. As a result, you have the following themed lands: Mediterranean Harbor (essentially Venice / Italian themed), American Waterfront (a New York area and a Cape Cod region), Arabian Coast, Lost River Delta (Amazon / South American theme). Mermaid Lagoon (completely indoor Little Mermaid themed area), and Mysterious Island (including Jules Verne themed Caldera and Fortress in Explorer's Landing). We will return to Caldera later, this is probably my favorite area in any theme park in the world.
Note: All of the photos below are my own except for three (noted), but are posted on Westcoaster.net, and I will link to updates that show more of the park at the end of the post.
Fortress in Explorer's Landing from one of the top outer levels. The coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.
The interior of the caldera at night, looking 20,000 leagues under the sea, goes further from drilling drilling markings to the center of the earth, under a volcano that erupts randomly throughout the day and into the night. Time bursts. Display.
Anyway, Lost River Delta is located in a South American rainforest forest, essentially, and has two major attractions: Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull (much better themed at Indiana Jones at Disneyland and with a different plotline And a roller coaster called Raging Spirits.
Strong Spirits at Night.
You can't see in this picture (and I'll upload a photo if I find one at the house of the item I'm going to describe) with a head of big, stone snakes that sit in front of the big temple ' are seeing. There are two around the entrance, and some also within the ride structure. One of the most prominent places where a snake must have its head is not there. It has been broken. But it is also not sitting on the ground. remember this.
Now, the other information you need to know here is that Tokyo was built in the American waterfront section of the Tower of Terror Park in Disneyia, specifically part of New York, and because of it and the location in Japan, some problems with it Came out You will note that this version of the Tower of Terror is not called the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (such as versions in CA, FL and France). This is just a tower of terror. This is due to some reasons.
The Japanese don't really know what the twilight zone is, so it wouldn't really be a good tie for them to see what's happening in context. There is no cultural context for them.
American waterfront land is themed for 1920s New York and Cape Cod. There were no televisions at the time, and if you remember properly, the entire set up and reference of any Twilight Zone show and the ride in particular was accompanied by a TV.
All other Tower of Terror is likely to be in Hollywood, as the Tower of Terror was the Hollywood Tower Hotel. The ride was to be made in a New York themed land.
So, what to do then? Well, they wanted to build the ride, so the imagers came up with a completely different backstory around a fictional character named Harrison Hightower, who was the boss, and also famous adventurer, who was in New York City's Central He owned the Hightower Hotel in the park. I won't go into detail about the storyline and differences of the ride, you have to ride it and find it out, but it's basically that Mr. Hightower recently came to know God from an exploratory expedition and where- Where did it come from The name of this mysterious doll back is Shiriki Uttundu. Long story short, Shiriki Uttund is a damned little bastard and ruins your lift ride, that's for sure.
However, to establish this entire plot line, the line passes through the hotel lobby and garden, just as it does in the Twilight area versions. In Tokyo, however, the gardens and lobbies are filled with artifacts and statues and things that Hoverver has 'acquired' in every corner of the world in his various expeditions. From the nature of the portraits and the items we see, it is perfectly clear that Mr. Hover has a very high view of himself and not much respect for the temples and graves that he raids for the trophy to display back home. Are killing We learn that out of newspaper clippings:

(Not my photo)
One image, in fact, depicts Mr. Hoiver in front of the temple depicted above the ragging spirits.
Another picture, however, hangs here:
This is by far the best description at any Disney theme park, and the ones that come close are also at Tokyo DisneySa. Anyway: Look at the picture carefully. In the portrait, the hightower stands in front of the very altar, the portrait we are looking at hangs. Mr. Hightower took the altar back to New York to place the chimney in the lobby of his famous Hightower Hotel. Not a good enough character extension? Look again In the picture, the altar contains a statue of a deity or something that is in the exact same spot where the picture now hangs in the lobby. The hightower cut the statue of the deity on the feet (note the remaining legs and ankles) so that he could hang a portrait of himself in front of that very altar instead. Great effort.
Anyway, after the library where we get our pre-show (which, because there is no TV in this era, is displayed through a magical stained glass window that tells us the story), like all of us Other towers do not enter the boiler room. Instead, we enter Hightower's artistic room, which is filled with heaps of important cultural nonsense, which Hightower has printed from around the world.
In the middle of this room, there is a snake's head missing from the Raging Spirits, hanging from the ceiling by a rope, because as we saw earlier in a picture, the hightower went there. This is the level of detail we are dealing with here, people; In a subject park ... and Shiriki Uttundu's eyes glow inside the snakes' mouths.
That level of detail is all over the park. Look at how the lava and rock on the side of the fort has flowed:

Now, even better, remember that the drilling machine is stuck on the side of the volcano in Caldera? Well, this is the machine Captain Nemo used to build all the internal tunnels in the caldera (and also carved the tunnels naturally to travel to the center of the journey). When you are going through those tunnels, you can see that the drill pattern is carved into the rocks.

Seriously. Also pay attention to detail in the rock strips, rock layer, silt layer, slag layer, silt, rock etc. Funny funny
This happens when you give more money to imagers of your own accord and tell them that they will do a better job than you think.
If you too have bothered to read this entire post, you owe it to yourself that Quora is more appropriate than the park to post inside the update. You should see my photo update from the park on Westcoaster, along with the other two updates that are adornments of my photos and those of Dan Angona and Ian Clarke.
If you absolutely love theme parks, you owe yourself to a visit to Tokyo DisneySea. It is the world's best theme park at almost every level, but especially on detail, design, creativity, ingenuity and awe-factor. Also they have a lava monster:
So if you have any query:
Answer::Tokyo Disneyland is 11 km
