Fantasy Springs is FINALLY here, and so are its NEW RIDES. We’ve been lucky enough to get a preview of the new land, so we’re taking you INSIDE!
Rapunzel’s Forest, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs
Tokyo DisneySea’s highly anticipated new land, Fantasy Springs, is opening on June 6th; but we’re getting the chance to ride the land’s three BRAND NEW RIDES, including one based on a beloved Disney film that’s NEVER had a ride before. Welcome to Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival!
Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs
This is pretty much everything I dreamed it would be! And while we’re not riding until a little later this week, Disney released a bunch of photos that we couldn’t help sharing!
The newest attraction is based on Tangled, Disney’s 2010 telling of the story of Rapunzel; and Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival is based on one of the film’s most iconic sequences. Let’s head inside!

In Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival, we’ll climb into a gondola that seats about 16 guests (whom we get to share our romantic adventure with LOL)! We’ll find Rapunzel in her tower at first, singing “When Will My Life Begin.”

But who’s that? Flynn Rider?! Of course it is! And his trusty steed Maximus!

Oh, and of course you’ll be able to spy Pascal throughout the ride. What else is a sidekick for?

Soon, Rapunzel escapes, and we get to follow along the seriously beautiful and epic and energetic scenes (can you tell how much I love this ride already?!) to watch while she falls in love!

Seriously, the lighting is perfect, isn’t it?! Tokyo DisneySea just can’t miss!
But wait. It’s about to get SO MUCH BETTER.

Are you crying? I’m crying. This scene of Punzie and Flynn amidst zillions of floating lanterns is simply everything any Tangled fan has ever dreamed of.

Kinda makes you believe in love a little bit more, doesn’t it? This is where they sing “I See The Light,” of course!
OK, so there are just a few of the pics Disney released. But stay tuned ’cause we’re actually going to be riding this very soon and taking you along with us! Are you following us on social media? Now’s the time! (Please and thank you very much please and thank you.)

I really hope they bring this to Disney World. Tangled is the best modern Disney film!
Looks like they combined The Little Mermaid Ride concept with the Tangled IP, nice combination. For a moment, I thought what a Tangled retheme of Splash Mountain would have been like…Have Tiana’s in Disneyland and Punzie’s version in WDW, but that probably would have taken to long (R&D time for two vastly different sets of audio-autos).
I would love to see this in Walt Disney World! Tangled is such a great movie!
