This month, a trademark application was submitted for “Space Mountain Earthrise.” Its scope includes entertainment, goods and services provision, artistic, sporting, or educational instruction, movie planning and operation, and more. Though the name offers little insight, it’s the latest detail revealed about the forthcoming attraction since its announcement by the Oriental Land Company in 2022. Alongside the revamped attraction, Tokyo Disneyland will also introduce a new Tomorrowland plaza.
“Space Mountain, an exhilarating, indoor roller coaster that takes guests on a high-speed joy ride through space, has been a favorite of guests since the Grand Opening of Tokyo Disneyland in 1983. This entirely new attraction will maintain its original concept as an indoor roller coaster, but will have enhanced performance and immersive special effects that will give guests even more thrills on this exciting rocket ride.
The new Tomorrowland plaza will express the connection between Earth and the universe, representing an image of a future where humans are in harmony with nature. Guests will be able to enjoy moments of rest and relaxation in this plaza where various icons and other design elements create a sense of hope for the future. After dark, the area will draw guests into a spectacular world of light and soundscapes.”
Disney and the Oriental Land Company (OLC) unveiled three concept artworks showcasing the ride and plaza in daytime, twilight, and nighttime settings.
Around ¥56 billion ($437 million) will be allocated for the construction of the new ride. Crews initiated site clearing in late 2022, followed by a groundbreaking ceremony in May 2023.
“Celebrating Space Mountain: The Final Ignition” festivities, commemorating the existing iteration of the attraction, commence on April 9 and extend until July 31, coinciding with the closure of the current Space Mountain. The event features exclusive merchandise offerings.
