Tokyo Disneyland is about to overhaul one of their most iconic attractions for Space Mountain. The Oriental Land Company is investing a reimagined plaza area of Tomorrowland. It is expected to open in 2027 and cost approximately 56 billion yen. Normally, that would be over $500 million USD; with the current strength of the dollar and in comparison of the yen, it’s around $437 million. 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.
At the D23 Expo 2022 as Disney Parks Chairman, Josh D’Amaro has confirmed the work will begin in 2024, that will bring a new story and experience to the iconic attraction. It’s uncertain if either the current Space Mountain will be demolished and rebuilt. This Tomorrowland reimagined project will follow an ambitious $3 billion expansion of Tokyo Disney Resort that has continued to plow forward in the last two years without any impressive delay or budget cuts.
Here’s a comparison of the day time and new nighttime concept art:
