Tokyo Disney Resort® announced that Captain EO, the Tokyo Disneyland® attraction initially opened for a limited period only, will now become a regular attraction.
Captain EO, which opened on July 1, 2010, was originally scheduled to be offered for a period of one year. However, this attraction – which is widely acclaimed for its sophisticated performance, high level of visual technology, and fantastic special effects, in addition to the popularity of Michael Jackson – has continued to attract guests of all ages. And now, it has been made into a regular attraction to enable even more guests to continue enjoying Captain EO.
With this change, the previous attraction at this location, MicroAdventure! will be closed permanently.
