New Attraction at Tokyo DisneySea, Jasmine's Flying
Oriental Land Co., Ltd. announced that Jasmine’s Flying Carpets, a brand new attraction, will open on July 18, 2011 at Tokyo DisneySea® Park as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Themed to the Disney film Aladdin, Jasmine’s Flying Carpets is a ride attraction where guests can soar over Jasmine’s garden on a “flying carpet.” Guests will be able to maneuver their vehicle up and down to a height of five meters, and tilt the vehicle forward and backward, as if flying their own magical carpet.
This attraction can be enjoyed by families riding together, as even young children can board this ride. From an elevated viewing deck, guests can easily watch their friends and family riding on their flying carpets.
Attraction Overview
Location: Arabian Coast
Ride Length: 1 minute 30 seconds
Capacity per Vehicle: 4 persons (2 persons in 2 rows)
Number of Vehicles: 16
Total capital invested: Approximately 2 billion yen
With the addition of this new attraction, there will be a total of 33 attraction facilities at Tokyo DisneySea Park (27 attractions, 3 character greeting facilities, and 3 entertainment facilities).
Jasmine’s Flying Carpets will be sponsored by NTT Communications Corporation.
