Tokyo Disneyland has finally revealed the names of their two upcoming new attractions, part of a bold reimagining of Tomorrowland and sizable investment of ¥100 billion. The entire refurbished and expanded area will open Spring 2027.
The attraction themed to Walt Disney Animation Studios Film Wreck-It Ralph, set to open in spring of 2027, will be called Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue. The name of the new Space Mountain attraction is Space Mountain Earthrise, and the surrounding area will be called Tomorrowland Plaza.
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue will transport guests into a vibrant game world where Ralph, Vanellope and others need everyone’s help to defeat King Candy. The attraction introduces new technology to Tokyo Disney Resort for an interactive storytelling experience that is the reportedly a first of its kind for a Disney theme park.
Space Mountain Earthrise, the signature attraction of Tomorrowland, will retain the previous version’s concept as an indoor coaster but will be completely transformed. A beloved attraction since Tokyo Disneyland first opened, Space Mountain will return with various enhancements, a new story and rich and dynamic show elements to take guests on an even more thrilling and captivating journey through outer space, delivering an unprecedented experience. Lastly, located at the heart of Tomorrowland is Tomorrowland Plaza. This area — a symbolic portrayal of mankind and nature existing in harmony — connects the Tomorrowland of the past and future.
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue is an indoor attraction inspired by Wreck-It Ralph, a Disney Animation film that takes place in a video game world, and offers an interactive gaming experience that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. This will be the world’s first attraction themed to Wreck-It Ralph.
In the attraction, guests will enter the candy-themed racing game “Sugar Rush,” and team up with film characters Ralph and Vanellope to save this candy-filled world from being destroyed by Sugar Bugs — glitches created by King Candy. Guests can expect an immersive, fun experience as they dive into a colorful world of video games to restore the Sugar Bugs back to their original “kawaii” forms of gummy candies, cupcakes and other confectionery.
Located next to Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue, the Pixel Prism shop replaces the former Planet M and will offer a variety of merchandise, including items inspired by the attraction.
There will also be a new popcorn stand called Popping Station located near Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue facing Tomorrowland Plaza. This replaces The Popping Pod which closed on November 1, 2024.
Space Mountain Earthrise is an all-new indoor roller coaster attraction that takes guests on an unforgettable journey through outer space, featuring brand new architecture and a newly developed ride system that combines imaginative storytelling and immersive theatrical effects inspired by the wonders of space. The attraction begins with a powerful launch from Earth, hurtling guests aboard their ride vehicles deep into space.
From there, guests can enjoy a dynamic and immersive experience through the cosmos unlike ever before, with special light and sound effects inspired by various space phenomena.
Additionally, in a first for roller coasters at Tokyo Disney Resort, the ride vehicles will come equipped with an onboard audio system. The attraction’s exterior incorporates curved features designed after the movements of celestial bodies and forms found in nature, such as trees and flowers — an expression of the connection between space and nature.
The “Earthrise” in Space Mountain Earthrise refers to the sight of Earth from space as it rises from beyond the Moon’s surface, just as the Sun rises from the horizon. The name captures the beauty and preciousness of Earth as an unparalleled existence within the universe and is a concept unique to Japan among Space Mountain attractions at Disney theme parks worldwide.
Through an exciting and captivating cosmic voyage, guests will explore the mysteries of the vast universe, and as they do, rediscover the beauty of our planet and be instilled with hope for tomorrow.
Tomorrowland Plaza embodies the idea of mankind and nature living in harmony. The area will be decorated by structures inspired by the elements that make up nature such as fire, water, earth and wood, and by the light from celestial objects such as the Sun and Moon. For guests resting at Tomorrowland Plaza, these many monuments will serve as reminders of the interconnectedness of humanity, nature and space. When night falls, the area will transform with lights and sounds to deliver a world filled with hope, dreams and surprise. Guests can let their endless dreams for the future soar at Tomorrowland Plaza.
Tokyo Disneyland also promised that guests can visit Element Express at Tomorrowland Plaza for snacks and drinks that are perfect for relaxing.
