Disney parks all around the world are seeing some pretty intense construction, though we often talk most about what’s coming to Disney World, since that’s where we visit most often. However, Tokyo Disneyland has a new ride on the way that we’ve been looking forward to for what feels like YEARS now!

Back in August, Disney revealed the name for the new Wreck-It Ralph themed ride coming to Tokyo Disneyland, and now, we’ve got an opening date just a few months later! Get your credit cards ready, because you may be tempted to take an international flight in the next year.

Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue will open up at Tokyo Disneyland on April 15th, 2027! That’s less than half a year away, which may sound like a long time right now, but with how fast the months fly, we know it’ll be here before we know it. That’s plenty of time to book a trip…right?

That’s far from the only news Disney released, though, because now we know more about the storyline of the ride, as well as how exactly it’ll work. Trouble is brewing inside this candy-themed race, because King Candy is planning to take over the world of video games. He’s transformed the candies throughout Sugar Rush, such as gummy candies, lollipops, bubble gum, and ice cream, into Sugar Bugs programmed to consume the entire kingdom. On the ride, you’ll team up with Ralph, Vanellope, and their friends to restore the Sugar Bugs to their original “kawaii” forms (the Japanese word for cute) before they can destroy Sugar Rush for good.

But how exactly is the game going to work? Well, since this ride is taking the place of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, it’s a shooter-style attraction. Riders will use the scanners installed in the ride vehicles to defend Sugar Rush from King Candy. You’ll get points based on how many Sugar Bugs are restored, meaning it’s totally interactive. You’ll be able to see your score on the screens once the ride is over, and for a limited time after riding, you’ll be able to see your score on the Tokyo Disney Resort App, as well as the photos captured during the ride.

There will also be a gift shop next to the ride (where we WILL totally be spending more money than we should, thank you very much), where you’ll find new merchandise and food inspired by the attraction. It’ll be called Pixel Prism, and it’ll be opening the same day, April 15th, 2027. The store is inspired by a digital marketplace and will feature fiber optic-inspired design elements, pixel-patterned flooring, game-inspired motifs, and a large, illuminated pixel structure at its entrance. For those who love photos to remember their trips by, attraction-inspired decorations and photo opportunities will arrive in Tomorrowland on February 18th, followed by Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue-inspired projections at Cinderella Castle beginning March 18th.

There are also a few dining options hitting the parks ahead of the attraction’s opening! Nearby, Popping Station will open on March 17th, 2027, which will be a new popcorn stand overlooking Tomorrowland Plaza, serving up different kinds of popcorn, including the new Sugar-Lime Popcorn, a sweet-and-tart flavor inspired by the Sugar Bugs in Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue. And that’s not all! Yes, there’s more; we’re not kidding. If you can’t wait for the attraction to open, or you won’t be able to make it in person, beginning January 12th, 2027, you can train to help save Sugar Rush through a new smartphone mini-game that can be played at home (though a special version will be available in select areas of Tokyo Disneyland that will incorporate park scenery into the experience).

We’ve gotta admit that we’re super excited about this ride, but when the news about it was first announced back in October 2025, fans had some mixed feelings. We posted about the ride on our Instagram, and while some users were excited, like @sonicfan4yt, who said, “You know this looks pretty good, I mean sure they’re replacing a really good ride but this ride looks very good tbh hope it comes to US Disneyland in the future,” others weren’t as excited. User @pffulton74 said, “I don’t see the point in a slow omnimover Sugar Rush ride. I have to assume they’re just re-dressing the Buzz vehicles and ride path.” Others shared the same sentiment, bummed that the ride is an omnimover instead of a coaster, seeing as the Sugar Rush race is just that — a race.
