![[On Ride-POV] Journey to the Center of the Earth - Tokyo DisneySEA](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AMV1CpWoczg/mqdefault.jpg)
Let's be honest. The scariest part of the ride isn't the speed or the animatronic. It's the LIGHTNING STRIKE OUTTA NOWHERE.
Gets me everytime
@@juhnoh0919 SAME.
even you know it’s coming you’ll still got scared
Probably it’s the most scariest part of all Disney’s
Agree I kinda wish they put an elasmosaurus animatronic in that scene like in the book the same one as the sister attraction from Epcot
This has been the scariest ride i have been on EVER.
I've ridden this and it has an insane airtime.
I remember first riding this as a teen, and then going back to Orlando and feeling conflicted because DisneySea had become my favourite theme park, edging out Epcot. LOL I also wouldn't shut up about the amazing lava monster animatronic. My wife and I recently moved to Maihama and are planning to buy yearly passports for the Tokyo Disneyland resort, once they offer them again. We can actually see Journey To The Center of The Earth and The Tower of Terror from our bedroom balcony. :)
Wishing i could go to disney sea someday ;____;
Definitely one of the greatest Disney attractions ever designed and built, and certainly my fave. An amazing experience, and the queue detail is phenomenal. I’m hoping that Soaring gives it a slightly better wait time these days, as it was alway so popular!
Can't wait to go on it in April!
ive only ridden this ride once and its easily my favorite attraction for numerous reasons like the music or the show scenes but one of my favorite factors abt this attraction is how the vehicle is used as part of the lands showcase, seeing the ride vehicles zip through the caverns and actually seeing people riding the ride just makes it feel a little more real,
entirely inclosed attractions can be great but i think that trick has become overdone (example: pandora and star wars) the atmosphere is just different when the attraction is part of the land rather than entirely separated inside a show building i cant wait till we can travel again bc im going straight back to disneysea once we can
dude I feel bad for you, I went on it like 3 times in one day and probably could've gone more but my friends wanted to go on raging spirits.
I liked that you can see the ride vehicles, but I suspect a lot of potential riders get scared away by seeing them plunge into a drop of unknown size (which is actually fairly mild).
Still my favorite ride even after Rise of the Resistance. It may be short, but the amount of detail and world building it crams into those 3 minutes is unmatched in my opinion. I don't know how they will ever top it, just considering the show building alone! Plus that launched helix and drop are surprisingly forceful! Thank you for making this video, it brought back so many great memories!
The only attraction that, at the very least for the first time I rode it, was arguably just as much fun to wait to ride as it’s actual coaster experience due to the incredibly rich details in the line up area
Journey from the front row is the Best Disney ride experience evah!
I have been on the attraction and I consider it to be the third greatest attraction ever conceived behind Shanghai pirates of the Caribbean and Hollywood studios rise of the resistance.
This is a really good attraction. I absolutely love it
Yes, I really, REALLY like to visit Disney Sea!!!
I live in Tokyo and visit Disney Sea once or twice a year. I always make sure to ride this attraction and it remains one of my favorites! Specially the view coming out of the volcano at night is incredible.
They also did an incredible job adding a backstory to Soarin' 👏👏👏
yes yes yes. more TDS videos please!
When I went to Japan for 2 weeks earlier this year I afforded myself just one day to do DisneySea. Not only did I manage to ride everything worthwhile, but had time to ride my favourites again. Tower or Terror, Indiana Jones, 20,000 Leagues & Sinbad. But this one… I made sure I rode Journey to the Centre 3 times.
The elevator actually takes you to the third level of the show building. You enter the queue and elevators on the second floor while the first floor (below) is all ride show and vehicle maintenance bay. The layout is probably the most well thought out and interesting of any Disney ride.
I rode this ride when I visited Tokyo Disneysea way back 2016. It is one of the best rides I have experienced and the theming and concept is the best. The feeling of you being burst out of a volcano is an awesome feeling.
Although it feels like you're going down, the Terravator actually takes you up to the boarding area. :-)
This looks like an awesome park and awesome attraction.
Disney needs to learn a thing or two from Disney Sea.
i really really really appreciate this video
One of my all time favourite ride experiences. It really is something
I was lucky enough to visit. Japan and Tokyo Disney sea is last week, and I must say, journey to the Centre of the Earth is one of the best thrilling dark rides or just dark rides in general, I have ever ridden😁
Congrats on 40,000 subscribers! 🥳
Great show as usual!
I've ridden it! I was suuuuper lucky and came upon the entrance of the queue JUST as they were reopening after a break and I only had to wait like...15 minutes top? I hadn't looked at any video of it so the giant animatronic blew my mind and then the sudden acceleration took me by surprise and I was howling with the other passengers! It was a lot of fun!
Mysterious Island''s other attraction is also wonderful! 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea really sells the illusion that you're underwater and it's queue is often short enough (on low attendance days anyway, like that tuesday in early December I was there) that they don't activate the Fast Pass stations for it. When I was there the wait time was 5 minutes and below. I think I went three times? (Also, Indian Jones has a Singer Rider queue and I went on that multiple times too).
I'm hoping to go back as soon as travellers are allowed into the country. I'm looking at February 2022 as a good time to go.
This was the first ride I rode when I visited DisneySea back in 2018. I was there in February and it was snowing, as the car sped up and burst out the top of the mountain, I got a face full of snow, before diving back inside again.
Due to crowds, I wasn't able to ride more than once. I managed to time things just right and get on pretty much everything I wanted to through a mix of fast pass and queuing, but I don't know if I would have gone on Journey if I hadn't been able to get into the queue as soon as the park opened. The queue for the rest of the day was ridiculous.
The ride is great though!
If Disneyland has rides like this I’d go back
This is amazing I never even heard of this ride until this video thanks for telling me I wish Disney in Florida had this
RandomBlake I agree with you i wish they had this in Disney world in Orlando Florida because I would definitely ride this especially the terravator (the elevator) part
Notice one of the vehicles being sunk in lava at 8:46. That suggests other travellers were attacked by the monster.
I wish Walt Disney was able to live long enough to see Disney sea
i was in disneyland Paris around 2000... and space mountain was pretty similar, Jules Verne all around. i loved it. now it's just... basically the same like in the other parks. such a shame. it was an amazing concept.
My wife used to work at Disney Sea. I've been lucky enough to ride it 3 times. I believe it lives up to the hype. We're living only an hour away from the park. Will definitely visit again when the pandemic passes.
Kudos to you!
Journey is a must ride at Tokyo Disney Sea!
I love this ride!!!
Until this day amuse me the experience that the park offers to you , the atencion to the detail, when you wait in line everything has a propuse , the music , the unique stories , and the twist to hear the caracters and the musical themes in japenesse, also the short time in line, (with the fast pass that are aviable in every ride ) . I went in 2019 in a bussy week (golden week) and I was able to enjoy all the rides , also the price for the tickets and food is cheaper than disney in USA , im from mexico, and if i go to Disney in USA 7 days I will spend more than if I go for 8 days to disney Japan for 2 days (1 day for each park ) and the rest of the days have the oportinity to visit Tokyo,Kyoto and Osaka. You will never regret go to Disney in Tokyo.
Sorry for my English, is not my first language.
I hope they make a movie adaptation based on this ride. I would pay money to see that.
Not on the ride, but theres a movie based off the book (which the ride is based off)! Its in the same name but dont know if its good
Hope I can go to both parks in Japan. Thanks for the video. ✌🏾👍🏾💯
They are so worth it! Universal studios Osaka also.
The whole area and ride was amazing! Cannot wait to go back!
Makes you wonder which Verne works they could make into a modern ride today
They already did a lot. Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in Tokyo , From the Earth to the Moon in Paris. You could make an simulator ride out of „Around the World in Eighty Days“
Bucket list for sure
You blokes go hard with your content well sone
Great video
Definitely the best Theme Park ride ever built in the world, hands down.
No
@@lauracoles5595 Yes :)
@@lauracoles5595 No there isn't. Like what?
Getting a fastpass for this (or even a ride) as soon as you arrive at the park should be pretty easy. Being an opening day attraction, most of the visitors will go directly to the newer Soaring or Toy Story Mania.
That's what we did - just walked over and got a fast pass for within the next hour.
I went yesterday while standby passes for soaring is a thing. Def go during the first hour of opening (and maybe get a standby for soaring) and itll be a 5-20 min wait.
I wish this was at Disney world in Florida this looks so cool especially the Terravator (the elevator)
I rode the ride before but I was confused as I don't speak Japanese. Thank you so much for this video!
I would love to go to Tokyo DisneySea someday.
This ride is so dope.
i've ridden this ride a few times and... hooo boy do i love it. disneysea is my favourite and curse covid for keeping me from it.
We need this in Florida.
Wonderful video as always! No podcast this week?
Podcast is a little late. Dom is currently moving house and it’s been a bit crazy this week. It’ll be out in the next 24 hours :)
@@ReviewTyme All good! I love the show and it’s become a part of my weekly routine! Thought I would check in to make sure all was well!
Just seeing the ride vehicle zoom through from the exterior of the volcano makes you want to ride it. Such a cool experience. Having a volcano as your icon is epic
I went to Tokyo in 2019 and Journey to the Center of the Earth was closed for refurbishment, never got to ride it. I guess I need to go back 😂.
did you cover other rides at Tokyo - with regards to theming? I'm hoping to play tourguide with my parents within the next year or two, and having me know this info onhand will help them enjoy it for their first time (none of us speak japanese).
Tbh I would dig it if they ever get a discovery bay with a from the earth to the moon ride.
I didn't knew that Captain Nemo went to the center of the earth!
Well, in Disney's theme-park continuity he did! He doesn't figure in Jules Verne's novel at all (this ride really has little to do with it).
I said it once, and I'll say it again; the foreign parks get all the best stuff!!
mickey and minnie's runaway railway, Tower of terror, rise of the resistance, slinky dog dash, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run, Avatar Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest,.
Stop Complaining.
@@patrickmuhlbeyer9262 Those attractions are all just fine. I simply meant that that I think the parks like DisneySea are on an entirely different conceptual level.
I haven't been fortunate enough to visit the Tokyo Disney parks, but this attraction is definitely up on my list. Perhaps I'm wrong about this because I've only seen the attraction through video, but I feel the EMV used in Indiana Jones and Dinosaur might have made this an even better attraction. It seems that this feels a little too smooth, but again I don't have the full experience, so I'm unsure if that would really work.
Still want the Sindbad review
Thanks, you just saved me from going through the whole archives!! Sindbad is my favorite ride at TDS. I spent my birthday there 2 days ago and boy wasn’t that a wonderful treat!
@@Frenchmisto Chandu!
I don't speak Japanese, but this park looks beautiful !
最高のアトラクション
Wow I counted 2 whole animatronics.
Sad I will never be able to go here most likley.
Would’ve been nice if they put an elasmosaurus animatronic like in the sister attraction of Epcot universe or energy
can you guys please do a review of Luna park Melbourne
The line was unfortunately way too long, so we we couldn’t make it on this ride. My all-time favorite is definitely Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. Loved the Indiana Jones one at DisneySea as well.
6:17 Is Indy a slot car ride? OMG. Indy's a slot car ride. I was too distracted by the motion simulator to pay attention to the base.
Also, I didn't know that this ride system is called "slot car." Is that Disney's official name?
It’s ‘slot car style’ because the car is given its electricity through a pole in the middle bottom of the car. There is a slit through the middle of the track where the pole goes through. Like a slot car. This technology is used on many Disney rides now, dinosaur, radiator springs racers, test track, etc
@@Jordantmori Yes, that's what i said.
@@Jordantmori I think he's making a point that Indy isn't the same type of ride - Radiator Springs Racers is.
fun fact: Tokyo Disney Sea opened on the day that I was born!!
You are good, excellent vlog. But, Shanghai Pirates might have a bigger WOW factor , as a one off attraction.
I've ridden it a few times, it's definitely a top 5 dark ride. If it was slightly longer it would be #1 in the world. Just incredible scope to create this. The whole experience is awesome. And at night it's a dream land, just so stunning, like the rest of the park
Wow 4th of September 2001
Week before the 9/11 Terrorist attack 😢😢😢😢
Well, I might be able to afford a trip there, better than the Galactic Starcruiser.
I am shocked that Tony Baxter had nothing to do with Mysterious Island. He loves/loved Jules Verne
A good thing about the ride is that you don’t need to speak Japanese in order to understand it as it contains very little dialogue
I thought the main character of Journey to the Center of the Earth was Professor Lidenbrock. How did Captain Nemo get involved?
Captain Nemo made the cars of the ride
Quite simply, the ride isn't meant to be a straight retelling of the book. It retains the basic gist of the "weird and mysterious world under a volcano" story, but had to be adapted to fit in with the rest of Mysterious Island (the land in which the ride is located). Because of this, Disney took a lot of creative liberties to essentially write their own versions of Mysterious Island, 20K Leagues, and Journey into one big interconnected story.
It about 2-3 minutes too short.
Its the best themed park, but not the best theme park.
What's sad is that Disney could have made a park like this out of WESTCOT for Disneyland Park Resort had they not made the mistake of trying to open Disneyland Paris in an economy that simple didn't have the demand for a Disney experience.
Its crazy to think that when Tokyo got this, Disneyland got CA adventure. Its a good park now but opening day it was pretty disappointing.
You really like this park. I would love to visit but personally just from looking Disneyland paris is the better designed park.
@@eriku3414 sorry but whilst this park is very well themed, it will always take the back seat to an Disneyland park. From the hidden back passages to the quiet resting places, Disneyland paris is the most beautiful of all.
@@eriku3414 oh you are totally lieing and in denial. Even the imagines designed it as the most beautiful. Stop lieing you outrageous individual
Ok this ride is indeed awesome, BUT there’s one major flaw… it isn’t the most accurate to the book Journey To The Center Of The Earth.
Every time you say Captain Nemo I go HE WASN’T IN THE BOOK! (It’s a minor pain)
It isn’t just caves underneath but there’s a new horizon in the original book that looks very similar to the open world we live in. The core acts like the sun and gives light to this internal environment.
However again there is only so much you can do in adapting the book to ride.
I’ll say this the bottomless pit is accurate to my knowledge and a huge part of the book was trying not to fall down the bottomless pit.
There’s many more flaws that can be brought over but there’s a few things they have accurate too. The final eruption has a lot of similarities to how it happened in the original book. (One difference of that is the vehicle you are on while launching out. You are in a machine while the book had a raft but I can take an inaccuracy like that.)
Still it is cool to compare book to ride which adaptations like that don’t come often.
Disney generally doesn't like to do what they call "book reports", or straight retellings of the source material. They'll use the source material as guidance, but they'll adapt and alter the story to make it their own version while still feeling consistent with the original source(s).
The biggest considerations here were that they had to condense a book that takes about 8+ hours to read into a 4 minute thrill ride, and incorporate the ride into a land that is based on other Verne stories that don't overlap. The solution was to chop bits and pieces of those stories together into one overarching story for the land (Nemo's base of operations), with the rides detailing his explorations of the island and sea. The ride is an adaptation in the spirit of the original book, but altered for those time and story considerations.
@@A_A610 Fair point but it would be nice if there was more accuracies to the book.
This is ok
I love the animatronic but I honestly think the ride and park is overrated, there is much better out there. The title”best theme park in the world” is laughable
Never been there so no way I can agree if it’s the best or not, but from pics and videos it’s certainly the nicest looking I’ve ever seen
In terms of theming and overall experience, I do consider DisneySea the best park on the planet.
This attraction is definatly going onto my Bucket List. As a Canadian, I grew up dreaming of going to the Disney desinations in the USA. As a sixty year old who figures he knows the truth about how the world is really run, I refuse to enter the US. I would have no problems going to Japan. Now I just need the money ha ha. Oh Canada
The one thing that disappointed me a little (aside from it being a bit short) is that the fact that the ride visibly has a roller-coaster-like drop dissuaded my wife and daughter from riding it, so I had to go alone.
(The drop is not that big; I suspect it's around the same size as the Splash Mountain/Tiana's drop and maybe not even as steep. But it is a drop.)
I loved the lava monster and the elaborate steampunk theming of the queue. The part right after the lava monster in which you're blasted up the helical ramp has some strong lateral forces. It's arguably the most intense of the rides using the Disney slot-car system.
