***** In my opinion, I feel that neon colours make everything look artificial. I enjoy attention to detail in dark rides. That's just my opinion though.
I remembered this being a cool ride, but we did so much on that trip that it fell through the memory cracks. I found only a single photo of the exterior. Thank you for posting this.
NoOoOo it's a small world is to discover all the countries and peter pan is based on the film peter pan and this ride have anything like small world and peter pan
How many audio recordings did they have playing at the same time? Maybe it doesn't sound this way in person, but through the video it sounded like a hundred radios all on and tuned to different stations. The ride was beautiful but the sound... ugh!!!
It looks like a lot of fun, my only annoyance is when when occasionally clearly see the wall with the pipes and exit signs, I mean, texture the wall to a cave or mountain or something. Still a cool looking ride though.
Most of this ride was downright bizarre. However, the last room with all the lights was kind of cool. It reminded me a bit of the old Luna Park in Coney Island, New York.
As a career imagineer, all I can say is this: Rainbow Bandits is a perfect example of what happens when someone tries to "do Disney" without being careful to observe the lessons of subtlety Walt's legacy clearly teaches. This ride system is quite nice, but the content and execution of the ride itself is lackluster and pedestrian. It does get worse than this - do a search on RUclips for the new Dubai theme park dark rides, which throw many millions of dollars per example at conceptual vacuums. Those who criticize Disney should be aware that examples like this only serve to show the strength of the years of preparation and analysis the company throws at a project result in a kind of 'show magic' that is totally lacking in this attraction and the fiascos of the Dubai theme park.
it’s quite impressive because this park is located in the country side, it’s not even in the mainland of Japan. So most Japanese don’t even know this place exists...
A Japanese riff out of an Oz book, using familiar characters with some new and appealing anime-style designs. Lots of color and detail and a big pile of music, dialogue and sound FX. For the most part it's clever and fun in design but suffers from 'Small World' Envy. Still, this is far and away a huge jump in quality and interest from the earliest dark rides at Disneyland, such as 'Snow White'.
Well, the plot was very well laid out during the ride, however some things in there were very tricky and hard to pick up on. So the story begins in a kingdom that is a bunch of swirly colors and the animals there are all bi-pedal. all of a sudden a little blue person with a swirly face comes up and the colors of the kingdom disappear. A few if the tricky things are that the gondolas are high suspended hot air balloons. These hot air balloons tie every thing to gather to show that the people who made this were really high. JK XD @_@
Joshua Baruch THIS system is plain-simple, chained straightforward. The Efteling Droomvlucht system is quite complicated ! Also suspended, yes. But it's a suspended omnimover tech. It turns to viewing angles, climbs and descends, just like Disney HM doombuggies do. But doombuggies are chained (like THIS ride in video, constant speed). In Droomvlucht the gondolas are individually motorised, computer controlled, and accellerate / slow down according to scene sections, plus at the end has the spiral semi-roller-coaster fun. Droomvlucht has, technically, one of the most complicated dark-ride systems in existence.
+157juanse Technically speaking, the Peter Pan's flight is a "flat ride". Track is on constant horizontal plane. However, the magic works much better because there is light on the story telling scenes only. (99,5% blackness above and around) You've got the illusion of rising and descending, by scale change of the scenes. (Perspective illusion) The cost to build Peter Pan's flight, must be a futile fraction, of the cost to build Rainbow Bandits ! (Even when counting 'per travel minute' - the first version on 'crisis budget', the follow up versions ;WDW-Tokyo-Paris..; on more comfortable budget) Even if Disney is often seen as "big capital spender", with Peter Pan they showed (early !!!...) genius in building a make believe masterpiece, on total tiebelt budget !!
Nice ride. But...Nothing beats Disney. Why? Because Disney has storylines for their characters. A long history of nostalgia. There are a lot of imitations but only one Walt Disney. If you can get Disney out of your mind, this ride is great. But There is something about that Disney Magic that makes you feel good.
woow so much effort was put into this!!! I saw many problems with it though.. the main thing being most of the scenes were monochromatic (like the pink.. scene..) and made it very boring.. as well as the same tune being played that isn't as catchy as "its a small world" made it worse. I'm sure they both had a MAJOR part in the story, but without being able to understand it, the monochromatic scenes just make my eyes hurt from trying to see everything.. But the giant animatronics made my jaw drop!! WOWWW.
I thought the storyline had something to do with the bad guys stealing the colors from the different areas and our heroes trying to capture them to get them back. That's why the ride starts out in full color, and then gets less and less, and finally by the end of if, after the bad guy is captured, all the color is bright and restored again! The ride is called "Rainbow Bandits" so to me that makes sense.
+Marina Dragonflame Every country has it's own set of highly popular (TV-)stories, unknown in other countries. You're not going to rebuild the "story" from ignorance of the storyline, isn't it ? ... lol So, lets all stop commenting on things "we don't know" ... Greets.
Wig4 I'm not sure what you mean by your comment on this hmm.. almost two year old comment. But I was just addressing the strengths and weaknesses of this ride artistically. If I remember correctly the story seemed interesting and all, I was just commenting on how the colors and themes could have portrayed the story better. Maybe you should take your own advice and provide something constructive to the discussion, artistically instead of attacking my well intended critique. Sorry for the eye sore, though ;3
+Marina Dragonflame That's exactly my point : without knowledge about content, we all DO bring too often "well intended but nevertheless useless" critique...

I love how makers in Japan make an effort to create original content.

This is like a mix between a nightmare and a bad acid trip.
夏休み、レオマワールドにいきます。たのしみです❤
It's a Small World + Peter Pan.
NoOoOo
it's a small world is to discover all the countries and peter pan is based on the film peter pan and this ride have anything like small world and peter pan
(\___/)

/つ 🇯🇵
It's a small world +Peter pan + Alice in wonderland.
trisha hopkins owowowowowowoowow
notice the one car in front of them is missing the seats. Hopefully that was just for maintenance and it didn't fall off
or maybe it's a wheelchair one
I'm sorry, how?
it’s for the wheel chair
Japan's got some cool shit.
Seriously bizarre! Not matter what language you speak, even Japanese, this is a STRANGE RIDE!
The cuteness is killing me slowly...
They need to remake It's a small world ride on a suspended track like this! cool concept and cute, but weird ride.
No way to suspend small world boat...
NO WAY
懐かしい

I'm not sure I care for the ride itself, but that suspended track is a great innovation.

Last room pretty
Oh, that would be so much fun to go on with a small child. It was long too.
I think someone must have spiked my drink.
Congratulations! You found a ride more annoying then Its a Small World!
This looks like It's A Small World, but with the ride and track system from Peter Pan's Flight.
Awsome cool ride verry colourfull :)
It'd be more impressive if the animatronics weren't on the same level as a holiday window display from the 1970's.

It's like Small World meets the old Berry Tales from Knotts Berry Farm.
1:16 KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

What a cool track. Sometimes these kind of rides are tougher on the adults than the little ones.
kind of reminds me of the Peter Pan ride at Disneyland
Why is the plain wall, pipes and ceiling is more noticeable than decorations.
I'm confused what happened lol
Well, the plot was very well laid out during the ride, however some things in there were very tricky and hard to pick up on. So the story begins in a kingdom that is a bunch of swirly colors and the animals there are all bi-pedal. all of a sudden a little blue person with a swirly face comes up and the colors of the kingdom disappear.

JK XD @_@
Damn, I wanna go on this...
This is the most popular mode of transport in Japan. Standard daily commute here.
Rainbow bandits? You mean Murky and Lurky? XD
cute ride
the bizarre, nightmarish world of international dark rides.
After the first 60 seconds I would be bored shitless.
Why does this makes us think Wizard of OZ, Mixed with The Yellow Sumberine movie look like a living nightmare???? O.O
Acid Trip: The Ride!
Didn't this park already close in 2010?
Isn't this the same system as in The Efteling? Droomvlucht?
Joshua Baruch THIS system is plain-simple, chained straightforward. The Efteling Droomvlucht system is quite complicated ! Also suspended, yes. But it's a suspended omnimover tech.

the suspended ride car in front is missing lol
This is like if It's a Small World met, Peter Pan and Mr. Toad's Wild ride.......
was that statue of liberty, the Cheshire Cat? Hope there's a warning not to consume drugs before riding this thing..
at the begining of the ride i hear yelling pissed off kids! XD
It's like the Peter Pan ride at disney world
Very impressive!
It looks like beetlejuice took a kids ride into a nightmare
It looks like its a small world
Pedal plane race
Kinda reminds me of oz without the scarecrow.
That blue dude looks like that stupid clock from those dumb DHMIS videos
how would you emergency exit?!?
Uhhh....what the hell did I just watch?
Super cute !!
I dont know why, but animatronics make me claustrophobic as fuck o.O
Nice, but they need to work on the lighting effects and hiding the unfinished walls.
The noice is more like an arcade.
My kids would be terrified, lhh 😂
I'm pretty sure there's one that is like that in florida disney world
Peter Pan's Flight

I once had a nightmare that didn't look like this.
Way too noisy
Imagine drinking a boat-load of sake then riding this. Shit gets real >_
I want to drop acid and sit on this all day
Isn't Peter Pan like this
my people are very smart and good with technology!!
I was about to say finally the chinese did something good but nope the Japanese props to yall
was this base on a kids movie or something?
This seems like it's a small world
I'm pretty sure this is a ride about my dreams minus the spinning eyes dude and the princess or whoever she is lol. Looks fun to me though.
So It's a Japanese Peter Panish World of Oz after all?
ok
Im gonna have nightmares. Omf.
I don't know what the f*ck did I just watched.....but me too

Beautiful scenes being terribly served by poor lighting design.
100th comment
so boring ride, some nice effect, but notice it is emty, not many people there
Chinese knock off small world
