Tokyo Disneyland: Monster's Inc. Ride and Go Seek!

From their site: http://www.tokyodisneyresort.co.jp/tdr/english/howto/spring2009_tdl.html
Come experience the lively world of the Disney/Pixar film Monsters, Inc. in the new Tokyo Disneyland attraction, Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek!

The attraction is set in Monsters, Inc., the company where the humorous and eccentric monsters work. Here, Mike, Sulley, and the other monsters have come up with a plan to entertain the human girl Boo with a game of flashlight tag.

Everyone is invited, so come join in the fun! Youll use flashlights from aboard a Security Tram to spot the monsters hiding in lockers, under helmets, and other unlikely places. And watch out for Randall, who is scheming to disrupt this happy game!

I think that this is a bad ride, yes, but it is SO much better than the California Adventure's Ride. Now, I have only seen the video, but still it takes a lot to be better at something and still be bad. I think that they stretch things too thin with Pixar characters like with "The Seas with Nemo & Friends". Toy Story Mania (name may vary per park) and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin are VERY much exceptions to this though.

@RoxasClaimsRiku I have to admit that this was maybe the hardest attraction to shoot.  It is so immersive, that a camera is only giving you a very small window to see everything around you, which will never be able to do it justice. A good example would be to compare filming this to filming Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. I would love for this to come over to the US, if for nothing else, but let people see how little they see in the video!

I cant tell if the rider here was doing a good job or a bad job but im leaning towards the latter...

[Tkfore21]

@javu10 Not sure either! I do know that the ride has already gone though one rehab since I filmed this to make it easier to have the monsters pop out when the flashlight hits the right spot. I rode this several times, and knew where certain ones were, but could not always get them to come out. I need to get back there and try it again!

Tokyo has another company to pay for everything. Disneyland pays for all the other parks except this one.

[Tkfore21]

Correct. The Oriental Land Company (OLC), owns both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. The names and characters are leased from the Disney Company, which also owns Disneyland, Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Paris Resorts.

Until the expansion announcement for Hong Kong Disneyland, the Disney Company held a minority stake in that park. Disney was given a majority stake in exchange for paying to full amount for this expansion.

I don't understand the hate. This ride looks fantastic and a LOT more entertaining than, say, the one at Disneyland.

The Japan version is more detailed

Thumbs up if you were able to find a Hidden Mickey!!! (Clue: It is in the video on how to play flashlight tag)

[Lightning2659]

@RoxasClaimsRiku I've already rode this ride, and nothing is bad about the ride. It's really fun playing flashlight tag in the ride! Plus, there is even no height requirement for the ride.

[Strivenigga]

the only thing i dont like is it goes by too fast u cant realli take the time to see everything but i love the concept tho flashlight tag clever and if it was in english even better but yeah i like this better then the one in cali

[Strivenigga]

atleast this one has the actually monster inc building all way get in cali is a stupid entrance thats it no detail pretty boring unlike this you get the building from the movie

[60mikester]

[60mikester]
