Park Paradise

Disneyland Tokyo - Fantasmic

I am currently in the process of planning a major adventure to Asia, not only to do some travelling but also strike Disneyland Hong Kong and Tokyo off my list of “Disney Parks Visited” (bringing my list to completion may I add). 

I stumbled across this audio for the new Fantasmic night-time spectacular at Disney Sea which opened in 2011, and can I just say that it is amazing!!

I have forced myself not to watch the show, which I hear has been remastered from the versions currently in America. I cannot get over the Disney characters in Japanese though, it’s really odd!

Anyway, enjoy the audio! 

Disneyland California - Minnie’s Fly Girls Charter Airline

“Minnie’s Fly Girls Charter Airline” opened for business over the weekend at Disney California Adventure park. This tune-filled “travelogue” of song, dance and audience interaction takes place in Condor Flats, across from Soarin’ Over California, featuring songs from the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s in a colorful new show sure to appeal to the young and young at heart.

It looks like a lot of fun and a great show for the kids!

Disney Music - Dreams of Christmas

I stumbled across this INCREDIBLE mix of Disney music at Christmas from around the globe yesterday, and I literally had to share it with you all! It has every Disney Christmas parade/show soundtrack going, all combined into one 21 minute video (it also includes some lovely photos). 

Take a listen above, I strongly recommend it! 

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay - Iceploration

Busch Gardens Tampa has announced that a new ice show called Iceploration, will open in the park’s Moroccan Palace Theater on February 2nd 2012.

The park’s press release promises that the 30 minute show will feature a cast of ice skaters, aerial performers, puppets and live animals. It will replace Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy in the theater, with the previous show having closed on September 5th 2011.

Iceploration’s plot will center around Austin, a teenager with a life that revolves around technology. The boy’s grandfather will take him on a journey of discovery around the globe, in which they will visit the African Serengeti, the Great Barrier Reef, the Arctic and the Amazon Rainforest.

A very strange concept to replace the Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy, but if parks didn’t mix it up once in a while then the whole place would be very dull wouldn’t it?
