TOKYO, Feb 09 (News On Japan) - Tokyo Disneyland has announced a special event titled "Celebrating Space Mountain: The Final Ignition!" to mark the closure of its iconic "Space Mountain" attraction. The event will run from April 9 to July 31, 2024, offering guests a final journey through space along with a trip down memory lane.
Space Mountain, a beloved attraction since the park's opening, will close its doors on July 31 this year and undergo a significant transformation. The reimagined "Space Mountain," set to open in 2027, will retain its indoor roller coaster style but will be enhanced with new features and special effects.
During the "Celebrating Space Mountain: The Final Ignition!" event, the area around the attraction will be adorned with special decorations and photo locations designed to evoke the vastness of outer space. A banner featuring the event's logo and the words "The Final Ignition!" will be placed at the front of the attraction, while a "Space Photo Place" will allow guests to take pictures as if they are riding through space.
In conjunction with the event, special merchandise and food items will be available to commemorate past memories of "Space Mountain" and to build excitement for its future evolution. Starting April 8, exclusive goods such as pouches, drawstring bags, tumblers, tissue box covers, and clear holders will be on sale. Additionally, from April 1, a special menu including popcorn in a regular box and a sparkling jelly drink will be offered in advance.
At the Disney Ambassador® Hotel's Hyperion Lounge, a special menu called "Celebrating Space Mountain: The Final Ignition! Premium Sweets Set" will be served, presenting a space-themed culinary experience on a plate.
Furthermore, regardless of whether guests ride the attraction, Tomorrowland will distribute event-exclusive original design stickers as a token of appreciation for their support over the years.
A special free pass for the Disney Resort Line will also be available for purchase starting April 8.
