Yes, that's exactly what I was pointing out.

To sum up... the Japanese are more respectful and don't "check their brain" when they visit the parks like the Americans do.

Japanese folks in group situations do what they're told. Americans don't. Walk through attractions in the dark that might make Disney nervous in the US wouldn't necessarily make them nervous in Japan because of the cultural and behavioral differences of the people walking through it.

Ever been on a Hoover Dam hard-hat tour before the terrorist attacks stopped them? Let me tell you, if someone screwed up or didn't follow directions in those tours, you're easily talking serious injury if not death.

I don't really agree with your statement, although I don't think you were trying to discriminate against anyone. I think for Disney it's more of a liability thing, as the US is much more lawsuit-happy.

You know...the COOLEST (well to me) in that attraction looked to be those little goblin faces (form Sleeping Beauty) that appeared in the water of the fountains. Simple effect...but creepy.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

I think it looked nifty because it was the only Disney attraction anywhere to feature characters from The Black Cauldron. You have to admit that Horned King AA looked pretty freaky.

Personally I thought it looks pretty dated specifically because it prominently featured The Black Cauldron. We used to own a game based on that movie for Apple II and my son would ask why he'd never seen that movie before. I'd have to explain that it came from the bad old era of Disney animation and that he really wouldn't want to see that one.

This, of course, was back when Disney movies had VERY limited release on VHS.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

The Horned King AA was slow-moving, particularly compared to the top of the line figures.
The entire thing really lacked "magic" and the effects were creaky, hokey, and not particularly interesting.

Gee tell us how you really feel.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

There were other issues too, like safety.

I can see how they would consider that an issue in the U.S. but there really weren't many problems when I went on it.

Going up and down stairs in darkness was pretty dangerous and it was too much of a hassle to the CM's leading the tour I think.

They would very much get into it, you wouldn't be able to tell. I've never seen any person not cooperate with the CM and I have been going to that attraction for quite some time. I have baby pictures of myself in there.

Wow ... it was nice to see that again. Too bad I couldn't understand most of it.

I've never been to TDR but seeing this wants to make me go. But it's closed, and that stinks. I want that at Disneyland, CA and Disneyworld now though for the more mature audiences.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

Okay, that was more of the answer I was hoping for. Although how much of a safety risk was it? I mean going thru the IJA queue has to be as dangerous as that.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

What was TDL's reasoning behind closing it? I haven't been able to figure that out to this day.

I think they took it out because it was getting dated.

Re: Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour Videos

I know it is closed but I thought it looked interesting. And I get what your saying about knowing Japanese to fully appreciate it. Thanks. Maybe they will reopen it in the future.
