Ranking All 30 Rides at Tokyo Disneyland

Tokyo Disneyland has one of the highest ride counts of any Disney park, but which is the best, and which should you skip?

From classics like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion and even Splash Mountain, to unique modern masterpieces such as Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Monster's Inc Ride & Go Seek and Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast, Tokyo Disneyland offers a ton of rides, but it can be hard to know which ones to prioritise when you visit.

❓ Have you visited Tokyo Disneyland and you disagree with my rankings? Perhaps you've never been but you have some questions about the park. Please let me know in the comments!

Fun fact: the reason why the train only has one station is because by Japanese law, any train ride that has more than 2 stations are legally required to set fare and get proper license!

Splash Mountain has always been not only my favourite attraction of all time but my favourite thing, so I couldn’t agree more! I teared up riding it this summer, as it means so much to me and knowing the laughing place was here to stay in Tokyo and looked better than I’d ever seen it meant a lot! It’s the perfect Disney attraction, larger than life set pieces, colourful characters, animatronics, a great story and thrills. It’s just perfect!

Also fell in love with Tony Solaroni and while his show doesn’t count as a ride it was honestly my highlight of my trip! Underrated ‘attraction’ with no wait! Love that little guy!

Definetely agree with number one pick, cant wait to visit tokyos splash mountain later this year!

So, in Paris, Stitch Encounter is called Stitch Live! and there is a French version AND an English version. They have a separate queue area for the two languages. It’s kind of fun, and I swear that replicated some of it at an outdoor stage show at WDW, because I remember the joke where they ask some kid “what planet they’re from, ” and they say some city, state, or country, and their home planet is forever known as whatever that kid said.

I read that the HKDL has an English version as well, or did, until it closed.

Fantastic video! I’m hoping to go to Tokyo Disneyland around four years from now for my 30th Birthday and when the new Space Mountain opens, and I found this video to be super informative!

Since there’s a good chance that I won’t be back there for over a decade after I hopefully take this trip in 2027, I’ll most likely skip things like Stitch Encounter, The Happy Ride with Baymax, and since it’s the same as the American parks, but in Japanese Mickey’s Philharmagic.

I’m so glad to see Splash Mountain as #1! As someone who’s only been to the six United States parks, Splash Mountain is my second favorite Disney attraction I’ve been on only behind Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean. I actually just finished a Disney College Program at Walt Disney World and during it I rode Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom almost 150 times including seven times on its last day. A few months later I even got to meet Tony Baxter who came up with it. I was obviously super bummed to lose both American Splash Mountains, but I’m beyond thankful that Tokyo has no interest in changing there’s and I just know that it will be so special when I hopefully get to reunite with Splash Mountain if I end up going to Tokyo Disneyland in September 2027 after almost five years since I last went on it!

0:25 You didn't rank The Amazing Backwards Airplane.

I'm surprised to see Baymax so low! True that the actual ride mechanics are basic but it takes the turns surprisingly hard.

And the lines may be long but I never feel like I'm just stuck waiting in them cause of the soundtrack. I had so much fun watching videos online to prepare and learn all 6 dances (even though they're mostly just waving your arms back and forth until the chorus), and the vibes with others dancing is just the best! The fans of this ride are so lovely and welcoming too, if you go without knowing the dance but want to learn, you can copy their moves, but a lot of people are happy to help you out and teach you the moves too!

I like going to dance on the side even if I'm not lining up to ride. It's a great last ride too, cause you'll get whole groups of people dancing by the ride fences around the end of the night that can hype you up as you ride!

I definitely agree with most of this list. I'm actually really glad that someone else appreciates the Mark Twain as much as I do. The Rivers of America/Critter Country area is definitely the prettiest and most kinetic part of the park with Splash mountain, the train, the riverboat, and the canoes. Splash mountain is definitely unmatched. It's probably my favorite attraction in the resort. I also think the OLC knew that Space mountain was the weakest mountain out of the three (yet it's one of the better Space mountains out there), which is why they're rebuilding it. Personally, I don't think they're going to replace Splash mountain (as it's pretty much perfect), but rework Big thunder and the Westernland area next because that area has always been pretty weak especially since you can't even see the ride unless you take the railroad or queue up for it. They might even try to make a version of Big thunder better than the one in Paris.

Hope this video performs well! It's definitely your best so far.

I visited in 2014 solo, and no one wanted to speak to a single western woman. I think they were worried their English wouldn’t be good enough. But, when I rode Jungle Cruise, I laughed in all the right places and everyone on the boat thought I understood Japanese. Suddenly they made eye contact and spoke to me. The only phrase I memorized other than the basics was, sorry, I don’t speak Japanese. After I said that, everyone looked away again!

[Tortidis]

Great list, and I agree for the most part. But I personally rank Country Bear Jamboree much higher, easily within my top 10 at the park. One crucial thing about Tokyo's version that I'm surprised you didn't mention was that it's the only CBJ to still have both the Summertime and Holiday overlays, both of which I love even more than the standard show!

12:02 Spinning Possums!!!!😍😍😍
Why don’t we have those at Disney World?😡

[sorcerermickeyfanguy]

I think you were quite harsh on Dumbo and the Tea Cups

8:25 "Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster" will close in October 2024.

I've been to Disneyland Paris as a child and now am thinking between Disney Sea and Tokyo Disneyland
Which one is the best if I'm not a big fan of thrill rides and I'm looking for the least qued park?

[davidguthrie]

Star Tours is something of an anomaly for me. In general, I tend to dislike 3d motion simulators, but I've always loved Star Tours. It's one of my favorite rides in each park, and I love how it gets a short wait

[Eldollow]

Putting beauty and the beast under things like splash mountain screams favorability

[dougbrookes]

Great Video, I pretty much agree but think Beauty and the Beast might just be a little higher instead of Pirates - Disneyland and DLP is just better. So hard to choose at that level though…

[tdrdash]

I’ve been parks many times but didn’t know Big Thunder had a single rider. I tried Splash mountain single rider last time I went but wasn’t successful! since officially there is no single rider now
