So many people said this line was a waste given how quick the attraction is. We’d purchased a pass though—they’re actually really reasonable and pretty openly available in both Tokyo parks—so I admittedly got to ride without the trouble of a 2 hour wait.
That said? This room would have made it worthwhile. It has more wow factor and emotional punch than any other attraction space I can think of…and in that moment, on the last day of my trip to Japan, the trip I’d waited for for so, so long—I think I was processing that whole “time to find a new dream” feeling right alongside her.
Tokyo wowed me again and again. Sinbad, Beauty and the Beast, even their Small World…but when I look back on this portion of the trip, I think I remember this room the most.
