Tokyo Disneyland is gearing up to inaugurate a brand new attraction in the spring of 2023, after a gap of 27 years. Although details of the upcoming attraction have not been released yet, theme park enthusiasts and tourists are eagerly anticipating the grand opening. The announcement comes as the amusement park prepares to attract more visitors post-pandemic.

The news of a new attraction at Tokyo Disneyland is widely discussed in Japan as it affects a large segment of society including families, children, and young adults, boasting a legacy of already being a popular pastime destination. The focus also lies on its potential to bolster tourism and local economy, two sectors heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Wholly similar to trends in the USA and EU, Japan relies heavily on its theme parks and recreational centres as major tourist attractions that significantly contribute to the economy. As seen with the frequent additions at parks like Disneyland and Universal Studios in these regions, new attractions are highly anticipated, generating increased footfall and consequent economy surge.
