Monsters, Inc. Attraction Media Day

Wednesday, April 9th was the first media preview day for Monsters, Inc. "Ride & Go Seek!" The first new TDL attraction to open in five years opens officially on April 15th for the Park's 26th Anniversary. The new merchandise shop was also open for the press.

The ride has been opened for public sneak previews since March 19th. It was closed on this day to give media outlets a chance to cover the new ride. There were also several media crews filming feature spots for upcoming variety and morning programs for Japanese television. More pictures are available on the Japanese site of MSN/Sankei News.

A poster on Micechat.com has added pictures from her visit that day. It also features new merchandise being sold ahead of the official opening.

TDLFAN Reviews New DVD & Monsters Inc. Ride

A good friend of mine, the world-famous TDLFAN, has just posted his detailed reviews of two new offerings from the Resort. Recently, he's had a chance to view the newest DVD-set release "Dreams of Tokyo Disney Resort 25th Anniversary Year Magic Collection" and he also experienced a sneak preview of TDL's newest attraction "Monsters, Inc. Ride & Go Seek!"

On the MiceChat forums, TDLFAN simply loves the two-DVD set that includes 25th Anniversary footage of all the special events and parades from the past year. Each DVD is also sold separately as the "Packed with Highlights" disc and the "Two Shows in their Entirty" disc.

He also gives a positive review of the Monsters, Inc. ride scheduled to open officially on April 15th for TDL's 26th Anniversary. While he enjoyed the ride and gave it a score of 3.75, it doesn't compare with the 5-point Pooh's Hunny Hunt.
