Aladdin Central Messageboard

It was announced yesterday by the Oriental Land Company (OLC) that Tokyo DisneySea will receive a new attraction in 2011 based on Aladdin. Jasmine’s Flying Carpets will allow guests to manueuver their vehicles up and down to a maximum height of approximately 16 feet as well as tilt the vehicle forward and backwards. Located in the Arabian Coast area, next to Sindbad’s Storybook Voyage, each of the 16 vehicles will hold two rows of two guests each.

With a total approximate investment of $22 million dollars, Jasmine’s Flying Carpets is anticipated to open in Summer of 2011. Other attractions anticipated in 2011 at the Resort include Mickey’s Philharmagic and Cinderella’s Fairy Tale Hall, both in Tokyo Disneyland.

Basically, if you've been on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin in Walt Disney World, you're not missing much except theming

There seems to be relatively more Aladdin stuff at Tokyo Disneyland than at either of the US parks. Is it a lot more popular there?

I would definitely say yes. Genie in general seems to be huge over there (along with anything else that's blue and/or cute I'm noticing ), so it might extend to the rest of the cast by default. Still, it's a lot more than anything in the States just at DisneySeas alone.
