Tokyo DisneySea Restricts Soaring Queue to ¥2,000 Premier Access Only
Park reports link standby suspensions to capacity strains, signaling a broader pivot to paid queues.
Overview
- Visitors found a posted notice at Soaring: Fantastic Flight stating only guests with Priority/Premier Access could enter the queue.
- The paid access for the attraction was listed at 2,000 yen per person, roughly $13.59, on top of park admission.
- Guests on site attributed the temporary restriction to severe afternoon thunderstorms that pushed crowds into indoor rides and strained capacity.
- Similar limits were observed in May when Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey accepted only Premier Access holders about an hour before closing.
- Tokyo DisneySea’s paid access often sells out quickly for marquee rides, reflecting Disney’s broader move from free FastPass to paid line-skipping systems.
