StormRider is a simulator ride at Tokyo DisneySea. It simulates going into a weather storm in a futuristic airplane (a "StormRider") to diffuse the storm. The attraction opened on September 4, 2001, in the Port Discovery land of Tokyo DisneySea.
Ride
With its copper roofs and mechanical devices, the attraction building—the "Center for Weather Control"—is themed to a futuristic, almost Victorian era, laboratory. Guests enter a motion simulator (a "StormRider") and are dispatched into a storm to deliver a storm-dissipating device called a "Fuse". The ride is explained in Japanese, with English subtitles on an LCD screen. During the ride, problems are encountered while trying to transport the Fuse. The ride has multiple endings, much like Star Tours at Disneyland California and Disney's Hollywood Studios (in Orlando, Florida).
