Overview
- Oriental Land Company disclosed the revised ¥70.5 billion budget on February 19, confirming the project as Walt Disney Imagineering’s most expensive attraction to date.
- The figure is up from an initial ¥56 billion after construction costs escalated with Japan’s inflation peak in early 2023 and were locked into the project.
- Opening remains slated for 2027, with reports pointing to an April 15 target, alongside a Wreck‑It Ralph attraction budgeted at about ¥29.5 billion.
- Construction has advanced with coaster track installed before the building; enthusiasts have identified a likely Intamin drop‑track section, a detail not officially confirmed.
- At current exchange rates the investment is roughly $460 million, and OLC’s project‑level disclosures provide rare official cost clarity that Disney typically does not publish for individual rides.
