First look at Tokyo's new Beauty and the Beast ride

The Tokyo Disney Resort today revealed a video first look as well as the name of its upcoming Beauty and the Beast ride: Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast

In the preview video, we hear from the Imagineers working on the trackless dark ride, which will include the first recreations of Belle and the Beast in animatronic form. We see at least three versions of Belle in the video, in her blue dress, red cloak, and golden gown.

We also see that the ride vehicles will be 10-seat trackless tea cups, which will carry guests through the Beast's castle, including a dance with Belle and the Beast in the castle's ballroom.

Enchanted Tale of Beauty and the Beast is scheduled to open in spring 2020 at Tokyo Disneyland, as part of a major expansion of the park that also includes a 1,500-seat live performance Fantasyland Forest Theatre; a new Minnie Mouse meet and greet, Minnie's Style Studio; and the first Big Hero 6-themed ride, "The Happy Ride with Baymax," which will feature the same ride system as Alien Swirling Saucers and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.
