Disneyland

Fantasyland at Disneyland features 13 attractions, including the Matterhorn Bobsleds and "it's a small world". Fantasyland's entrance is the beautiful Sleeping Beauty Castle, which has featured a walkthrough attraction since 1957, but closed after the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001 for security reasons. In 1983 it recieved a major facelift and the attraction facades changed from medieval tents to unique buildings themed to the movies the dark rides were based on.

Tokyo Disneyland has three original attractions along with the usual dark rides like Snow White, Peter Pan and Pinocchio. The three unique attractions are the Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour, which features Disney villians including the Horned King from The Black Cauldron, The Mickey Mouse Revue, which was originally from the Magic Kingdom but moved to Tokyo Disneyland for it's opening, and Pooh's Hunny Hunt, which has a innovative and trackless ride system.
