Now that we have looked at the three major new attractions opening in Tokyo DisneySea's Fantasy Springs, let's not forget its fourth new ride.
Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies is an outdoor track ride that might give Disneyland Resort fans in California flashbacks to Heimlich's Chew Chew Train. Again, you're shrunk to small size for a tour around common objects that now appear super-sized. And it all starts in the queue.
An alternate title for this ride could have been "Tink's Delivery Service." You will be riding in wicker baskets, helping Tinker Bell delivery gifts to other fairies and residents of Pixie Hollow. I love that the envelope here is addressed to "Cherry Tree Lane" in London. It's about time for Disney to give us a Peter Pan/Mary Poppins cross-over, isn't it?
About those baskets, though. Unlike on a Heimlich's, where you rode atop that caterpillar's back, these baskets spin on the ride base, helping to give Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies a taste of a thrill ride experience, without being too rough for little visitors. With the nearby Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure having a 40-inch height requirement, Tinker Bell provides Fantasy Springs' youngest visitors a Pan-themed attraction to experience instead.
And with those riders' help - and yours - Tinker Bell will complete her deliveries. Including to... uh, are they from Mortimer's side of the family?
Anyway, here is a POV video of Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies.

Gotta be honest...I've seen better attractions of this style at many of the regional theme parks in Europe, so I'm pretty surprised Tokyo DisneySea opted for what is little more than a low capacity filler attraction. Given that the other three seem to be capable of accommodating most (if not all) riders from every age demographic, I'm questioning why they felt the need to include this one as well.
looks extremely cute.

Another beautiful looking ride! Still wish there would have been at least 1 thrilling ride. It's going to be impossible to do DisneySea in 1 day now!
