help Shanghai Disneyland FAQ

What is the name of the castle at Shanghai Disneyland?

The park features the Enchanted Storybook Castle, which is the largest Disney castle ever built at the time of the park's opening. Unlike previous parks that featured castles dedicated to a single princess, this massive structure represents all Disney royalty.

Does Shanghai Disneyland have Pirates of the Caribbean?

Yes, it features "Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure," which is widely considered the most technologically advanced ride in any Disney park. This boat ride utilizes massive projection mapping and screen-dome technology rather than the traditional 1967 track layout.

Is the TRON Lightcycle Power Run unique to Shanghai Disneyland?

The TRON Lightcycle Power Run was highly exclusive to Shanghai Disneyland when the park opened its gates in mainland China. It is a high-speed, motorcycle-style rollercoaster that was eventually cloned and brought to Walt Disney World in Florida as TRON Lightcycle / Run.
