A new Cinnamoroll attraction opened at Sanrio Puroland on July 12, marking the theme park's first new ride in 11 years. Located in Tama City, Sanrio Puroland previewed the attraction for the media a day before its opening.
An Adventure in the Sky
The ride follows the story of the Sanrio character Cinnamoroll, who becomes enchanted by a beautiful rainbow and sets off on an adventure in the sky aboard an airship. The seats on the ride tilt in sync with images on a large screen. With "magic wands," participants can overcome obstacles that appear along the journey.
At the end, participants' performance in overcoming obstacles is scored. The top five performers receive a "special reward" of having their photos displayed prominently. Laughter erupted as the winners saw their frantic faces on the screen.
The summer event "Puroland Neo Natsu Matsuri" is also being held until September 3, featuring neon decorations and festival-themed stalls.
