The ride is sponsored by Bridgestone and features a grandstand for visitors to watch the "races" between drivers. The track is described as a "figure eight" shape, but is actually quite longer. The line is long since it is easily one of the popular attractions here at tokyo disney and the cars come in different shapes and sizes and the ling figure of 8 ride around the tracks runs about 5 minutes if you are not speeding the gas pedal.

Going to Tokyo Disney

the views of around Tokyo Disney and going to and from it. Tokyo Disneyland is just slightly bigger than Disneyland in Anahiem, California, but otherwise is based on the same design, with one major exception. Because of occasionally inclement weather, Main Street USA (World Bazaar) is entirely under a Victorian style glass and wrought iron roof. Tokyo Disneyland lies just outside of Central Tokyo in Urayasu City, 15 kilometers east of tokyo. The nearest station to Disneyland is Maihama Station and the best way to go into Tokyo or back from Tokyo is by the JR Keiyo Line train which lies near the JR Tokyo Station.
