Coming up on this weeks show, we are joined by Kat and Lewis and together we look at the many trackess attractions there are in the many different Disney theme parks. 

Poohs Hunny Hunt
This is a trackless dark ride that is found in Fantasyland in Tokyo Disneyland. It opened on 4th September 2000 and was the first of the 'pure' trackless ride systems.
Aquatopia
This opened on the 4th September 2001 and can be found in the Port Discovery Area of Disney Sea, Tokyo. These 'hovercrafts' can seat up to three and appear to skim across the 2" of water. In summer, the attraction may get you incredibly wet!
Mystic Manor 
To may, this is the best example of this technology. It is a dark ride in the Mystic Point area of Hong Kong Disneyland that officially opened on 17th May 2013. It utilises the trackless system and is a take on the Haunted Mansion however, there is no mention of departed spirits or the afterlife (due to Chinese culture differing to American). It brings to life a new narrative rovolving round Lord Henry Mystic and his trusty monkey sidekick Albert.

Ratatouille: L'Aventure Totalement Toquée de Rémy
This attraction can be found in Toon Studios at The Walt Disney Studios in Paris. It opened on the 10th July 2014 and there is going to be a similar version placed into the France Pavillion in EPCOT.
