i do agree that this version is a lot more textbook to the actual story, but give a little bit of thought - this is suppose to be a Disney ride, a ride meant for children. i think the lack of music and the overall darker undertone probably frightened younger children, which is most likely the direct cause as to why they renovated the ride.
i guess... but i really like the music though... i also like mysterious stories and generally when it's kept authentic but there is also something very wholesome about the musical version... i still remember how it was getting late with the sun setting and we already did all the action based rides and we kinda wandered through the mermaid lagoon and arabian coast and went on the sinbad ride... it was such a nice atmosphere...
So you think cute little chibi animatronic figures are perfect for a scary, mysterious ride that scares kids? There’s a clear disconnect that the new version fixed. There’s a reason the new one is popular while this version tanked, as cool as it was
@@Raypunzel Eh, it was basically just as popular. The new one is never above a 5 minute wait either. That's partially due to it having a very high guest capacity. I personally think the only scene they needed to change entirely was the monkey one. They could have kept the others mostly the same while integrating Chandu and the song into portions of the ride. That way it'd be a more balanced portrayal; They went from one extreme to the other.
These animatronics move so fluidly it's hard to believe they aren't CGI. Just look at how much expression Sindbad has at 2:25. They seriously feel on par with some more modern figures. I don't know if it's because they're newer at the time of this recording or if the art style of the dolls leaves a lot of room for movement, but these are honestly gorgeous. Shame I never got to see this version but I'm happy I had the opportunity to visit at all.
the crazyest thing is the fact that they were not even made by disney but by an entertainment company that closed in 2003 Avg entertainment, they were the garner holt equivalent back then...
I understand why they made most of the changes as young children found them scary, but I find the change to the whale rather interesting, because while it was a little scary, I would argue that Monsto in Pinocchio’s Journey, which was also in Tokyo Disneyland, to be way scarier.

I'd like to think the original version was really inspired by the Fata Morgana attraction at the Dutch theme park Efteling. Has so much of the same vibe going on.
This is really interesting! I personally love the new version because i love the song and the addition of chandu, but it’s cool to see this version too. I really hope sinbad sticks around for a long time as every time i’ve been it has been a walk on :/
I would love this version of the ride as a pre-teen and older but not younger since this is the type of scary noisy dark ride my family forced me to ride as a tradition with my older siblings. I remember I always closed my eyes, put my hands over my ears and sometimes chew on something during the whole ride.
the movement of the animatronics is almost too fluid. It makes me uncomfortable. It's like if a stop motion movie came to life. That said, this ride looks amazing and I wish I could have ridden it
So glad we got the current version. This one is nice but has none of that Disney charm. The music with everyone singing along is just amazing in the new one!
I like both versions for different reasons. The original version here is more accurate to the original stories, and it feels more like an adventure! The new version just emanates that Disney charm, including having a beautiful song as its soundtrack. I'd love to see a story that combines the best of the two versions.
I think also the issue is that Disney Sea doesn’t have as many attractions or variety as Tokyo Disney land, especially at the time. It’s not like there was a Peter pans flight or Winnie the Pooh around the corner. Imagine brining a very young child whose scared of this ride and see there’s not much in the way of other kids fare as alternative at the park. Nowadays, there’s more for sure but at the time, I understand the change (also, their looks make it seem more child friendly at a glance, so having it be so true to the original and so dark was a little off (and remember, it may not seem too scary here but in real life, those are HUGE animatronics moving very convincingly and you’re forced to look at them for a while with tense music. I honestly woulda been a little frightened as a kid of the new one even just on account of the scale, and the song does a LOT to remedy the tone, helped by the fact that it’s a BANGER that fills the more Disney like gap the Sea lacks a bit (it’s a great theme park but it’s decidedly less Disney feeling (or was for a bit there) than Disneyland
I agree! The music is amazing, and I hate that it might be lost to history. I don't think it was composed by Menken, but I've never been able to find out who wrote it...
Sorry not sorry This IS the superior version I get that it’s pretty intense and needless to say I would be scared if I rode this as a kid While I’m all for toning it down for young audiences the massive 180 refurbishment was just not the answer I love Allen menkin and all but that song was annoyingly repetitive and the overall experience was pandering Besides when considering my own personal childhood fears I can almost safely tell you that children won’t likely be terrified of the nature of the animatronics but the size. The gigantic animatronics regardless of whether or not the characters they represent are friendly were unsettling to me as a child
I get you, but at the same time, it isn't just the song that makes the new one interesting. It's the fact that everything, audio wise, happens on it's own speaker. Anamatronics have isolated vocal tracks, the instrument playing anamatronics actually have recordings of those instruments joining in, and then due to the isolated vocals the orchestra absolutely surrounds you.
This version is so much better...more mysterious and kept to the authentic story...instead of an annoying musical version!

I was thinking the same thing! Fata Morgana is such an interesting ride; a lot of Efteling's dark rides are very surreal and dream-like.

Compass of your heart blah blah that song is stuck i my head now KEKW
All I have to say is praise this cameraman. Some top-notch cuts from what 2001?
Ha, thanks! It was 2005.
@@BoogaFrito Epic job! Which version of the ride do you like better?
@@Halloween_Tree Definitely the first version! It's just so original and unlike than anything Disney had done before...
I love those Sirens! That eerie music is fantastic.
I really love how terrifying it is.....like animatronic HELL!!!!
Sindbad And The Storybook Voyage But It’s Opposite Day
thank you for showing the old version and with good quality video footage. I just wish I could translate what there saying
I like the original one but the new one has this song that stays in your head for days. I learned that Alan Menken made that's why.
Yeah compass of your heart i wish sinbad from the serie adventure of sinbad singing this to me rubbing my hair gently😊

Monkey scene was just terrifying
There are 2 Sinbad rides in East Asia. One is from Tokyo DisneySea Japan, and the other is from Seoul Lotteworld South Korea.
Such a shame they changed this ride! I wish the amazing Buddy Baker score was available to listen to in high quality!
Good Job. 👏🏼
So glad we got the current version. This one is nice but has none of that Disney charm. The music with everyone singing along is just amazing in the new one!
I have seen both versions. The old in 2003, and the new in 2011. I like the new version FAR better!
Why cause it less scary?
@@theaubreycoxytpsandunivers7274 Simply because I like it!

昔のストーリーはパイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのような写実的な人形のほうがいいと思います。
これは可愛らしい人形なのでリニューアルしたストーリーが合ってると思いました。

They’ve should’ve kept the dancers on top of the bridge. 😔
シンドバッド 今と真逆
It was changed because the guests thought it was too scary and dark. It's like you guys forget that Disney is a family park.

I prefer this version. It was scarier, and I love horror things. Especially on a kids ride.
😃これ乗ったら、怖くて泣いた。今の方が、よっぽど良いわ。こう見ると村人にいるキャラクターは一緒ですね。
This version is so much better than the new one...definitely creepy monkey scene...I love it
Greetings! May I use this footage in a video I'm making about this ride's history? I will give your channel full credit.
Sure, go ahead!
How many times did you ride this to get all those camera angles?
I think just two trips for most of the video, except for the close-up shots of the two dogs, which I took my third time...
This version is definitely the weaker one.
Can anyone make the music that starts at 0:23? Thank you.
AM I HIGH ON DRUGS WITH MY ENGLISH TEACHER
Someone should upload the soundtrack of this version ! Was it also composed by Alan Menken ?
I agree! The music is amazing, and I hate that it might be lost to history. I don't think it was composed by Menken, but I've never been able to find out who wrote it...
Well dang. This really is superior to the current version.
*everybody gangsta until the giants head falls off*
Wait, it actually happened XD ?
@@dededefanoh heck nah
@@dededefan send me a link
@@SneakyJake1012 Oh, I was actually asking you if it happened, I personally don't know XD
@@dededefan oh lol i’m reading it again, i’m an idiot.
no it didn’t happen
Sorry not sorry
This IS the superior version
I get that it’s pretty intense and needless to say I would be scared if I rode this as a kid
While I’m all for toning it down for young audiences the massive 180 refurbishment was just not the answer
I love Allen menkin and all but that song was annoyingly repetitive and the overall experience was pandering
