Tokyo Disneyland has set an opening date for its new Wreck-It Ralph ride, Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue.
The world’s first Wreck-It Ralph-themed attraction will officially open on 15 April, 2027 at Tokyo Disneyland, coinciding with the theme park's 44th anniversary.
A redesign of the park's former Buzz Lightyear interactive dark ride, Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue invites guests on an adventure alongside Ralph and Vanellope to defeat King Candy.

In the new attraction, King Candy is plotting to take over the world of video games and has transformed the candies of Sugar Rush into Sugar Bugs programmed to consume the whole kingdom.
On the new ride, guests will enter the Sugar Rush game world from the Wreck-It Ralph films, teaming up with Ralph and Vanellope to restore the Sugar Bugs to their original kawaii forms before they destroy everything.
The ride will let guests scan the bugs using devices onboard ride vehicles, transforming them back to their original forms. Points will be awarded based on the types and number of Sugar Bugs restored.
Riders will be able to view their results on the ride vehicle screens and, for a limited time, in the Tokyo Disney Resort app, where ride photos will also be available to purchase.

Ahead of the attraction’s opening, a Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue-inspired smartphone mini-game will launch on 12 January, followed by themed decorations and photo opportunities in Tomorrowland in February and Cinderella Castle projections in March.
Sugar Rush: Sweet Rescue will join the new Space Mountain Earthrise indoor roller coaster, also opening in 2027, as part of a 100 billion yen ($630 million) transformation of Tokyo Disneyland’s Tomorrowland.
