We’ve seen Disney announce changes in the past for long-time attractions to be rethemed into new attractions with exciting storylines and brand-new characters. Now, an international Disneyland park is following suit as well.

Tokyo Disneyland has just announced one of its rides will be closing for a retheme. This new family-friendly attraction will be featured in Tomorrowland and will take the place of the existing Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters attraction.

The revamped attraction will be themed to the hit animated film, Wreck-It Ralph, which is based on “an arcade-game-hopping adventure” featuring our friends Ralph and Vanellope as together the duo sets out to prove to everyone that he is a true hero with a big heart.

Disney’s shared a few photos of the concept art in the upcoming attraction which will immerse you in the candy-themed racing game Sugar Rush. The game is being attacked by Sugar Bugs – glitches created by King Candy. Riders will be able to team up to transform the Sugar Bugs back to their original “kawaii” confectionery sweets like cookies and cakes.
