StormRider was a simulator ride at Tokyo DisneySea. It simulated going into a weather storm in a futuristic airplane (a "StormRider") to dissipate the storm. The attraction opened on September 4, 2001, in the Port Discovery land of Tokyo DisneySea.[2] The attraction closed on May 17, 2016 and replaced by a new Finding Nemo/Finding Dory simulator ride called Nemo & Friends SeaRider.[3]

Ride

With its copper roofs and mechanical devices, the attraction building—the "Center for Weather Control"—was themed to a futuristic, almost Victorian era, laboratory. Guests entered a motion simulator (a "StormRider") and were dispatched into a storm to deliver a storm-dissipating device called a "Fuse". The ride was explained in Japanese, with English subtitles on an LCD screen. During the ride, problems were encountered while trying to transport the Fuse.
