Il terribile terremoto che ha devastato il nord del Giappone poche ore fa ha portato seri danni anche a Tokyo Disneyland. Danni che passano in secondo piano rispetto alle milioni di persone in questo momento senza elettricità, senza casa, senza la possibilità di tornare dalle loro famiglie (a causa dei trasporti interrotti). Mi sembra comunque giusto riportare anche queste notizie.
Non ic sono stati feriti a Tokyo Disneyland. Nel resort, al momento del sisma, si trovavano circa 69mila ospiti, tutti evacuati. Al calare della sera, molti si sono accampati nelle vie dei parchi, assistiti dai Cast Member che hanno fornito cibo, impermeabili e caloriferi. L'hotel è già stato dichiarato agibile, per cui è stato possibile offrire un riparo ad un gran numero di persone. Per quanto riguarda i danni, bisogna ricordare che parte del resort è costruita su terreni strappati al mare tramite cementificazione. Le scosse hanno prodotto crepe ed infiltrazioni: il parcheggio è totalmente distrutto ed allagato; anche al DisneySea si registrano allagamenti a causa della liquefazione del suolo. I parci resteranno chiusi domani e probabilmente anche il giorno successivo. Da The Disney Blog: Japan Earthquake strands tourists at Tokyo Disneyland, damage reports coming in A tragedy of giant proportions is playing out in Japan today. An 8.9 magnitude mega-earthquake has rocked the company and then the double whammy of twin tsunami’s swept across much of the country’s coast devastating villages and even threatening operations at a nuclear plant. Additional tsunami warnings are in effect for Hawaii and the west coast of the United States. Everyone please take care and head all warnings to evacuate. Disney fans will note that the third Magic Kingdom style park ever built is in Tokyo. Reports from the Tokyo Disneyland resort indicate that the car park and Disney Sea expansion area has experienced some liquifaction (wikipedia) causing large puddles of water to appear on roads and parking lots as much of Tokyo Disneyland expansion areas was built on landfill. The main impact of the earthquake and tsunami was 200 miles north of the resort. Despite online reports of catastrophic damage, only minor structural damage has been reported and there were no injuries thankfully. This picture of Tokyo DisneySea shows no major damage, but very crowded common areas. The 69,000 guests in park were evacuated to safe areas and given supplies to shelter in place over night as transportation options were affected by the quake. Twitter user Rezaikram has posted pictures of guests camped out in the common areas of the park. Among the supplies provided were “disposable heaters, plastic bags, and rain coats” according to Rezaikram. This photo from Disney parks entertainment executive Steve Davison, responsible for many of Disney’s night shows, shows some damage to the Toyko Disneyland Resort. He also reports they’ve been allowed back into their hotel. All our thoughts go out to the people of Japan. Stay tuned for more updates related to Disney properties and this mega-disaster as they come in. After making sure guests and cast members are safe, the next steps for Tokyo Disneyland Resort will be to inspect all attractions, structures, and utilities for damage. Plus, I’m sure the company will reach out to the local community to help as needed. Update: local news in Japan is reporting that the liquifaction has ‘destroyed’ the Tokyo Disneyland parking lot. Video shows some damage and large puddles. Update: closure tomorrow and possibly next day now confirmed by TDL park management. Also confirmed that no injuries were reported at the resort. |
