Mount Prometheus

Mount Prometheus

A note to pyros everywhere: Mount Prometheus (the centerpiece of Tokyo Disney Sea) is a man-made, working volcano, complete with loud sound effects and real heat-producing flames.

Walt Disney Imagineering set off to create an impressive icon for Tokyo Disney Sea and ended up with one of the largest rockwork projects they had ever created. Inside the mountain are burners that fire periodically into the air. Flames leap out of the volcano’s crater and guests feel the resulting surge of heat.

While I’m sure this is a welcome effect in the winter, where temperatures in Tokyo can dip below my comfort level, it’s not so entertaining in the summer heat and humidity. Still, the show impressed us, and I noticed that it stopped the guests around us dead in their tracks. The volcano can be heard from virtually every outdoor location in the park.

In the evening, themed lighting dramatically changes the look of Mount Prometheus. Bring a tripod to shoot the mountain and capture the image. Keep in mind that Mount Prometheus serves as a different backdrop in each port of call. Don’t forget to get a shot of it in Port Discovery, with its interesting rotating paddle sculpture in the foreground.
