TOKYO - TOKYO Disneyland's twice-daily parades, which were halted earlier this week after an accident involving one of the floats, will resume this weekend, park officials said on Friday.
The theme park's popular Disney Dreams On Parade was suspended after a 300-kilogramme steel pillar adorned with colourful planets tumbled from a Buzz Lightyear float on Tuesday night.
Nobody was injured when Buzz - the hero from the 1995 Disney movie 'Toy Story' - crashed to the ground just metres away from children lined up to watch the show.
The park's operator, Oriental Land Co, said in a statement on Friday it has inspected the floats and will resume the parade on Saturday afternoon.
The company said the cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Disneyland, the first Disney park opened outside the US, is one of two hugely popular theme parks Oriental Land operates near Tokyo.
In 2007, 25.4 million people visited Disneyland and its nearby sister attraction, Disneysea. -- AP
