Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

Harry Potter Christmas retheme out here in Japan. In ones humble opinion they could easily do this stateside.

So dang magical...I have one question though...why is fire shooting from that one building?

Interactive Wands.

Yeah, I figured I'd keep it in even though its interactive wands. Or you could pretend that someone was protesting christmas and made an anti-santa chimey. Which I would fear if I was a wizard minding my own business and all of a sudden a red suit wearing home invader came into my house via chimey.

Anyone hungry?

Japan is gearing up to become Universal's flagship park, if they aren't already.

 

[Jonathan]

Yeah, I think they're already there and this will only cement it that much more.

I see Bowser's Castle...


I just love how bonkers insane USJ is in its everything. Definitely have to get there soon.

 

[Alexshow.]

First off, I love; love; love the name. Especially with some of the rumored attractions going in (with it further cemented by patents earlier last week), I am very excited to see what happens to the park..

I would actually say that Japan is in a sense, the WDW of the UPR division, but Universal Orlando is the flagship; due to a lot of things originating from there more than Japan.

So there is a anime store inside of Citywalk. Do you think this would work in the parks at the state? Or do you think people would look at it and say "meh" and move on?

Yes it would work fantastically. Look at the gift shop in Japan section of Epcot and how packed and busy it is with anime stuff. I think a lot of people undervalue it.

The Miksukoshi benefits from being part of a real department store chain - so it utilizes the sales info and such that the actual chain has, aka: they know what tourists buy in their other stores.

So unlike other Epcot shops which are often stocked in a very head-scratching "why'd they pick that to sell?" manner the Mitsukoshi stocks itself with items they know tourists in Japan buy.

Ummm whats the second "large scale attraction" coming summer 2017 to USJ that's not minions or cool related?

If I were to guess, it relates to DM in a way and that it'll be something like those "The Real" experiences like what Dragon Quest, Attack on Titan, and Monster Hunter experiences are; or, at least I would think.

So... do we know the details of this Godzilla ride...?

Its replacing Dragon Ball Z 4D in the same theatre. For Dragonball and Evangelion they recreated a moment of the films and turned it 4D so I'm assuming they are remaking part of the film to make it 4D.

So not even a ride - good to know.
