Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

[saint.piss]

I watched the Detective Conan 4D show yesterday and it was INCREDIBLE! I was genuinely so surprised. It reminded me so much of what made the old Terminator 3D show so good. I really think they should bring this show to Universal Studios Hollywood for FFN. It would fit perfectly in DWT. So so so so good.

Wishing you a great trip in USJ @saint.piss, did you get the chance to go into Jaws?

Rode Jaws twice yesterday. On my last visit (February 2024) I rode it 5 times. I'm going back to the park today to hopefully do DKC and ride Mine Cart Madness and I'll probably do a few more rides on Jaws before we leave. The single rider for Jaws is incredible and is only a 3-5 minute wait usually compared to the 40-60 minute standby line. It was packed yesterday

Does this show utilize the fog effect and seat drop from T2?

Here's my photos from my trip last week! I went two days (01-20-25 to 01-21-25).

Just to comment on some things: the food. While I was at the park I tried the two Mario and Luigi pancake sandwiches, ate at Amity Landing and got one of my favorite snacks at SNW: The Green Shell Calzone Filled with Yakisoba & Cheese. Those pancake sandwiches... so damn good. I hope they sell them at our SNW here in Florida when Epic opens but I doubt it. The one in Hollywood doesn't sell them for whatever reason so I doubt Florida will. My favorite was definitely the Luigi one (it has cheesecake flavoring inside) but I really enjoyed both. As for Amity Landing, what an adorable and quaint restaurant. Does it have the greatest food ever? No. But it's good! I got the fried chicken meal and the cream Swiss roll cake. The chicken was really greasy but delicious imo. I ate on the upper level of the restaurant and it was a really nice view. Easily could've sat there for hours. Also curious about what the Yoshi's Snack Island stand at Epic will sell, because the snacks there are very catered to Japan and aren't things we will most likely get here in Florida. Unfortunately. That little calzone is amazing.

Second and lastly: the shows. While I was there I saw: Universal Monster Live Rock & Roll Show, Detective Conan 4-D Live Show: Jewel Under the Starry Sky and Sesame Street 4-D Movie Magic™. I had seen the Sing! show when I went to the park last year already so we skipped that one. My favorite show ended up being Detective Conan (read my earlier post about it on this page) but I really enjoyed the other two still. I didn't realize till yesterday that the Universal Monster show at USJ is the same thing that Florida had years ago aka Beetlejuices Graveyard Revue. It was a really entertaining show and so fun. What a shame Florida lost it for SUPERCHARGED. BOOOOOOOO lol. The Sesame Street movie show felt a lot like Universal's version of Muppet Vision. Though since it wasn't in English I had no idea what was going on

My ranking of the USJ shows
1. Detective Conan
2. Sing!
3. Universal Monsters Rock and Roll
4. Sesame Street

@saint.piss Do you have a favorite of the Disney/Universal Japan parks. Seems like Universal Japan has a lot of real good attractions, but doesn't come close to the beauty and ride/attraction variety of either of the two Tokyo Japan Disney parks. That ugly industrial neighborhood seems to detract from Universal Japan.
