Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

Announced today that Detective Conan is coming to Cool Japan next year.

The rumor I heard was that Conan would be filling the T2:3D space temporarily, so I wonder if that's where this is going.

I could be wrong, but this seems to be the first Blumhouse representation to land at USJ (CityWalk)

Blumhouse photobooth appearing for a limited time

I bet they are doing the Escape Room again since that always ends up being a huge draw.


But bigger news is My Hero Academia is coming to USJ for the first time!

Very interesting, The Pokemon Company announced today that it will build a Pokemon land at Yomiuriland (amusement park in Tokyo suburbs)

Hmm....

Based on what information is available, this seems to be more of an actual park/experience, as opposed to a proper theme park land or attraction. I don't think it would interfere with anything Universal would do in the future.

Question: is the Spider-Man queue the same as FL? I can’t seem to find a video of it.

For whatever reason USJ appears to be much more strict in regards to filming on attractions. I would guess it's very close to IOA except Japan has a dual loading station vs the single one in Orlando.

 

[Galactus]

Pretty similar, yes. It has a similar bullpen room, a similar Scoop/movie room, similar darkroom room. The only major difference is the split loading setup which has a second level as far as I remember? I never went up to the second floor so not sure what was there!

Just a few pictures I took this summer. Some similarities, but it felt different too

Its not different than One Piece also being in other parks as well as Hello Kitty.

Always so amazed to see the similarities and differences between USJ and USF. This is an amazing overview video:

It's not as shockingly different of a visit like DisneySea if you're used to the US counterpart for sure. I like the New York and SF areas at USF better, but I like everything else more that's shared/similar at USJ.

It's a real shame. As a local, I used to go at least once a year. But now it feels like going to USJ anytime before 2025 is completely pointless. Haven't been since Oct. 2022.

Yeah, the park just doesn’t have the requisite capacity given how many people are packed in every day.

One of the three new replaced attractions (Terminator, Backdraft, Spider-Man) has been officially announced.

Detective Conan is the permanent replacement for T2. It will still be a theater show.

Opening spring 2024.

This rules so hard. Also, is this the first case of an anime property getting a permanent attraction at a Universal park?

If you had asked me what would be the first permanent Anime attraction for a Universal park, I probably wouldn't of said Detective Conan.
