Universal Studios Japan Attractions
Jan 7th, 2010 by Dean

If it were not for Snoopy, and the Mos Burger and Ganko Sushi eateries along the road from the JR Universal City Station, visitors to Universal lofts Japan might assume they had stepped out train of the onto the back lot of Universal Studios in Florida or Hollywood. 

Universal studios Japan Attractions

The similarities between the parks are striking, with the same shark roaring out of the water at Amity pond, the same cycle trip across the moon in the ET adventure, the same Jurassic Park T-Rex chasing pathetic small rafts over a 25 foot waterfall, and of course, the same amazing adventures of Spiderman complete with a moving Statue of freedom head. 

The Water World stunt show is there to give visitors a taste of life on the planet post-global warming, and Shrek 4-D is there to let visitors enjoy having the sensation of donkey expectorating in their faces and unseen creatures crawling all around them.  Mist sprayers in the seats and moveable rubber tubes are the genuine culprits. 

The theme park experience totally unique to Universal apartments Japan is its Snoopy Studio.  The Japanese people are hooked on cute, and the Peanuts gang takes lovable to the nth degree.  Snoopy even has his own rollercoaster journey,’Snoopy’s Great Race.’

Visitors to Universal apartments Japan, particularly during school holidays, are suggested to arrive early and pay more for an Express Pass pamphlet, that may entitle them to go to the head of the line for either four or seven of the most popular rides or attractions–ET the adventure ; Terminator2 3-D ; Jurassic Park the Ride ; Hollywood Dream the Ride ; Back to the Future the Ride ; Jaws ; and the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman.  On top days the waits for a number of these rides can approach 3 hours, and the Express Passes sell out fast.
