Universal Fan Fest Nights - Coming 2025

Is it 3D in Japan?

Because Shrek 4D was 3D in the parks, but released 2D on DVD. While Shrek was designed for 3D gimmicks, I can't see JJK being the same since it's also not the same animation style

The Cinema 4D at Osaka still uses 3D glasses IIRC.

Well tbf, it is a theme park attraction so the envrionment is a little different from watching a standard feature film or television. Its supposed to be "immersive". Text on screen might take some people out of the moment. Especially since this is also supposed to be a 3D film, so it might be extra distracting since its not in 3D.

Yeah, and even then, I don't think the quality of dubs these days shouldn't be discredited. This isn't the 90s anymore where dubs often changed a lot more of the script because they thought we wouldn't get some things at all (i.e. Pokemon and the "jelly filled donuts"), and they often do their best to keep the meaning while still remaining understandable for a western audience.

Anyways, I know everyone is different with this stuff and how well they can read subs and keep watching, but this is probably why sub and dub should rotate in time intervals; it would please both crowds and maybe add a smidge of re-rideability if someone chooses to (but perhaps that would run the risk of wait times being a bit more inflated). I didn't think the sub vs dub argument would find it's way here though.

I love the idea but I feel like would somehow mess things up

If we can't get dubs whatever but if they do Dub them, its not like Sub people wont show up

I will say even if this was dubbed. Its fine, like I'm happy it came so I got into the anime but even if Dubbed and even in 3D it would just be ok

Its a Filler anime adventure and hope we see One Piece take over WW next year. I think that would be really fun and think would work well to keep once piece around but also allow other animes to take over Fan Zone area

Looking at the footage, it [JJK] was defintely made with stereoscopicy in mind.

So overall thoughts…Fan Fest really is for FANS, and if you’re not a diehard, there’s very little here for you outside of walk on rides.

To start with the good - I adore Back to the Future, and the set dressing, shows and character meet and greets were all excellent (though the 45 min event cycle was too short in my opinion and the movie projected on the building was murky). That alone made it worth it for me, but only because I literally live and breathe the trilogy.

I also am a big Trekkie, but found the entire Red Alert attraction to be completely lackluster and sloppy.

I know basic stuff about D&D and like what I know, but I thought that whole walkthrough (save for the animatronic one eyed thing) to be a waste of time.

And finally I don’t like anime, so those things did nothing for me.

So here lies the problem. I doubt anyone is a true top 10% fan of all 5 major properties at the event. Unlike HHN, where you can still enjoy the houses and scares without knowing the movies some are based on, this event requires you to truly love what they present. Because even though it’s the first year, it does feel like HHN on a budget, but without any of the thrills.

Best comparison I can make is that outside of BttF, which benefits from having the set in the backlot, these all feel like free “activations” you would see at San Diego Comic Con. A distraction, that I’m sure some people will drool over, but most will go “oh, ok”.

So I ask myself, if they do this again next year, and BttF isn’t there and are forced to build everything from the ground up, will it even be remotely worth it? And the answer is unequivocally no, unless the crowds stay low and you can walk on rides like we did last night.

Seeing BTTF makes me wish it came back for next year but this time using the Old Western sets for BTTF 3.

A duel showdown between Marty and Mad Dog.

The festival where you can dance and get a photo-op with the clock.

The shed where Doc keeps the DeLorean.

Buford getting angry at guests when you call him Mad Dog.

Ugh, the potential this has makes me wanting more.

Okay, so I guess I have to ask some questions:

1) if you have 2pm entry, how early can you line up for the Yoshi meet and greet?

2) how many eggs are there?

3) are the different color Yoshi’s only for those who completed the egg hunt?

4) is the completion of the egg hunt line separate from the main Yoshi line?

5) where exactly is the Wicked meet and greet?

6) what food items are tasty/worth the cost?

7) what attractions close at what times?

Thank you all for your help!
