Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

I bought one of those Snoopy hats that you can control the ears with. During the parade, Snoopy pointed at me from the top of the Peanuts float, pointed back at himself and put his hands on his face.

I’m still chasing that high.

FYI, the first song is an overly popular song in Osaka where it seems every women seems to know the lyrics to it (from what i saw at the Karaoke bars) as well as a popular track on the hollywood dream

effective marketing

So now that DKC finally has an opening date, below is the forward looking timeline for USJ based on insider intel:

Dec. 11, 2024 - Donkey Kong Country
early 2025 - Jurassic Park returns from major refurb
2025 - Backdraft replacement (rumored Villain Con)
2026 - Spider-Man replacement (rumored Pokemon)

One would hope, the park desperately needs additional capacity.

I was at the park today and wandering around the park entrance gift shops when all of a sudden...I look at the park entrance gates and there's a mob of hundreds of people waiting at the side turnstiles. They let them all in at 3PM and it was like another morning rush of guests!

Turns out they sell a heavily discounted 3PM which equate to roughly $25 USD. The park was feeling quiet moments before 3PM, too. It seems like USJ wants to keep the park constantly busy and isn't worried about capacity like we are.

There is the twilight pass and the 1.5 day tickets. Most of those are 1.5 day ticket holders who arrive that day and will do a full day the next day.

Saw the Nintendo Direct video about the opening of Donkey Kong land and found out the CEO of the park is a Dutch guy. Very smart Universal did put a Dutch person in that position.
