Universal Studios Osaka
May 14, 2009
So if Disneyland is the happiest place on earth Universal Studios I’d say is in the top 5 if not for just one reason: walking in. I put up a youtube of the music that plays when you walk in because it would be too hard to describe, the best I can describe it, it makes you feel like you just made it haha. I swear they do it just to bring out your inner 10 year old and it works. Its pretty much amazing. This vid is just of the front outside the main gate where theres a big revolving Universal sign (I didn’t make it), but you get a chance to hear the music and see what I mean about the 10 year old thing.
Universal Studios entry.
Peanuts!
The amazing Universal Studios store.
Pirate ships and Wigwams for the set of the Peter Pan Musical they play on a lake every day.
Fairy dome and sets for Peter Pan show.
Entire shop dedicated to Hello Kitty. At certain times of the day here she even hosts weddings!
Outside of the Jaws ride shark eats famiy of four.
Jaws ride. It takes you on a loop around as a guided tour of the "town" (we couldn't understand what was happening or being said of course). The shark attacks your tour boat and your "guide" eventually blows it away with a shot gun haha, fire was also involved (obviously).
The town of Amity, the set around the Jaws ride.
Ah the memories come flooding back.
"Oh my God. Do you know what this is? This is a dinosaur egg. The dinosaurs are breeding"
Oh the ride....second ride of the day. It takes on a tour through the dinosaur park, before you take a wrong turn into a private research buding were of course, the raptors have escaped. Next thing you know theres a 20ft + t-rex standing in front of you. Then this happens.....
Spewin.
Domestic.
Hahaha awwww.
Back to the Future!
The Delorian the number plate says "outatime".
The Hollywood Dream ride. The last ride of the day. You sit in these couches and get to pick one of 5 songs to listen to while it takes you around and over the top of the whole park. We listened to "Lose Yourself" by Eminem haha.
