GLAD TO SEE YOU 2 ENJOYING LIFE TOGETHER NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING SOMEONE BY YOUR SIDE DURING LIFES ADVENTURES
actually really envious of them, love them
Thank you so much!
WHY ARE YOU YELLING? 😂
Did your caps lock button get stuck?
I can't unsee the Waterworld FX laying waste to Super Nintendo World.🔥🍄🔥
😂
I believe those biscuits boxes are for people to bring back to share with work colleagues/friends
Love that!
I have been binge watching your channel for three days! You guys are one of the most entertaining and enjoyable theme park channels on TH-cam!
Its my fav
TPW are very good at showing you best ways to get value for money.
Thank you so much. We really appreciate your kind words!
Do you have any other favorites? I’d love learn about similar channels
@@Tinyvalkyrie410 coaster studios and El Toro Ryan are good!
Water World with the skyline as Super Nintendo land is halarious
It did make me laugh 🤣
The way I can see them fitting Pokémon into that area of the park is if they themed it around Detective Pikachu and Ryme City
Possibly so! Looking forward to seeing what happens!
I’ve always been a massive fan of Nintendo. So seeing the Nintendo world made into a theme park is just unbelievable for me. Thanks for the great vlog ❤️
It’s such a great area. Loved it!
Was killing time waiting for this to drop!
Hope you enjoyed it 🤩
@@ThemeParkWorldwide of course!
Detective Conan is known as case closed in the west. It’s just a detective animated series. It’s been around since the 80s but rebooted a few times. It’s ok just it tries to do Sherlock Holmes when it’s not.
Thanks for sharing!
Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Universal Studios Japan Day Two Vlog, keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😃😎👍👍
Great day two vlog of Universal Studios Japan 👍👍😃😃
Thank you!
The reason you don’t see cupcakes and pastries everywhere is because Japan tends not to have the culture of eating on the fly. They always make time to sit down and actually eat a proper meal. Eating while walking is seen as not proper and a massive mistake. Cupcakes do exist in Japan just they like different flavors that aren’t really western. Usually its flavors like chestnut or matcha, very subtle flavors yet last a while.
There’s plenty of other convenience food in Japan that can be eaten on the go, so I don’t think it’s anything to do with that.
It’s simply a cultural preference to have other types of sweets/snacks.
Thanks for sharing! I do love seeing the differences in culture at theme parks around the world. Definitely miss having a muffin though!
@@ThemeParkWorldwidestay in the UK then 😂
@@ObsessiveGeekthey tend to buy convince store food to take work or sit down and eat tho! Rion ishida channel often shows him buying onigiri but taking it to a park to sit and eat it! They don’t eat whilst walking around
Loved all the videos guys big love 😊😊
Thank you!
388k subscribers congratulations and 111 subscribers on your both channels
Thank you so much!
Great video , im enjoying the vlogs , that monster show was weird i wouldnt class i will survive abd livin vida loca as rock songs lol
Thank you. It was very strange, but we enjoyed it 🤣
Shawn, the commitment and dedication you have is nothing short of astounding! I think if it’s not included on your current Japan itinerary, it would be so cool to visit Toei Kyoto Studio Park one day! It’s a popular studio park owned and operated by Toei, the company behind tokusatsu classics such as Super Sentai, which is well known for being the source material for Power Rangers, and Kamen Rider.
Thank you so much, would love to visit at some point!
Glad you got to make it to Osaka. I've been to that park 3 times. 2013, 2019 and 2023. Sad Spiderman closed. That 4D show was in the old T2-3D building.
Amazing video thank you
Thanks for watching!
Awesome Video Guys 😄😄
Jaws the ride looks amazing cool amazing video. 👍🙂
It looks great. It’s a shame that we missed it this trip!
Love to see you both living life. 👍
Thank you for joining us!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide Anytime guys.
Awesome 😎
Totally agree about the lack of rides. I will say one thing. This is the best universal for little kids. I have a 3 and 6 year old and they loved that family area, minions and Harry Potter. We spent hours in the Sesame Street indoor play area. Compared to Hollywood this is a win for the little ones.
The family area was great!
Shawn breaking the kids area 🤣🤣🤣🤣you were having fun 😇😇🤪
We always have a good laugh 🤣
fantastic video
Thanks!
Happy Easter! I'm not a stickler for sight lines, but seeing Super Nintendo behind Waterworld is hilarious.
I wasn’t a fan of the layout of this park at all sadly
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I feel you. Definitely doesn't help having so many attractions closed.
What a vlog🎉
Thank you!
The Hello Kitty cupcake ride ia so gorgeous
I'm happy you enjoyed Hollywood Dream! From other vloggers I had heard it was pretty average, but it's always intrigued me
It’s a great ride. Loved it backwards!
Fantastic vlog 😁
Thanks!
I love the chocolate frogs too! Very good quality 23:45
Omg I love you guys, in your next video can you pls do a shout out!
You and Charlotte are such a funny and cute couple. Charlotte exceeds my expectations with water rides!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for your support!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide omg thank you so much! You guys are amazing! Do you have any plans for any more Paultons park trips yet?
omg this accoiunt brings back so many memories i was obsessed when i was younger 😭
Hey great video guys! Glad you both enjoyed your Japan trip!
At 4:19 in the video sorry, just to clarify the amazing adventures of spider-man ride actually closed the beginning of 2024 in January!
I was actually there the week it was closing, I was so lucky to get to go to Japan it was so busy and they were also selling exclusive final merch from the ride!
Unfortunately, they removed the ride due to Disney owning the rights to Marvel! The Florida ride however is a different situation so it won’t be removed. Disney in Tokyo is now slowly adding Marvel to their parks!
It’ll be interesting to see what happens, such a huge amount of dead space at this park!
That monsters show looks cool! Wish they had that in Florida.
It was great to see!
When you say "The best flying coaster" Does that include F.L.Y or is that out of just the B&M ones
I’d say just out of the B&M flyers!
Really great vlog and appreciate your honesty and balanced view on the park because it is fun in places but there are many missed opportunities from Universal. I got a chance to visit the park last November and rode Jaws, Jurassic park and Spiderman and they were all fantastic. Also not sure if I missed it in the vlog but the Detective Conan ride is where T2 Battle Across Time was, a real shame they removed that, back in November they still had all the signage and you could see the Robots inside. Totally agree about that section of the park, was bare even back in November when they had Spiderman there. Also agree on the Super Nintendo part, was very disappointing and really driven towards kids and you don't need those wrist bands. I found the staff taking photos to be very rude if you didn't buy a photo which is something to note but staff were generally very friendly and smiley around the park. Definitely need 2 days for this park, can't be done in a day and you were lucky on the queues, when I was there the queuing times at 70 minutes were accurate. When you guys come to Shanghai guys hit me up, I am a Brit living here and know Disneyland well. Really love the content, big fan guys! Get out there and keep on riding!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We really appreciate it!
it would be really cool if Universal Studios UK would do a waterworld show
Love Waterworld!
Space Fantasy hasn't been closed for a year, we went on it a few weeks ago, it just gets rethemed to various animes, it was Demon Slayer when we went on it and it was the most popular ride in the park.
I guess that theme has just ended and they're preparing whatever is next for the Halloween season.
The Beetlejuice rock show used to be at Universal Studios in Florida and California call Beetlejuice graveyard review in the spinning roller coaster I heard is always theme to to a different anime every year and the snoopy studio was big indoor area. What a roller coaster so I don’t know why it’s closed.
What an odd park lol !!! The Monster Show is what they used to have in Orlando and it was where Hogwarts Express station is now !! Obviously it was better there as the actor who played Beetlejuice was amazing
It wasn’t our favourite at all, but good to see it for the first time!
Aww love snoopy, do you think they have Easter at a different time of year? That odd isn’t it ❤
It’s at the same time, just an extended event it seems!
Another awesome vlog ❤
It was a hot one today here in 🇬🇧 it reached 28-29° 🔥
Thanks for joining us!
The Space Fantasy coaster (the indoor spinning ride) is usually the host to their Cool Japan theming, which they do 6 months out of the year. They usually convert that coaster to a VR of a popular Japanese anime. Until recently it was hosting Demon Slayer, and they're about to reopen with a more recent season of Demon Slayer in July. It has done many other themes such as Attack on Titan, Doraemon, and the ring (which was my personal favourite). I think it was only closed throughout the month of June so it must have just been bad timing.
The same with Detective Conan, I believe its closing again at the end of this month. As much as I would like the attractions to stay as a staple throughout the year, especially Space Fantasy as its my favourite, I understand the huge popularity these limited time attractions achieve, and I guess it is something unique to Japan.
Thanks for sharing! Hopefully it’ll be back in action again soon, as that whole area of the park is massively lacking attractions!
It's amazing just how much of going around Super Nintendo World is treated like playing an actual game. If you're there for long enough to make the most out of using the wristband, they allow you to fully experience every little nook and cranny of the area. It will track your scores on the MarioKart ride and whether you find any of its very well-hidden secrets, you can gather coins throughout the day from the ? blocks and work your way up a daily leaderboard, and get stamps for achieving mini tasks within the area and even visiting at different times of the year. People are genuinely out here trying to 'complete' Super Nintendo World which is fascinating to see. And I agree wholeheartedly that it is a simply wonderfully themed area. Going around Nintendo World & all of USJ on the regular as a single guest and utilising the single rider queues where possible is a great way to kill a day. I'm aiming to check out the new Donkey Kong Country area as soon as I am able to and can't wait!
That’s awesome! It’s a great area with so much colour and movement around every corner!
The Cupcake ride - Fancy one now 26:28
It looks like Beetlejuice graveyard rock show that use to play at HHNs long time ago at the USA parks
Loving the animatronic Venus Flytraps 41:06
The thing I'm missing most about Universal are the velociraptor characters in Jurassic Park/World.
They may have been designed to be mostly scary at the parks, but they really open their softer side when you show you're not afraid of them. I remember seeing a video at Universal Japan where one of the velociraptors acted really sassy to a guest, opening her mouth as if she was about to bite a few times, then she snuggled up to the guest.
Here's hoping they'll have a Jurassic Park/World at Universal Great Britain.
Thanks for sharing!
We all ❤ toad here too 🍄
Super vlog 👍🏻
Love toad so much!
Great video as always guys! I'm visiting in September and you've made me very nervous about Flying Dinosaur now!
Do you have any update on Donkey Kong and if it will be open by then?
Btw looks like Space Fantasy (the spinning coaster) is closed for VR re-theming and re-opens in July.
Thank you! They’ve said later in the year so it’s hard to say at the moment. Have a great time!
I love Grus house 😅 it looks very Nicely themed
It’s great!
Let’s hope if the UK proposal goes ahead we get a better ride offering (and no flying coaster!).
I think that Universal Studios UK or Hollywood should have an Aliens movie themed area, what do you think
One of my biggest pet peeves is when theme parks play music with vocals outdoors. I kind of expected better from Universal.
Also, it’s absolutely insane that they refuse re-entry. Maybe the employee misunderstood you somehow
There’s some strange things at this park. They clearly state no re-entry on the announcements too, crazy!
That was a great impression of Woody Woodpecker.
Snoopy studios might have been the old Nickelodeon studios of Japan. I see the familiar structure there. Orlando changed to blue man group but it now sits empty although most of the old nick stuff is still inside. I believe an editing company uses it now for storage. I don’t mean like empty in stuff by the way, I mean empty as in people as nobody ever goes in there that I know. Nick had a presence in Japan mostly as a dubbing company that changed over voice audio to Japanese. They changed nothing else.
Possibly so, the family area was nice!
Apparently the Tempozan-Ohashi bridge you can see opened in 1990 and Universal Studios opened in 2001.
It looks like a nice park, it’s a shame there is a couple of major attractions closed: Jaws, The Jurassic Park river adventure and Space Fantasy.
Looks like you had a great time nonetheless 👍🏻
I rode Jaws a few times in Orlando, it was a great ride.
We still had a great time and enjoyed seeing the different things!
Im so happy to see you both come to my local park! We always enjoy your vlogs, but my 3 year old loved seeing you go to her favourite place.
In the 8 years I have been living in Japan, the park has changed so much. There has been a big push on slowly fading out the more traditional, Universal Hollywood related attractions and filling it with ips. There is a lot of anime related attractions. A few week s ago there were more temporary attractions going on, but as they are getting ready for the summer season some of them are in their transition stage. Space fantasy the ride barely runs its original attraction anymore, and it usually running as a 4d coaster related to an anime. It just finished one anime overlay and is now getting ready for the next one! USJ is often filled with fans dressed up for those anime and coming for those temporary attractions and limited food and goods. Also people are fans of specific shows so will come just to support their favourite performers in the shows. However, It is so sad to see so many empty buildings, and I was gutted to lose spiderman at the start of the year. I am interested to see what they do with the park in the upcoming years though. Thank you for coming to Japan!
Thanks for sharing all of this information. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future!
Just did some research and apparently Space fantasy keeps getting temporarily shut down because they are using it as an "XR Coaster" for attractions like Demon Slayer in an attempt to have new attractions alongside the 4d theater shows every 3-6 months. It was closed to become "The Ring/Ringu: Sadako's Curse" for the Horror nights months in 2023 + a little extra time. Soon it will be a second Demon Slayer XR ride as a sequel to the one they did in Spring this year.
They just keep closing it to retheme the queue and create additions to the ride vehicles for the XR attractions it seems.
Cool concept though, a ride that changes completely about every half a year. Basically pseudo new attractions to give guests more reasons to support them while they overhaul like 1/3rd of the park.
Cheers though! Your fun vlog is getting me excited for my visit there in September!
tbh, there were a lot of rides and shows in the first 15 mins of the vids but sadly mostly either gone or doing anime collab. I think universal studio japan needs to think up of new permanent shows for those buildings.
what I remember about those buildings:
- 4d cinema is showing boku no hero no academia (my hero academia), very popular anime show in the past 10 years. they usually rotate on what anime that will do the show, last few times I visited japan I think they showed evangelion and dragon quest.
- the space fantasy also got a lot of anime collab, I went there last year and I rode the coaster with doraemon as the theme
- that detective conan show is actually Terminator 2 show. detective conan is a wildly popular anime show that is already 30 years old
- rip spiderman, I watched it last year and it was still as good as I remember
- btw, there was also a show there called backdraft fire show which is closed in 2020. I watched it in 2017, and in 2018 I went there during halloween and they put zombie overlay as one of their halloween horror night houses.
- I remember next to spiderman, they also use it for events, such as halloween event or anime event (last year is spyxfamily)
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully there’s many new additions to come to this park!
I genuinely can’t believe uve never done jaws! It was so good and scary
Never sadly! Hopefully one day!
Great video! Just wondering when you said flying dinosaur is your favourite flying coaster do you prefer it over F.L.Y at phantasialand?
The theming of FLY is spectacular so it’s hard to say! This is definitely the best B&M Flyer though!
Hi SHawn, can I ask is this park the same size as what the UK Universal will be? And what rides do you want to see here? Will you be covering more of the Universal UK when you are finally back to the UK ?
We definitely will have more updates from the UK project on the way!
1hr 10 mins shawn I think farted 😂
1:05 the Shark and Dinosaur people seem to be merchandise for The Dragon Pearl restaurant in Universal, though they fit more with Jurassic Park and Jaws imo.
These things seem to only be known as "Dinosaur/Shark Man" though it did make me think of the Jaws hat you had on in the Day One vlog so maybe this is a thing in Japan...who knows.
Thanks for sharing!
How did I not know about the hello kitty area...😅😅😅
It’s such a cute little area!
Super Nintendo World seems such a small area compared to how popular it is, claustrophobic when it’s busy. Still looks good though.
It’s very small, but very immersive!
Crazy they have river ride, Spider-Man, the spinning coaster and jaws all closed at the same time.
Unfortunately so!
The minions are so cute 13:51
I went in 2018 and almost everything was open and it was overwhelming almost how much there was to do. Shame they had so much closed.
I love the look of the Nintendo land, but the attractions in it aren’t really anything to shout about.
Definitely. The area itself is amazing!
I dont like flying but I would LOVE to go to Japan - looks AMAZING
It’s a great country!
Which Universal Studios in Asia do you think is the best? Universal Studios Singapore, Universal Studios Japan or Universal Studios Beijing?
Beijing!
I was lucky enough to be here during Halloween Horror Nights in 2023, 'Space Fantasy - The Ride' had an overlay themed to The Grudge, named Sadako’s Curse: Dark Horror Ride. Surprised it hasn't opened since as it was fantastic
That sounds great!
The former et ride is actually the only one that changes every time an anime partnership happens. It did one piece, demon slayer, even gintama. It’s probably changing its theme again.
If I had to guess it would be MHA with season 7 premiering
I wish it wouldn't keep closing and reopening for the various VR overlays - the original space theme looks good enough!
It’s very strange to keep closing a ride for re-themes, especially in a park that desperately needs capacity!
AWESOME LOOKING PARK!!!
Space Fantasy seems to have a very regular rotation of temporary VR overlays, particularly when Universal are running their 'Cool Japan' promos in the summer. Hence the reason for the covered signs etc.
When I visited in 2018, it was Final Fantasy for a few months, then Neon Genesis Evangelion straight after that. There seems to be a couple of different things every year though, and I'm not sure how often the ride is run in it's pure form now :(
It seems so. Very strange how they keep closing a ride in a park that really needs capacity!
Do they not have a multi day ticket option like Orlando
We purchased a two day ticket. No re-entry allowed though!
Hollywood Dream: The Ride
Brilliant mini hyper!
Gutted you didn’t get Space Fantasy in 😢 it’s a great ride and I was looking forward to seeing your reactions and hearing your review of it 😔
It’s such a shame it was closed
Spiderman closed because their license in Japan was over, it lasted 20 years. They closed it just the day before!
Hopefully the new attraction that replaces it opens quite soon as the park needs more capacity!
What was your best in day two vlog
Hollywood Dream The Ride is definitely our highlight of this park!
That smoke blast is from Terminator 2:3D. Seems like most of the effects/screens are just an overlay of that attraction.
It seems so!
I’ll also add, my husband is 6 ft 2 and was told he was too tall for the flight of the hippogriff and a few other kids attractions which made it hard for us.
Sorry to hear that
I believe that all the money for Universal is going to Epic Universe. I don't think they will change the outside buildings in NY just change the inside to Pokémon. Pokémon can be fit anywhere.
It’ll be interesting to see what they do!
When are you hoping to get to epic universe? You mentioned it a few times
Opening day hopefully!
No re entry policy yikes 😂 there would be a riot in Orlando if you had to pay 💰 to come back in.
I was really surprised about that
By my count, Spider-Man, JP the Ride, Space Fantasy, Jaws, and whatever special effects show that was are all closed temporarily or permanently. And the parade is gone and no nighttime show? That is WAY too many attractions for a world class theme park to have shuttered. Almost an entire day’s worth. Disappointing. Hopefully that’s remedied soon and you had bad luck timing wise. Thanks for taking us along! 🤗
Hopefully they can get this sorted out as soon as possible. Thanks for watching!
About all the biscuit boxes, in Japan, it's almost law (😉) to bring vacation gifts ("Omiyage") back to your work mates, and family and friends. It's almost rude to not bring anything. Biscuit boxes and edibles are very popular. Probably, because things don't accumulate in the house, you eat it, and it's gone! No space needed in the small houses. 🤪
That’s such a kind thing to do. Love it!
Will you be able to go to the Liverpool indoor funfair this Saturday?
We won’t be
I GOT THE 1st PIN!! 😃🥇🏆
The New York area could be transformed into a Pokemon area - as the Unova region from the fifth generation of games is based on New York itself, so little changes would have to be done to the physical theming.
Possibly so!
*books flights, usj tickets, and waits for flying dinosaur back row* 🫨
I really wanted to give it a go!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I meant I’m now desperate to give it a go after your reaction to it, it must be intense!
I know it’s another expense, but I’m surprised y’all didn’t spring for power-up bands.
It’s not really our soft of thing, however can understand why many people would like them!
Can you take the toiletries?
Yes!
Going to Universal Japan next April along with Tokyo Disneyland. Can’t wait. Love your vlogs.
Have a great time!
I find Manta the most intense ride in Florida by a landslide. Would you say the flyer ride is even more intense than Manta?
It’s way more intense than Manta!
I would choose Happy 52:51
