| TPR Notes |
|
| If you were to wake up in the middle of Universal Studios Japan, you might think that you were back in the US. This is a more compact version of Universal’s Florida park, which also borrows heavily from Universal in Hollywood and Islands of Adventure—right down to the City Walk shopping-and-dining area. But despite the sense of déjà vu, Universal Japan is a lot of fun, with plenty to offer all age groups, including the unique Hollywood Dream roller coaster (one of the best in Japan) and a nice, indoor air-conditioned area for kids (Snoopy Studios). Even if you’ve been to Universal’s other parks, this is definitely worth a visit; after all, you haven’t lived until you’ve experienced Jaws in Japanese. | |
