Sirk TV Spotlight: UNIVERSAL STUDIOS JAPAN [Osaka, Japan]

Have you ever wondered what it's like flying in the air like a pterodactyl? Have you ever wanted to see the most technologically advanced rides ever created? Then come to Universal Studios Japan located in Osaka! This is surely one of the most advanced theme parks this traveler has ever seen. It even has a full scale Mario Land with exclusive rides such as Donkey Kong which jumps tracks! 

The food is also not to miss. In Jurassic Park Land, there is a variety of exclusive food that can't be found anywhere else. My favorite item was the T-Rex burger which was massive filled with a whole bloomed onion and a lot of protein. 

Something that was very ground breaking was “The Flying Dinosaur” ride, which also can only be found in Japan! This was by far the most extreme ride this reviewer has ever ridden. It truly makes one feel like they are flying. At the beginning of the ride, it turns you horizontal! 

Not only did Universal Japan have some of the coolest rides but they also had so many more unique theme parks inside the park! There was a very kid oriented land that I will be sure to bring my future children to which is called Wonderland. It even includes Hello Kitty, Sesame Street, and Snoopy! There was also a huge indoor playground with its own smaller rides like a boat ride for children.

There is also an attraction called the “Hollywood Dream Ride” which was equally as cool as Flying Dinosaur. This is a thriller roller coaster located in the Hollywood section of the park. Not too far away, there was also a very unique ride called the “Space Fantasy Ride”. It is a spectacular ride where you are flying in a spaceship through space, asteroid fields, star clusters and comets.

Overall, this Universal Studios is by far the most unique and creative park I have ever seen and it is 100% worth the trip to Osaka. No matter where you are in the world, it is only a plane ticket away from becoming your reality and your own personal experience.
