    Thanks for rubbing it in my face, Mudan. Went there mostly for the Super Nintendo World, queued up and didn't realise you need to book a time slot. The available time was 7 hours away.. I explored the park in my defeated mood and left. Came back to my hotel and cried. Lmao

    • @jama211
      @jama211 Месяц назад +8

      Yeah. To anyone else reading this to avoid this fate, get the app, get in early, and as soon as you're in scan your entry ticket into the app then book a time slot in mario world.

      While I feel sorry for you, You should have known that the more Popular attractions in Japan will need extra attention in terms of entry. Also always good to look up information beforehand. Even themed cafe's you need to secure a spot to visit them. Japan LOVES lotteries and booking things in.

      If it make you feel better I saw a lots of big RUclipsr vlog who are in the same situation like you. They end up walking around for 5-7hrs and then only went in for one hour. Gotta grind for the footage I guess. One of them are Alpharad/JadenAnimation. So it's okay, it's your first time in foreign land. Don't feel too bad.

      Same thing happened to me first time I went. The only reason I went to Universal was to go in Super Mario land and didn't get in. I got on maybe 2 or 3 rides and just went back to Tokyo.

    Fun fact about the 5 minute wait time ride: You need to collect 3 keys from 3 other activities to do the 5 minute wait time ride, but the wait time for the 3 keys is 3 separate 20 - 45 min lines. They essentially created lines to get into the line. The activities were kinda fun though.

    Man, I have so many youtube videos in a backlog but I just can't resist watching Mudan daily vlogs. They are too comfy.
    Also I don't get how you are able to afford any of this, seems way too expensive.

  • @Kriss_941
    @Kriss_941 Месяц назад +6

    Universal is cool, but I think it also depends alot on when you go there as some rides etc. are seasonal. For example when I went they had a Demon Slayer Ride where you went on a roller coaster with a VR headset strapped to your head and it was basically you on the "Mugen Train" synced up to the actual rollercoaster with Rengoku and the rest fighting and stuff. Then they also had a Monster Hunter World Iceborne VR experience which was really cool. You got a full backpack, VR equipment, picked your weapon and basically went out to hunt a Barioth with a squad of 4. Fully immersed in VR and walking around, best VR experience I've had and as a Monster Hunter fan it was one of the highlights of the park.

    the harry potter ride inside hogwarts is a mess at the osaka Universal studios. the whole point of the ride is to wander through the school while waiting however osaka you wait outside the school and are rushed through the actual school. like if you stop to look at anything the staff tells you to move forward. so you miss the entire plot of the ride and any immersion part of the ride. I was totally let down. we literally were in the school for under 5 minutes and had staff rushing us along the whole time.

    When we went in the fall of 2015 we did Universal Studios (it was late November and Christmas decorations were everywhere - the big shark had a wreath around its neck) then returned to Tokyo. We had a hotel in Chiba right by the Disney Parks so day 1 was Disney Land, day 2 was Disney Sea. Yeah, they were expensive, but it was kind of a once in a lifetime trip. I enjoyed all three!

  • @KKnLiz
    @KKnLiz Месяц назад +1

    I haven't been to USJ since I lived in Osaka in 2017 and it was much cheaper back then! I remember it being around 60-65 USD for a day pass. This was before Nintendo World and most of the anime exhibitions of course. Food was still a bit pricey but cheaper than in the US. HP World is definitely the highlight of the park and the castle ride is really fun! The nighttime stuff they do for Halloween is really cool as well! They had zombie flash mobs with choreographed dances every so often just in the streets. Very fun experience overall but at the current prices I wouldn't go unless I lived locally and it was a special occasion. Absolute bonkers pricing.

    • @HolyDoomfish
      @HolyDoomfish Месяц назад +1

      I went in 2017 as well when we spent some time in Osaka and I share your sentiment. I don't remember it being so overly expensive! All bigger theme parks are kinda pricey but back then USJ was affordable enough that our group even got a few of the fast passes and also quite a bit of the special merch. Unfortunately, we couldn't get onto the Jurassic Park ride but they had some special Evangelion, Attack on Titan and Monster Hunter stuff going on which we enjoyed a lot. We also saved on food by bringing our own. lol

      @@ginginc In Ghibli Park, only in specific areas like the Ghibli food gallery and the theater. Most of Ghibli Park is a photo op with long queues (e.g. have a photo with No-Face on the train! Have a photo inside the catbus!) with a gift shop at the end. And that's why it's not really worth it. Way too far from Nagoya city center and you need to reserve on a specific date 3 months in advance. Even as a huge Ghibli fan I regretted going there haha.

    Left the park early afternoon, found a banging restaurant hidden in the complex outside the front gate.

    Like 10 years ago I used to work food service at Universal in California, it was pretty awful and I used most of my shitty wage just on gas getting to and from the park. The newer sections of the California park (Harry Potter, and now I guess Super Mario World though personally I haven't been since they opened it) are much more entertaining with better rides and food than most of the older sections, but the set pieces and the film lot tour are pretty cool. Much too expensive for the price they charge though, its basically as much as Disneyland/California Adventure now for a much more meh experience. Though with Universal, you're near Hollywood and I think you can even take the metro there now.

Was it worth it... for me yeah cuz i fit all the rides. For my boyfriend, not so much cuz he couldn't fit in half of them.

    wondering why driving in since there is a train that stops pretty much right by the park?
    also tip for future USJ travellers get there early at park open if you can and predownload the USJ app. Got there at 8:30am on a weekday and gates were opened and was able to select a time slot for Nintendo World for around 10am. Reason why is it is a very small space and with so much interest they need to stagger and limit people so it does not become overcrowded in there.

    But like.. transport...
    From Tokyo round trip: Plane ticket: 5000-10000 yen or Bus ticket: Prolly around 4000-5000 yen or you can get a bus pass for more but go more places on the way

    I seriously think mudan is very rich, treating theme park that people might go few times in their life time as a day trip. going into universal studio at 3 in the afternoon (just like what he did with disneysea!) is a luxury for most of us, you missed 6 hours that you can use to ride like almost all of the rides there that you like.
    you definitely missed chucky haunted house *oh yeah, it is halloween horror night in USJ right now, and it is included in your admission ticket. but this year they only do 1 haunted house and few shows (I am not gonna say chainsaw man as haunted houses). when I was in 2018, it was like 3 haunted houses and 1 show.
