Universal Studios-Japan

[SanFranciscan]

I just learned tonight that there is a Universal Studios in Japan. I don't read Japanese though so following the link did not yield any useful information to me. Has anyone here been to the Universal Studios in Japan? If so, what did you think of it? What was different about it compared to the U.S. parks? What was the same?

I've been to it back in 2003 and just went to Universal in Orlando in May for the first time. There were a lot of similarities and the attractions were pretty close to the same. The big ones anyway. It was just as good as the Orlando park imo.

Thank you for the link Corgi Monster. I couldn't get a sound on it, but the visual was very interesting. I was surprised to see Peter Pan listed among the attractions of Universal since I thought that Peter was a Disney thing and curious about Wicked. Wicked is shown as not advised for people with respiratory problems, seizures, etc. Am I misunderstanding that this is not just a show? Is it a ride simulator? I take it that this is not just a version of the musical?
