Our tips:

Hollywood Dream - The Ride
Hollywood Dream - The Ride is a roller coaster that feels as if you are flying through the air. Universal Studios Japan developed it together with one of the world's biggest roller coaster manufacturers. What makes it special: you choose the music for your ride yourself.
The concept
Japanese engineers worked on making the ride as smooth as possible, with as little rattling and vibration as possible. The seats have been raised a little, so your feet do not touch the floor. That makes it feel even more like flying.
The Experience
The ride starts with a first drop of 43 metres. Then come the "horseshoe", an acrobatic turn in which you tilt, the "camel back" with moments of weightlessness and the "double helix" with strong g-forces. Meanwhile, you hear the song you chose from the headrest. A ride lasts about three minutes.

Choose your song
You choose a song from five tracks. The music comes from speakers in your headrest.
Leave your belongings behind
Loose items go in a locker. There is a check with a metal detector.
Try it backwards too
Dare to do more? Backdrop, the backwards version, runs on the same track.
Visitor information
The minimum height is 1.32 metres, also with a companion. Loose items are not allowed on the train. There are lockers by the attraction and you walk through a metal detector. There is a single rider queue. With a Universal Express Pass (sold separately) you skip the regular queue if this attraction is on your pass. A train seats 36 people, in nine rows of four.
A party on the track
Until 30 March 2027 inclusive, the selection includes a special anniversary song for the park's 25th anniversary (the list may change). That way every ride is different.
