The Flying Dinosaur
The Flying Dinosaur is the most intense roller coaster at Universal Studios Japan. A runaway pteranodon grabs you from behind and drags you into the air. There is nothing but air between you and the ground.
The concept
Universal Studios Japan calls the ride an incredibly long, latest-generation flying coaster. You hang face down, like a bird in flight. The pteranodons, rulers of the skies, carry you over the world of Jurassic Park.
The Experience
The train rotates 360 degrees and shoots off in all directions at high speed, just as the dinosaur's wild instinct dictates. You feel the wind from head to toe. The unimaginable climbs and drops make this ride a real experience. A ride lasts about three minutes.
Discover The Flying Dinosaur
Empty your pockets
Loose items are not allowed on the ride. Use the lockers; there is a check with a metal detector.
Note the height requirements
You must be between 1.32 and 1.98 metres tall. That also applies with a companion.
Choose the single rider queue
The Flying Dinosaur is popular. Via the single rider queue you often wait less.
Visitor information
You must be between 1.32 and 1.98 metres tall, even if you go 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. Afterwards you can buy your photo at The Flying Dinosaur Photo.
For true daredevils
The Flying Dinosaur is not for the hesitant, but it is one of the most remarkable roller coasters in Japan. Come early in the day or use the single rider queue to keep long waits to a minimum.
