Shockwave Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It'll be a very slow Hulk seeing as it won't be launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas2 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 That first drop looks good. It isn't big, but that doesn't really matter. I love to see what effect the lifthill has with that enclosed tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hey all RCTM has had one BIG update THats one hell of a start to a ride if you ask me. even if it is quite short Any idea anyone? on-ride photo maybe? but seems an odd place for one. The veiw of the 2nd turnaround over the lake How high will the tunnel go i wonder? http://coaster.fc2web.com/special/usj/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost007jas Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Great update! From these pictures it looks like it will deliver a heck of a ride. However I am not sure if I am sold on the color scheme yet. It just seems a little bland to me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriel Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have just got news that the coaster will PROBABLY be opened at April 4, 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I really underestimated this ride, it looks awesome! There is only one thing I can say about that tiny drop right before the Over banked Turn at the far end of the course: a very large amount of airtime! Hollywood Dream: The Ride definitely shows that size does not always matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude5 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks for the update, the ride looks cool, the colors are different, but overall it looks like it's gonna be a good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStitch626 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 This is turning out to be one of the coolest coasters made by B&M I have ever seen.The tunnel reminds me of the Hulk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 a slightly older set of pics here http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/katuboke/archive/200701 but it does show beyond doubt that it had dual loading stations some nice new angles in there too although that layout drawing is deffinetly a bit off.

Satoshi Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 looks like 1st drop's not kind of supported enough and it makes me feel bit worried about if the track would be shaken or not..... but i think the drop looks really decent though.

BeemerBoy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Any word on whether this one will carry onboard audio as once rumored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 That first turn around is the most screwed up turnaround i've seen Left...Down...right...Fanturn...Up...Right and back to straight hills Its also looks choked airtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDLFAN Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Just an update on this coaster. It will officially open on March 9th, 2007 and your truly plans to be there to capture the excitement on photos and hopefully take a spin on it. You can read all about it here and preview a short musical clip of Dreams Come True's (a Japanese pop-duo) specially written song for the ride called "Osaka Lover", so be sure to click on the pink "ON" button. http://www.usj.co.jp/HDR/e_index.html I was able to manage a quick visit to Universal Studios Japan to check out the progress of the new coaster. The track soars above the main entrance of the park and above buildings in the Hollywood Blvd. area, then dips into banked turns by the park's lagoon before returning to the boarding platform. The coaster does not seem too intense... as there are no inversions or super scary drops. Some hills are there and should allow for some fun airtime, similar to DCA's Hollywood Express' track over the midway area. Kiddy stuff with an edge. One complaint though... while I welcome a decent coaster ride anywhere... the placement of this coaster ruins some of USJ's best themed facades around Hollywood Blvd. What were they thinking??? Oh well.. at least we should be in for a fun little coaster ride when it debuts in two weeks. I took these photos with my cellphone (so apologies if the quality is bad), but just wanted to show you what the ride looks like. Enjoy... http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/AlbumIndex?u=4334673&a=32455070&f= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdShiftCM Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I can't believe this thing is going to have a personal audio system for each rider! That should be interesting. Does anyone know who's handling the modifications to the trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT3000 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I already disliked the tacky Vegas roof thing, but now USJ's Hollywood section looks even dumber. I can only hope it's a good ride because they've Six Flags'd the park in order to build it. I hope UO doesn't get any bright ideas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriel Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Have you guys seen the test run? It looks cool. Can't believe I have just missed one credit in USJ!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 DCA's Hollywood Express' track over the midway area. Kiddy stuff with an edge. I think you mean California Screamin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDLFAN Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yes, I meant CA Screaming.. Thanks for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 One complaint though... while I welcome a decent coaster ride anywhere... the placement of this coaster ruins some of USJ's best themed facades around Hollywood Blvd. Thats what I kept saying.

Adriel Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 One more update... After the music, this time what makes it different is the train. The website says that the train will be filled with hundreds of LED lights so that if you see the trains at night, it will look like a shooting star passing the Hollywood area of the park.

JJemMO852 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think this ride sounds awesome! The combination of the LED lights and audio system will make for a good time. Is there theming on the lift? Because it's enclosed, which makes me think there might be a movie type of thing. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 This looks like the most Junior of the B&M Hyper coasters. The LED lights sound pretty cool and the helix looks like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
