Space Fantasy The Ride Attraction Audio Music Score Universal Studios Japan

Описание: Space Fantasy – The Ride (スペース・ファンタジー・ザ・ライド,, Supēsu fantajī za raido) is a spinning roller coaster at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, Japan. The ride opened on March 18, 2010, as a replacement for the E.T. Adventure dark ride. The ride is themed to a journey through space and features an array of special effects and immersive theming including interactive projection screens, on-board audio, lasers, and fiber optics.

In March 2009, Universal Studios Japan announced that they would be closing E.T. Adventure on May 10, 2009. Following the ride's closure in May, the ride system was removed with Universal Studios Japan temporarily reopening the attraction as a walkthrough attraction for five days from July 18, 2009.

On September 14, 2009, the park announced a new indoor ride would open in 2010, replacing in E.T. Adventure. Although Universal Studios Japan did not announce full details of the attraction, they did state it would be space-themed and measure 585 meters (1,919 ft) long. Less than one month later, the park announced their new ride's name would be Space Fantasy – The Ride. In December 2009, Universal Studios Japan stated the ride was scheduled to open on March 18, 2010. On March 18, 2010, Space Fantasy – The Ride officially opened to the public.

Space Fantasy – The Ride is a spinning roller coaster manufactured by Mack Rides, a German amusement ride manufacturer. The ride was custom-built so it could fit within the existing show building, formerly used for the E.T. Adventure ride.

The 585-meter-long (1,919 ft) ride is enclosed in a show building 19 metres (62 ft) high with a floor area measuring 72 by 89 meters (236 by 292 ft). The ride features three friction wheel-powered lift hills which take the ride to its maximum height of 7 meters (23 ft). Space Fantasy – The Ride reaches a top speed of 11 meters per second (36 ft/s) over the course of its 275-second ride. The trains are themed as solar shuttles.

As Universal Studios Japan is the busiest non-Disney park in the world, Space Fantasy – The Ride features nineteen 8-person trains catering for an hourly capacity of 1920 riders. Each train features a pair of four-seater cars. Riders are grouped in pairs and sit back-to-back on the round vehicles. The trains are fitted with on-board speakers which provide a soundtrack throughout the roller coaster ride, as well as monitors which display various items relevant to the ride's theme and storyline. Riders must be at least 122 centimeters (48 in) tall to ride alone or 102 centimeters (40 in) tall if accompanied by an adult.

As the name suggests, Space Fantasy – The Ride, is themed as a journey through space. Riders begin their journey on planet Earth with the objective of restoring life to the sun by collecting stardust. Their journey takes them past many planets including Saturn and Mercury, as well as past voids, stars, nebulae, and comets. To help develop this theme, Universal Studios Japan contracted American-based interactive technology firm GestureTek. GestureTek's 3D camera tracking technology and multi-touch technology were employed to recognize the gestures of guests both in the queue and onboard the ride.

Riders enter the queue for Space Fantasy – The Ride from the Hollywood section of Universal Studios Japan. As part of the ride's theme, the queue features an 85-foot-long (26 m) wall which is able to recognize the movements of up 132 hands-on 66 guests without them physically having to touch the wall. The wall is powered by 22 3D cameras and 13 projectors connected to an array of 16 quad-core computers. Space Fantasy – The Ride features separate queues for single riders and holders of Universal Express Passes, as well as offering "child switch" where one parent can experience the ride while the other parent looks after their child before switching their roles.
