Godzilla the Ride
I was watching Godzilla x kong the new empire movie the other day and I started to wonder if there is a Godzilla ride.
And Yes there is: but nowhere near Us in the US.
Seibuen Amusement Park in Tokorozawa City, Saitama, Japan.
I watched this attraction on YouTube and it looks Great kinda like Soring - A big screen motion ride.
Then I started to wonder if some Orlando park would someday get an adaptation of this or even an original Godzilla attraction. (Yes I know UO had Kong).
Maybe some Godzilla IP - hahahahaahahah.
Has anyone been on it or even heard of this ride?

I just want to make sure I am tracking this correctly. I mean, within the context that TPI is a community and not a let loose, hodgepodge of anarchic commentary. A couple of topics ago, Rob P is griping and questioning the artistic, or creative, or whatever reasoning behind the pursuit of IP as the focus of theme park land/attraction development.
And two seconds later Brian Emery is saying "Hey guys! We should consider a Godzilla ride!"
"I'll take WTF for a thousand, Ken"
Wow TH Just Hit the daily double - Today it is a Video Daily Double...
Bob Iger doing the narration... HAHAHAHAHA
"Back in 1967 which NON IP ride did Disneyland create that later became a Movie franchise"?
I believe that Legendary retains the U.S. rights to the character, and they are in bed with Paramount at the moment, so there's negotiating a potentially messy licensing deal in the way of any Universal theme park attraction.
Beyond that, I think we are moving beyond the era of Universal needing to license IP to fill a park. Disney is long past that. So unless we are talking Lego Godzilla here (an idea that I now fully subscribe to), I don't see this happening anytime soon.
Godzilla 2014 takes place in San Francisco. Universal Studios Florida is about to close their only ride in the San Francisco section of the park.
The opportunity is there…
