Last May, the Seibuen Amusement Park opened "Godzilla the Ride"! The motion control attraction included footage directed by two time Japanese Academy Award winning director Takashi Yamazaki. (Always: Sunset on Third Street, Returner, Space Battleship Yamato) The director even put Godzilla into a dream sequence in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2. At present he's rumored to be the director of the next Godzilla film.
