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.
Today, in honor of Godzilla Day 2022, the Seibuen Amusement Park announced an addition to their current attraction: "Godzilla the Mission: Escape from the Approaching Crisis of Giant Monsters!"
