Universal Studios Japan has just teased a little more about their upcoming campaign rides that are rolling out this January and these include two promo videos for their upgraded Evangelion and Attack on Titan experiences.
These two are among a few other experiences which are part of Universal’s “Cool Japan” campaign rides that include Biohazard (Resident Evil) the Escape, Monster Hunter the Real and an attraction inspired by singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

The new ad for Evangelion the Real 4D reveals the ride will feature air blasts, water sprays and vibrations to simulate being in battle with an Eva unit; and will have exclusive designs inspired by Unit 4 by Ikuto Yamashita. They will also be selling port and tomato Angel snacks plus popcorn containers that made like Unit 01’s head (complete with glowing eyes) and a drink container that looks like an LCL entry plug. I guess if you’ve ever wanted to eat the “brains” of an Eva unit, this is probably your best bet.
The Attack on Titan the Real attraction will be a similar ride, but with Titans and high flying 3D maneuver gear action. Levi, Mikasa, Armin and Eren will be making appearances here and the scene will likely be based on the fight between the Female Titan and Eren’s Titan form. They haven’t announced any accompanying merch yet, but we think we don’t really want a Colossal Titan head for a popcorn container.

The Cool Japan 2016 campaign will run from 15 January all the way to 26 June 2016, so if you happen to be in Japan for a trip, you should make it a point to catch at least one of these in person.
