iconmaniac Review of Airsbrdesign Studios Japan
If you don t have express pass:
If you don t have express pass:
1) go on Tuesday - Thursday during non peak. We went on Tuesday, early November and it was packed but not as bad. Locals were polite and fun!
2) get there as early as you can before the opening and queue up. As soon as the gate opens walk fast (no point running since you may not outrun those kids) to Harry Potter and the forbidden journey since this is the ride that will always have the longest queue. We only waited less than 15 mins! And we arrived just when the early entries ones are done and out. So in my view, no point to get early entry.
3) After that, plan and go other rides you want, on non peak it s not as bad the queues are manageable, longest i seen is around 75 mins which you can plan to come back later at night or skip.
4) you do not have to sneak in food unless it s a ramen or bento meal. Snacks are allowed and why not try the food inside, a bit exp but expected right? Good for instagram pics anyways
5) We tried almost every ride without need to rush or queue very long. Yes even the boring ones. Except for flying dinosaur which looking at it makes our heart drop already! At night, we went bak to forbidden journey 2 more times, with almost no waiting! The ride had emergency stop and we ended up staring at the spiders for 5 mins haha, can't imaging those whom are stuck somewhere else more scary. Despite going again it was still amazing!
6) it s a magical place, different compared to Disney as not the same vibe and theme so highly recommended
7) Prepared to be tired so make sure you have good shoes. There are more than enough seatings and resting places though
8) Seen lots of people with strollers so not a problem
9) It's VERY different from Singapore USJ, despite some of the rides are similar
10) Just like all of Japan, staff's service quality were amazing which makes it more enjoyable!
That being said i know a lot of my friends had a tough time when visiting during weekends. So do plan ahead!
