The experience, the rides and the enjoyment I had was incredible. My favourite ride was the flying dinosaur, I don't think I'd experience it in the Gold Coast, despite us having the Biggest Roller Coaster in the Southern Hemisphere. This theme park is second-to-none compared to the previous ones I've been to

A beautiful amusement park divided into themed areas, each with its own unique characteristics. I would have preferred to buy a skip-the-line ticket to save time and have the chance to go on all the rides, but I still managed to visit several attractions!

Absolutely CRAZY experience for me & my wife! Enjoyed ALL the popular rides on my day to USJ, thanks to the express pass backdrop which got us skip the line access to rides that had the highest waiting time For all other rides, we used the single entry queue which got me inside the ride within 10-25 minutes per ride. One of the best days of our lives.

Osaka 2025 was a unique experience with amazing atmosphere. The architecture of the outer wooden ring is spectacular and worth the travel. The mix and set up of country pavilions is well organized. The drawback of the success is that the event is a bit crowded. We will keep found memories of Osaka 2025 !
