Mr. Future

There’s a 60-foot (18 m) giant robot in Fujiyoshida Japan, who desperately needs your help.

In a hanger beneath the mysterious amusement park Fuji-Q Highland, the mighty full-scale Mobile Suit Gundam awaits urgent repairs that only you, and perhaps every other visitor to the park this summer, can perform. Time is short, and the Earth Federation is in grave danger, so each visitor will be equipped with a digital tablet to diagnose and repair the colossal mechanical anime hero.

Now, while this is right up Mr. Future’s alley, giant robot troubleshooting and repair does stretch the concept of a traditional amusement part ride a bit.  If nothing else, though, Gundam Crisis (the ride!) promises to be an excellent mix of animatronics, 3D CGI animation, and old-fashioned stagecraft, to help you get your robot-hero-of-the-future fix on.
