Universal Studios Japan Reveals More About Doraemon VR Coaster
Last month, Universal Studios Japan announced a new Doraemon VR coaster based on the upcoming film Nobita’s Sky Utopia. Today, we have a bit more information about what’s to come!
Officially titled Doraemon XR Ride: Nobita’s Sky Utopia, the ride will combine roller coaster action with 3D visuals and effects to take riders through the high-flying world of Paradapia. As they explore the setting of the film, they’ll be guided by the cat robot Sonya (voiced by Ren Nagase). But the tour is interrupted by bounty hunter Marimba (Marina Inoue). Both Sonya and Marimba appear in the film, with their voice actors appearing in the limited-time XR adventure.

As seen in the new key visual above, riders can also expect to see old friends and a few of Doraemon’s more famous futuristic gadgets. Long-time viewers may recognize the Small Light and Anywhere Door, both of which will be used during the adventure.
The ride will open February 23 at Universal Studios Japan. You’ll have until September 3 to join Doraemon and Nobita on their adventures.

With the help of a time-traveling ship, they discover Paradapia, a civilization of floating islands where everyone lives happily and everything is perfect… or so it seems…
