Universal Studios Japan (USJ) and The Pokémon Company have teamed up to deliver an unforgettable summer experience. This article details the exciting water-themed parade featuring beloved Pokémon characters.
Expanding on the popular NO LIMIT! Parade, USJ's Summer Splash Parade adds a thrilling water element to the festivities. This collaboration, born from a 2021 "creative alliance," combines innovative technology and creativity to bring Pokémon to life in a spectacular, interactive way. The parade features iconic Pokémon like Pikachu and Charizard, but now with a refreshing twist.
The Pokémon Company prioritized realism, exemplified by Gyarados' impressive debut. Three performers synchronize their movements to create a captivating dragon-like performance.
But the fun isn't limited to Pokémon! Expect a deluge of water from beloved characters from Super Mario, Despicable Me, Sesame Street, Peanuts, and Sing.
Guests aren't just passive observers; they're active participants! On hot days, the 360° Soak Zone offers a fully immersive, water-gun battle experience with friends, family, and parade performers. While personal water guns are disallowed, a complimentary Water Shooter is provided within the zone.
Beyond the parade, USJ offers exclusive Pokémon merchandise and themed food and beverages. Highlights include the "Gyarados Whirling Smoothie – Soda & Pineapple," served in a uniquely designed cup featuring a large Gyarados graphic. A variety of summer-perfect treats are also available.
The parade runs from July 3rd to September 1st, with the 360° Soak Zone available until August 22nd. Whether it's your first visit or a return trip, The Pokémon Company promises an exciting and memorable experience.
