Along with the 4-D theater show, Hollywood Dream – The Ride will be transformed for the collaboration. The theme song for Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaikai Kitan by Eve, will be played on the ride for a limited time, from September 16, 2022 until January 18, 2023. The track is incredibly popular, and the opening for the series has been watched over 250 million times on YouTube. Listening to it on a roller coaster will be an entirely new experience and one that you can only experience at Universal Studios Japan!
Additionally, there will be Jujutsu Kaisen-themed food and merchandise available during the crossover event. More information will be announced in the future.
