For those excited about the Gundam Crisis ride that features a life-sized Gundam, which opened at the end of July, here’s a Japanese TV report on it.

As you can see the thing is huge, yet there is a lot of attention to detail, which is great so it doesn’t just look like a gargantuan toy. The ride costs 800 yen and once inside you are given a special device which you take inside the Gundam to complete missions. You do this by sticking the thing into mission stations along your path. The overall story, as far as I know, is to get the Gundam ready for deployment and if you actually manage to finish every mission you get to go into the cockpit and watch a video reflecting your tremendous efforts to save the day.

It might be bigger, but that other giant replica still has a special place in my heart.
