Universal Studios Japan’s much-talked-about Minion Park has been a hit with visitors since its launch in April, and the annual summer festival is about to begin. Universal Studios Japan has announced that from June 30 (Friday) to September 3, it will hold the largest number of summer entertainment events in the park’s history. Last year’s water splash party has been expanded into a parade format, with water volume increased by 300% compared to last year, offering guests an even more spectacular and refreshing experience in terms of scale and variety.

This summer’s Minion Water Splash Surprise Parade will use 300% more water than last year, expanding the areas where you can get completely soaked. Along the parade route, there will be massive water cannons shooting jets of water high into the air, as well as devices that pour down torrents of water from above – the impact of the waterfall-like flow of water is sure to be exhilarating.

The new SUMMER0?PLASH0?ARKET, featuring summer food, merchandise, and games, has made its debut. The bustling market will include a variety of cool attractions unique to the season. Additionally, cute Minion-themed ice shavers shaped like buckets and summer-themed Bob popcorn buckets will also make an appearance.
