GUNDAM CRISIS attraction opens up, fanboys unite

Right on schedule, the GUNDAM CRISIS attraction at the Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park in Japan has opened its door for fanatics paying guests, and just as we expected, a whole slew of live photographs have made their way out. Fanboys (and girls) hoping that a great deal of care would be taken in its construction are likely to be pleased, as the 1:1 creation certainly bears a resemblance to the real deal. Without further ado, head on past the break for a few more shots, and tag the read link if you're looking for the whole roll.

Wow...the detail is amazing!

[Xenogears @ Jul 19th 2007 10:26AM]

Wow! Only in Japan. I hate living in the USA.
We never get anything or do anything cool like this.
That's it, I'm moving.

[Peter @ Jul 19th 2007 10:32AM]

So true. I'd go there just for the internet connections... but robots too?! Time to break open piggy bank.

[Bad Beaver @ Jul 19th 2007 10:38AM]

Hm. Well, sweet. Great detail. But does it actually *do* anything except blinking? Does it move?

[wooders @ Jul 19th 2007 11:06AM]

i'm not sure, but i think it can poop.

[L. Cyphre @ Jul 19th 2007 10:48AM]

It's dead, Jim.

[Matt E. @ Jul 19th 2007 11:14AM]

Of course it moves...but its the pilot that's the actual weapon.

[Eman @ Jul 19th 2007 11:27AM]

Oh I am so going

[brenden @ Jul 19th 2007 11:56AM]

ok so is that the strike or shins mobile suit, which is the um... well i forget

[strider_mt2k @ Jul 19th 2007 11:57AM]

It's...catheterized.

[Kamokazi @ Jul 19th 2007 12:01PM]

I have seen my Graceland...

But seriously, why such facination with the original? Why not Zeta or Mark II? They are much more interesting, yet still essentially standard designs. Heck even the RX-79's would be better.

[KrunchTime @ Jul 19th 2007 2:08PM]

Save those models for the real deal; when it can actually 'function' ^^

[drtekger @ Jul 19th 2007 10:20PM]

Why is it lying on the floor? I want to see this baby crush New Orleans or Manhattan ^^

[Jin Dogan @ Jul 20th 2007 8:55AM]

You know it's less than 50 feet tall, right?

[Nick @ Jul 20th 2007 4:15PM]

You gotta like the old school, but I gotta agree the RX-79 from 08th MS team was the most realistic and in my opinion coolest.

[Kevin @ Jul 29th 2007 5:19PM]

@Jin Dogan, the japanese site says it's 18 meters "tall", that's 58.5 feet.
