Kimetsu no Yaiba XR Ride - Race to Swordsmith Village
Can you help Tanjiro before it is too late?
Swordsmith Village is under attack by a group of Upper Rank Demons, and the Demon Slayer Corps, including Tanjiro, Tokito, and Kanroji, are doing their best to fend them off. However, Tanjiro needs a new sword. To aid Tanjiro in battle, you (an apprentice swordsmith), Genya, and some other familiar faces set out on a mission to search for and deliver a new sword to Tanjiro. Time is of the essence! Will you be able to complete your task and help save Swordsmith Village in time?
"Race to Swordsmith Village" follows an original storyline and is an XR Ride that combines a high-speed roller coaster with VR technology for a truly immersive experience. Please visit the official website to review the ride precautions and safety rules.
Kimetsu no Yaiba Hashira Training Arc x Hollywood Dream - The Ride
Train alongside Tanjiro, and commit yourself to Hashira training!
This attraction is split into two parts: Part 1 (July 19, 2024 - October 7, 2024) and Part 2 (October 8, 2024 - January 5, 2025). Both Parts will utilize the "Hollywood Dream - The Ride" roller coaster but will have different audios to match the stories. The roller coaster, also called “story coaster,” uniquely blends the thrilling movements of the coaster with audio of the characters’ voices.
Part 1 story: Tanjiro and you engage in an intense training session with Kanjiro, Tokito, Iguro, and Shinazugawa aboard a training craft that can withstand gravity.
Part 2 story: Tanjiro and you start whitewater training on a raging river. However, as the training session continues, you crash into a boulder and get swept down a waterfall!
Tanjiro's Gourd Bucket with Sweet Soy-Glazed Popcorn
After an exhausting day of fighting demons and training, recharge with some delicious popcorn served in a gourd bucket adorned with a tiny Tanjiro. The iconic gourd shape makes it an excellent Demon Slayer souvenir to immortalize your exciting and productive day.
