Hollywood Dream – The Ride

Hollywood Dream – The Ride (ハリウッド・ドリーム・ザ・ライド, Hariuddo Dorīmu Za Raido) is a steel roller coaster located at Universal Studios Japan.

Designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, it features inbuilt sound systems allowing riders to choose their ride music.

At the time of the ride's launch these tracks included "Homebound Train" by Bon Jovi, "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, "Get Back" by The Beatles, "Osaka Lover" by Dreams Come True, and "The Wing Named You" by Kobukuro.

As of December 2017, the English pop songs include "Live While We're Young" by One Direction and "Feel This Moment" by Pitbull and Christina Aguilera.

Admission is through four entrance options: general admittance, holders of Universal Express Passes, single riders, and "child switch".

This rise was directly attributed to Hollywood Dream and saw the company significantly increase their projections for profit for that financial year.
