Overview
- Universal Studios Japan announced Wednesday that Zanzō will be an R-18 Halloween Horror Nights attraction that bars anyone 17 and younger and requires a signed waiver for entry.
- The attraction is set to run at Stage 18 from September 11 through November 8, 2026, operating from 10 a.m. until park close, with separate tickets scheduled to go on sale around 9 p.m. JST on July 27.
- USJ requires a separately purchased admission ticket, mandates that guests store belongings in lockers at the entrance, and asks wheelchair users to contact the park information center after buying a ticket.
- The park prohibits participants from disclosing interior details and may demand deleted posts or remove guests who violate that rule, and the full text of the mandatory waiver has not been published.
- The move extends USJ’s prior attraction-specific age limits and departs from Universal Orlando’s advisory approach, and it could shift how parks handle legal consent, secrecy and premium ticketing for extreme immersive scares.
