Toho announced a new Godzilla ride attraction that is in development. The project will be helmed by Takashi Yamazaki, who has not just directed a host of movies for Toho like Godzilla Minus One (2023) and Yokaipedia (2022), but also directed and wrote the Godzilla the Ride attraction that debuted in 2021 at the Seibuen Amusement Park.

July 1st, 2025 update

Another update for the upcoming attraction and a lot of details to go with it.

First, the title for the ride has been revealed. The sequel attraction will carry the name “Godzilla the Ride: Great Clash”. In addition, Toho has released the logo to go along with the title, which is featured in English.

Beyond the title, the ride also has a release date. In fact, it’s coming in exactly one month, to debut on August 1st, 2025. It will be featured first at Japan’s Seibuen Amusement Park, which is the same location of Godzilla the Ride. Although not confirmed, it’s likely this will replace that attraction. It’s worth noting right now that the venue currently alternates between Ultraman the Ride and Godzilla the Ride, with both playing daily with one typically taking over the morning timeframe and the other the afternoon timeframe. This sequel may replace one or both of those attractions.

The most exciting news, though is related to what the ride will be about. The attraction will see the King of the Monsters face off against a new Mechagodzilla, designated as the “KIJU type 0‐G BREAKER‐,” in an ocean battle. Guests will step into the role of Godzilla surveillance crew members aboard the Goose Nest, the flagship of the Emergency Defense against Gargantuan Encounter (EDGE) team. Not only that but the ship will also house the KIJU type 0‐G BREAKER‐ Mechagodzilla.

During this approximately 15-minute splash ride, guests will embark on a mission to track down and engage Godzilla using the Goose Nest’s advanced “GOOSE” drone ship. This drone is capable of underwater, surface and aerial travel. The experience will also feature a pre-show area with EDGE performers, large monitors showcasing Godzilla’s coastal attacks, detailed schematics of the Goose Nest mothership, and a full mockup of the KIJU type 0‐G BREAKER‐ within its hangar.

Beyond the extensive details on the plot, a render was also shared depicting Godzilla facing off against the Takashi Yamazaki designed Mechagodzilla.

As previously noted, Yamazaki is helming the project. He is joined by GMO production team and Shirogumi Inc. in helping to realize the new ride.

As a side note, the concept of Godzilla and Mechagodzilla out at sea has been pitched before. In fact, it was a concept proposed during the Heisei Godzilla series under the title Godzilla: Great Naval Battle.

May 7th, 2025 update

For the project, announced today, today Yamazaki is once again collaborating with Brogent Technologies to bring a new Godzilla experience to life. Utilizing the iRide system, the upcoming attraction is slated for a summer 2025 debut.

In a statement, Yamazaki expressed his excitement for the project, stating: “I’m thrilled to return to Godzilla’s world from the passenger seat. What powerful foes will emerge? Where will this ride take us next? As a ride enthusiast myself, I can’t wait for my first spin—and I’m working day and night with our team to make this the most terrifying ride in the world.”

As noted, the upcoming ride will utilize the iRide system developed by Brogent Technologies. A benefit of this, though, is that the upcoming attraction will not be locked into a single amusement part, the way Godzilla the Ride was. In fact, a second report notes that the ride is set to appear in 40 different locations globally that feature the iRide system. The exact locations are unknown. i-Ride Taipei, which is actually branded with the iRide name, is probably likely since it featured Attack on Titan and other attractions. However, many locations with the system are often themed based on their location and would be unlikely to swap out their content for something on Godzilla. For example, as the name suggests, FlyOver Canada located in Vancouver, British Columbia, is devoted to taking guests on an aerial trip over Canada while also using the iRide system.

Regardless of the global launch, additional details like the ride’s official title and featured monsters are noted to be revealed at a later date.
