What is the Godzilla interception operation?
"Godzilla Intercept Operation" is themed on the world's largest life-sized Godzilla that landed on Awaji Island, and is the only entertainment attraction in the world where you can fully experience Godzilla's power and force. Participants become members of the National Godzilla Awajishima Research Center, and after receiving an explanation of the "Godzilla Intercept Operation" that unfolds against Godzilla that appeared on Awaji Island through a movie-like attraction video produced by Toho, they will challenge the "Zip Line" and "Anti-Godzilla Cell Shooting" attractions. The adjacent "Godzilla Museum," the world's first permanent museum, exhibits spectacular dioramas that make you feel like you are experiencing scenes from the movie right in front of you, with the cooperation of Toho Eizo Bijutsu Co., Ltd., which has been responsible for the special effects art of Godzilla movies.
