The Dragon Ball Z 3D coaster has a simple concept, but it is one which anime fans can appreciate. The coaster doesn’t involve any fast-paced cars or plunges. Rather, the ride asks fans to don 3D goggles as they board a simulator cart shaped like Goku’s trusty cloud. The ride then takes fans on a journey as they ride the Flying Nimbus with Goku. The attraction will simulate atmospheric things such as wind, speed, elevation, and even turbulence for those who ride it.

For those of you wanting to test out the ride, J-World will open the attraction on July 15. The park will also offer Flying Nimbus-shaped custard desserts to visitors. The area also has other Dragon Ball Z attractions open for now like a Kamehameha simulator and Capsule Corporation photo spot.

For fans, getting a chance to ‘ride’ the Flying Nimbus is a dream come true. The item was introduced in the Dragon Ball manga before it showed up in the original anime. Master Roshi gifts the transportation device to Goku after the kid saves Turtle. The martial artist warned only those with pure hearts can ride the Flying Nimbus, and the cloud served Goku throughout Dragon Ball Z. The fast-flying cloud helped Goku and his brood travel without draining their energy before battles. Other anime titles like Dragon Ball GT and Dragon Ball Super have also made use of Flying Nimbus though in a more infrequent fashion.

The synopsis of Dragon Ball Super‘s current saga can be read here:

“According to an invitation that Goku gets, Zen-Oh (Omni King) is starting a martial arts tournament between all the universes called “Chikara no Taikai” (Tournament of Power). But it is the beginning of universal destruction. Something awaits the winners and losers of this tournament. What will become of this fierce team battle between each universe’s elite warriors?”

Dragon Ball Super‘s “Universal Survival” saga is part of the recent simulcast agreement that sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation have scored. Dragon Ball Super airs on Crunchyroll Saturdays at 7:15 p.m. CST. Toonami will begin airing the English dub on Adult Swim Saturdays at 11:30 p.m.
