OK, OK,so the title of the post is not exactly comic genious… but that’s not why you’re here anyway.

The news was just released that the E.T. ride at Universal Studios Japan will be discontinued on May 10th. USJ explained the move saying that there are a growing number of kids who are unfamiliar with E.T., so they’ve decided to make some improvements.

So what do you think is going to replace it… maybe something that’s popular with Japanese customers at Universal Studios in the U.S… maybe something uniquely Japanese (that would be nice)… anybody want to venture a guess?
