Theme Park Attraction "Gundam Crisis" and "Gundam Front Tokyo"
The RX-78-2 Gundam had a full 1/1 scale mock-up constructed for the theme park attraction Gundam Crisis. It costs 800 yen to go into the attraction and the attraction is basically a game where the players have to complete about 8 different missions within 8 minutes (1 minute per mission) in order to access the cockpit. If successful, players are shown a special, Gundam related video inside the cockpit.
The statue currently is assembled in Odaiba, Tokyo, outside the shopping mall Diver City Tokyo, where it is the centerpiece of the "Gundam Front Tokyo" attraction. Visitors can visit the statue and also see the Gundam Front Tokyo attraction on the sixth floor of the mall, which features a 360 degree panoramic movie theater, a room dedicated to Gundam models throughout the years, lots of concept artwork, and a life-size 1/1 scale bust of the Strike Freedom Gundam from the show Gundam SEED.

—Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)
