After spending thrity-one months in Japan building the
Universal Studios Japan theme park in Osaka and even more
time in the US preparing for the trip, we felt an obligation
to honor those who created the only theme park ever to be
completed ahead of schedule and under budget. We began the
project in 2001 after returning to California, but the final
version of the book was not finished until the early spring
of 2005. Ever since publication, the book has garnered
terrific reviews. We've heard from many readers that it has
proved very valuable for travel, working, and learning about
not only the country and the people, but also about the
behind-the-scenes processes required to build a world-class
theme park.
We hope that readers will laugh and cry and, in the end,
feel that they have learned something.
The book was written to honor all our colleagues - Japanese,
American, and others - who made the park happen, with a
special dedication to Raouf Iskander, the colleague we lost
during our time in Japan.
So we hope you will enjoy the adventure!
