Sci-fi fans, rejoice! Rides at a new theme park being built in China's Guiyang city called the East Science Valley will combine many of the hallmarks of popular science fiction, like futuristic cities, robots, space travel, and aliens, with the latest in virtual reality, augmented reality, holograph projection, and other modern visual tech. Officials announced that the park is set to be completed December, but Ruptly got a sneak peek inside.

Thousands of vacationers attended the sold-out opening event in the Japanese city of Beppu last weekend. The innovative new attraction combines Japanese hot spring bathing culture with rollercoasters and rides of all sizes. It all started with a video project showing hot tub rollercoasters which inspired the city’s mayor, Yasuhiro Nagano, who said the fantasy would become a reality if the video got over a million hits, a figure it exceeded in just three days. The aquatic amusements were funded by voluntary contributions, and 75,000,000 yen, or about $677,000, has been pledged to date.
Cars on one of Japan's largest Ferris Wheels have been outfitted with microphones, speakers, and monitors, where riders can read the words to their favorite songs and sing along like no one is listening. If that sounds like music to your ears, you might want to stand in line to take a ride on the Ferris Wheel in Tokyo's Dome City amusement park, which now offers full service karaoke on board its cable cars.
Calling all daredevils and thrill seekers! This huge, multi-story structure is called the 'Muscle Monster' and it can be found at the Sagamiko Resort Pleasure Forest, located in Japan's Kanagawa prefecture. The Muscle Monster is the largest climbing attraction and obstacle course in Asia and it welcomed climbers to scale its heights for the first time on Saturday. Built on a mountain top, 'Muscle Monster' is a hexagonal colosseum of climbing nets and structures, with 92 activities for its visitors to choose from. Those who can defy all three hierarchical athletic areas are rewarded with a spectacular 360 degree view from a rooftop observatory. Climbers are connected to safety lines, which extend through out the course, via carabiners at all times, so falling isn't really much of a big deal. In fact, climbers at the Muscle Monster fall all the time. Participants must be over 4 feet tall and weigh no more than 264 pounds if they want to practice their ninja skills at the park. Adventure parks, as obstacle courses like Muscle Monster are commonly known, first started being developed a few decades ago and have since taken off in popularity across the world, especially in Europe and Asia. Muscle Monster and other similar parks offer an excellent way to maintain fitness while having a good time with family or friends, and they can help you get over that lingering fear of heights... Don't look down!
