Well, sorry. As you guessed, Universal's new Harry Potter parade is coming to Universal Studios Japan.
Universal Spectacle Night Parade will debut at the Osaka theme park next year, featuring not only Potter but also parade units themed to the Minions, Transformers, and Jurassic World franchises.
Universal is promoting the new event as a "next-generation" theme park parade. The procession will be coordinated with projection mapping on surrounding buildings and will include live performances on portable stages, as well as dynamic floats. And the whole thing will play with a cinematic musical score accompanying the performance.
The park will use Universal's new wireless "show orchestration" technology to coordinate everything, and the parade represents a reported investment of US$61.86 million, more than double what Universal spent on the park's existing parades.
No specific opening date has been announced.

I'm all for a fun parade, but that's a lot of money. With that level of investment, it's almost assured that they're going to deploy similar technology and designs in other parks around the world.
