Michael Jackson

Jackson inserted into AS-1 rides after completion

• So for this and all relevant articles: MJ was (largely?) inserted into the AS-1 ridefilms after the fact. Which is obvious in retrospect, but it explains why the MJ bits are entirely separate from the real content.

re: this, Hironao Takeda's various blogposts about the development of the AS-1 do specifically mention that Jackson played a complete, localised build of Scramble Training on his December 1992 visit and agreed on the spot to film inserts for the ridefilm afterward

I'm not as certain about Megalopolis, as that seems to have been released later on in 1993 - having said that, clips of it were previewed on British television in late 1992 around the exact same time as MJ's visit, so he probably saw some of that in advance too

Thank you! Just added the Hironao Takeda info, will get to Megalopolis on British TV soon. For the former, I'm having a hard time locating his blogspot for a ref. Do you have links to those posts at all? ty again :) CartridgeCulture (talk) 02:00, 10 October 2022 (EDT)

the main one where he talks about his memories of MJ is here, though I think there may be a few others - will have to check again at some point - https://blog.goo.ne.jp/lemon6868/e/32a5ef5e93b829fd3271e29d8f9a6e1e
