The film served as a theme park attraction that was screened at Sanrio Puroland and Harmony Land[1] from March 18, 1994[2] to July 1, 1998.[3] It is a 3-D motion simulator featuring specially filmed sequences of Godzilla battling the monsters Mothra and Rodan.[4] All the monsters were portrayed using the costumes and props from the early 1990s Godzilla films. In addition, a new super-plane named Earth is introduced to thwart the monsters' destructive rampage.

The footage from the attraction was released as a bonus feature for the Japan-only Godzilla Final Box (with the Hello Kitty footage removed, possibly due to legal issues and the short's depiction of her as a general not particularly appropriate for the character).
