Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Pacman000 on May 01, 2012, 07:29:27 PM I'm thinking a Japanese version of Vacation. That would work when it was open: http://www.themeparkreview.com/japan2004/nara1.htm (http://www.themeparkreview.com/japan2004/nara1.htm) Warning: While this review is okay, some of Theme Park Review's other articals are Not Safe For Work. :bluesad: (Actually security is supposed to be pretty tight; it might be funny to see a family chased around an abandoned park by an angry security guard. Perhaps they were looking for Tokyo Disneyland, requested directions for a Japanese Disneyland, and wound up here.) Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie?

Ocean View Park was a real place, until somebody made a movie about it... From the land where Fabio collided with a duck! :-D Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie?

Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Pacman000 on May 03, 2012, 05:11:27 PM It had a sister park: Yokohama Dreamland
That park was closed in 2003(?). They tore it down....to build a prison. :smile: Pics here: http://www.rcdb.com/5000.htm (http://www.rcdb.com/5000.htm) Edit: After further research, I'm not sure what they built there. They might have built a used car auction site and a school. A prison sounds funnier though, so it sticks out. Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Chainsawmidget on May 03, 2012, 05:23:02 PM Something about the idea of a run down abandoned theme park just screams "horror movie" to me.

Romero should direct it! Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Living_Dead_Girl on May 06, 2012, 05:18:56 AM It could be a location for a post apocolyptic film? Those pictures made me want to look up abonded houses. Facinating! :)

Those pictures made me want to look up abonded houses. Facinating! :) If you want the survivors to stumble on Disneyland/World, it would work. Here's a park which looks like the Apocalypse already happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivhGgy7nSxU Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Pacman000 on January 16, 2017, 05:14:22 PM Well, this is a bit sad; Nara Dreamland sold last year, & is being torn down: https://abandonedkansai.com/2016/11/08/nara-dreamland-demolition/ (https://abandonedkansai.com/2016/11/08/nara-dreamland-demolition/)

I don't know how up to date this info is, but it looks like the Yokohama College of Pharmacy took it over as a college campus. Building an academic library, classrooms, and labs there. Later adding other structures, amenities, and green spaces. Though a prison sounds like more fun. And with "It's a Small World (After All)" playing on a continuous loop, it'd be the Prison from Hell. Where even the toughest prisoners fear to go. Title: Re: Wouldn't this be a good place to film a movie? Post by: Pacman000 on June 01, 2017, 04:09:09 PM Nara Dreamland is being/has been torn down.
