I'm thinking a Japanese version of Vacation.

That would work when it was open:

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.)
I'm thinking one of those frat party movies...
Ocean View Park was a real place, until somebody made a movie about it...
From the land where Fabio collided with a duck! :-D
They should allow the homeless to live in abandoned theme parks.
That place reminds me of the eerie carnival in Something Wicked This Way Comes. :buggedout:
It had a sister park: Yokohama Dreamland
That park was closed in 2003(?). They tore it down....to build a prison. :smile:

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.
Something about the idea of a run down abandoned theme park just screams "horror movie" to me.
Nah man, we have to film a comedy there. one with...pure satire!

Here's a movie idea:
Ghosts of the people who died in this park come back and start a zombie like feeding frenzy on the inmates of the new prison.
G.A. Romero should direct it!
It could be a location for a post apocolyptic film? 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:

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.
Nara Dreamland is being/has been torn down.
