🎡 Nara Dreamland

Nara Dreamland , or just simply Dreamland, was a theme park near Nara, Japan, heavily inspired by Disneyland in California. It opened in 1961 and was successful until the opening of Tokyo Disneyland in 1983 which caused attendance to drop. Attendance fell even further after both Tokyo DisneySea and Universal Studios Japan opened in 2001, leading to Dreamland's permanent closure in 2006. The park was left abandoned until it was demolished between October 2016 and December 2017.
