It's Nara Dreamland, the original imitation Disneyland! In 1990 I captured this video while the park was still open. You'll see the train station entrance, walk down Main Street and visit the Castle. You'll ride the Monorail, the Skyride, the Matterhorn Bobsled and experience a Jungle Boat Cruise like no other. The Mouse company didn't build it either, it was an unauthorized copy of Disneyland, long before Tokyo Disneyland was even an idea. It's said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this 1961 park took flattery to new heights! After Tokyo Disneyland and other more modern theme parks opened in Japan, Nara Dreamland became less appealing to the public. When this 1990 park visit took place, it was clear that large crowds were gone. The park closed in 2006. For more interesting videos, feel free to click above on my name. Subscribers welcome!
