Pity it took almost a half-hour because the “hill” was a half mile of a residential neighborhood with winding streets and a canal through the center of it. Osaka is actually quite close to Nara…. Much, much faster. It was located in Nara which is on the east side of Greater Osaka in Japan. No time for food…we had to find our train! Back in 2005, Hurricane Katrina left a trail of devastation when it touched down the city of New Orleans. 9. I’m glad you shared the photos and videos of it.

I wasn’t that fortunate. And some of the land is still used for farming. But this is about the downfall of the abandoned Nara Dreamland and in my estimation that part began about two years ago, when the park was foreclosed and first put up for public auction – since then “security” sightings went down (guess why…), vandalism skyrocketed (guess why…) and everybody and their cousin went there to take selfies with phones smarter than themselves (though I have to admit that I met some nice people, too, especially recently). I dunno.

This is a new one) which gives a decent history of the place. An hour and a half later, we were back at Kyoto Station, finding our express train to Nara. for discount tickets to Walt Disney World.

In the two weeks since October 23rd the demolition crew not only got rid of the massive metal Screw Coaster, they literally tore through the wooden Aska roller coaster. Wonder where I could watch a match of sumo wrestling?

Yeah, this place really IS a DIVE (grin). https://www.facebook.com/AbandonedKansai/. Ooooooo….now, THAT’S pretty.
Made it back to Nara Station…a tiny train station, so no food there, but we figured we could get something at Kyoto Station when we got back there. Fun, fun, fun! The picture doesn’t do this justice at all. It operated from 1961 up to 2006, when it was closed due to lack of visitors .

Disney has ditched several projects over the years for various reasons, but often these parks have been left intact to decay naturally over time. On September 9th SK Housing started to become really active by putting up office containers and porter potties at the lower end of the parking lot, the large construction fence with the main gate. If the crew keeps up that speed, there will be little to nothing left of Nara Dreamland by the end of the year – which means that I either misread the sign at the main gate, or SK Housing will finish construction of whatever they are planning to build on the former site of Nara Dreamland.
