Nara Dreamland

Nara Dreamland (奈良ドリームランド Nara Dorīmurando) was a theme park near Nara, Japan which was built in 1961 and inspired by Disneyland in California. On August 31, 2006, Nara Dreamland closed permanently.

Layout

The entrance to the park was designed to look almost identical to Disneyland, including the Train depot, a Main Street, U.S.A. and the familiar Sleeping Beauty Castle at the hub. It also had a Matterhorn-type mountain (with a Matterhorn Bobsleds-type ride), and the skyway running through it, as well as an Autopia-type ride and a monorail.

Attractions

The park contained several rides prior to closing, including:

  • Aska, a wooden roller coaster based on The Cyclone at Coney Island
  • Screw Coaster, an Arrow Dynamics designed double corkscrew steel roller coaster
  • Bobsleigh, a steel roller coaster modeled after the Matterhorn Bobsleds
  • Fantasy Coaster
  • Kid's Coaster

Other rides included a carousel, a small powered coaster, a Jungle Cruise styled ride, and a log flume.
