Nara Dreamland 2005

While visiting #Japan in 2005 I knew I had to stop by #NaraDreamland, this #FakeDisneyland had to be seen to be believe. So glad I did, and even more glad I found my video of that trip years later.

[@SHEAV_PALPAMEME]

Never lose this video again, my guy. It's practically a piece of historical documentation at this point in time.

[@biancacdakitteee7161]

Agreed

[@Whiccup]

Of courseee!

[@goto4459]

I'm Japanese. I often visit Nara but I was born in 2004 so never see real Dreamland. This video is very precious for me. Thank you so much. Sorry for the clumsy English.

*You can even see it’s downfall in this video as there are not that many people there... 10/10 Video!*

[@spriteblood]

You get a great view on what it once was. I wish I could have visited it

[@cartarsaucetheatre9363]

thx, ya this was very soon before it closed down. Not really surprising when you see the condition it was in.

[@Iren_kimuno]

But theme park was got abandoned

[@JeeMeeVee]

Wow amazing footage! So glad you found your video visiting Nara Dreamland back in 2005. It seems they are only few people going in that park. This is so sad because it was closed in 2006, been abandoned for 10 years, and after a year it was demolished as well. Nara Dreamland is such a beautiful and amazing park, those bright and vividly colors of the castle is very fascinating and even wonderful. It just really devastating and heartbreaking that this Dreamland is now only a dream that just faded away. Thanks you so much for the video! 😊 Warm big hugs from Philippines. 💕

[@svis6888]

Well there's a true Disney now

[@JeeMeeVee]

After almost 4 years, I’m here again to watch this Nara Dreamland video. It’s so interesting to see Nara Dreamland when it was still open and operated. It looks very sad to see how the theme park looks so lonely and peaceful because the low of attendance. I’m so glad you uploaded this!

[@CanisVindicate]

You cut the haunted house 😭😭😭 It looked so interesting and weird in the abandoned video, I Wanted to see it in activity

[@chibikim77]

As soon as I saw the feral, sick cat, plants taking over some of the rides, closed shops, and rust, that was the sign of the park ending real soon. I was so fascinated by the history of Dreamland. What you have is amazing stuff. I always wanted to see what it was like before it was abandoned.

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

Well they didn't have enough money to repair and fix things Because of Disney and universal

[@bradythomas234]

Those stairs remind me of the pathway steps I made in rollercoaster tycoon

[@AnalogLanguage]

Lot of cynical opinions on this park but for its lifespan it's probably given memories to families and kids in Japan, we see it as a Disney knockoff but to someone who went as a kid it's probably irreplaceable, depressing to see what happened to it lowkey.

[@ExploringWithJosh]

amazing

[@justinmv023]

I'm glad to see Nara Dreamland before it closed in 2006. Okay, the cat caught my attention. It's so cute. By watching this video, you can actually see what the theme park looked like when it was open and operating at this time. It's nice to see some people still visit and go to the park. Even though Japan has already had their very own actual Disneyland and Universal Studios, I am really saddened by how Nara Dreamland turned out. Back then, it was a very promising and wonderful theme park that everyone really loved. Now it has become a memory in the past that will never ever be forgotten by the people who went there. Even though I have not gone there, Nara Dreamland has a special place in my heart. I love watching and hearing stories about this park. I really don't know why, but it gives me a nostalgic feeling from the past. You made everyone happy, and the people had happy and unforgettable memories because of you, Nara Dreamland. Thank you very much.

​@@cartarsaucetheatre9363 that's awesome! i'm sure you'll stumble across it, and i demand you share it as soon as you find it!

[@svis6888]

Nara Dreamland really tried to give a Disneyland to Japan but it since the owner couldn't use Disney's characters, it wasn't really Disney. But now there's a REAL "Happiest place on Earth" !

[@That-One-Ape]

Ever since I heard of the legacy about this park, it’s sparked something in me. I’m so interested about such a theme park that was a clone, but brought joy to millions. Even though I wasn’t able to visit, the final day speech is what tightened my interest for this park. Thank you so much for stumbling apon this footage during the parks final days.

[@jayknight205]

Lol no matter what language u speak a scream is universal lmfao

[@faiburii6340]

I saw other video that was filmed in 2018 it's still the same but lifeless and super eerie. Felt bad for this wonderful place.

[@TackyFlamingo]

What’s wonderful about it?

[@neferazure]

It wasn't filmed in 2018. The park was already demolished COMPLETELY by 2017, and demolition started in 2016. So the footage you saw was probably taken between 2006 to 2016, and UPLOADED sometime in 2018, but it definitely wasn't filmed in 2018, specifically if the rides and buildings were all still in the footage. Everything was gone completely by March of 2017.

I feel very lucky I got to visit. I should do a director commentary on that video, so many stories born that day.

[@jimmybuffet4970]

It's not a coincidence that it feels like Disney: They were involved in development, but pulled out during construction pre-opening in 1961 due to... shocker... licensing disagreements!

Now I'm wondering something, do you think you also have any video footage on the park's mascots, Ran-Chan and Dori-Chan?

[@cartarsaucetheatre9363]

They definitely had zero characters out and about when I was there. I would have died if I saw one.

[@patf.3776]

Can't imagine why it closed....

[@jtsmith1817]

It was because of the decline of attendence at the park when Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea opened in 1983 and 2001

[@kekes1234]

1000 years from now archeologists and anthropologists will likely think it was ruins of a lost Japanese fortress.

[@neferazure]

they won't, since everything has been demolished and they are planning to build homes on top of the old plot of land, and probably solar panels like they've done with pretty much every abandoned spot that has been demolished in Japan. Dreamland was demolished completely by March of 2017 and began in 2016.
