The Poor Mans Version of Disneyland

chadlingoc · 02-15-2007, 06:42 PM

My partner came across this, not sure if it has been posted on MiceChat, but I thought I would share. This is the poor mans (Six Flags) version of Disneyland. It has since been closed.

I've seen that before, absolutely hilarious.

ORDDU: Ah, yes! Nara Dreamland! My sisters and I know it fairly well! Years ago--on a side trip back home to Morva--we flew over it, looked down with gasps of horror and then kept on flying; never looking back!

ORWEN: A good friend of ours actually visited the place in the mid 90's I think. He said the place was creepy and unreal. Almost like a ghost town or something out of a science fiction movie. He never had any desire to visit the place again.

ORDDU: Of course we had no idea the place had been closed down. With Tokyo Disneyland being situated within the same country, I suppose there were too many unfavorable comparisons between the two parks--which must have caused an attendance drop for Nara Dreamland. But, then, that's just a witch's speculation...

One of the posters on here has been there. He is lucky enough to be a very well traveled Bear.

That is a park full of stolen rides!

Parks stolen from:
Disneyland
SFGAM
Cedar Point (the corkscrew ride is identical to the one at CP)

It's very odd and weird that NO ONE was there!!!!

Isn't it horrible?!?! It's so creepy and yet the report had me in stitches at the same time.

The WTF? "Stairyway to Nowhere" had me ROTFLMAO!!!!

I mean really, WTF???

chadlingoc · 02-15-2007, 08:20 PM

I am still amazed by the place, and then you stumbled upon a huge wooden roller coaster, WEIRD!!!!!!

Disney Wrassler · 02-15-2007, 08:36 PM

That is weird. I wonder what their Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln attraction looks like now!

NickCharles · 02-15-2007, 09:56 PM

It's still creeping me out after all this time. I hope I don't have weird disturbing dreams about it. [smilie=9,37,27]

AlexLoup · 02-15-2007, 10:18 PM

yeah Nara... it's closed now.

Mentioned numerous times, and especially since it closed end of last year.
