A look inside a creepy abandoned theme park
69Dreamland is a theme park located in Nara, Japan which opened in 1961. It was heavily inspired by American theme park Disneyland and has several similarities to the popular attraction.
It enjoyed several successful years after opening due to the lack of a Disneyland in Japan, but that all changed in 1983 when Tokyo Disneyland arrived in the country.
Dreamland slowly started to lose popularity to the newer attraction and was eventually closed and left abandoned in 2006.
Many of the props, rides and games were completely intact and left in the theme park, giving off the eerie feeling of being in a ghost town.
Dreamland was destroyed in 2016 and is now in the process of being turned into homes.
