This is sad news for all Ultraman fans... But wait! Was Ultraman Land updated with attractions from Ultra Galaxy and Ultramen that was introduced in the 2010s?
I feel that this is an end to an era....
This is very sad. I wished more toku fans of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider would support Ultraman like I do. Ultraman is one of the earliest Tokusatsu franchisees ever along with Godzilla. I would hate to see it fold.
Yes
No.
seems like it would be something toei could buy and open for there properties...except they already have tokyo dome city so idk if they will do it
WTF are you saying?! Toei will never buy Tsuburaya!
They need to release another theme park combining ultraman, masked man, super sentai heroes altogether. They can add famous anime like macross, naruto, etc. to make it more enticing to the visitors.
My father in law has an unhealthy obsession with Ultraman. He tried so hard to get to the theme park but it closed before he made it. Does anyone know if or where I could get some type of memorabilia from the park... like ordering it offline or anything? Thanks for any help.
