Rip-Off - not quite: Disney part funded: remember in the 60's it was near impossible for foreign investment in Japan. But Disney didnt count on a replica; so did try to sue and failed. Disney opened in Tokyo; Nara died within almost the same timeline. Story closed, but Nara was successful for 50 years!<br /><br />My last trip to Nara (Feb2012) I nearly got caught snooping around the park - its quite a sight to behold...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-45719291893730800202009-07-04T00:39:09.011-07:002009-07-04T00:39:09.011-07:00Hi... just happen to cross your site...

I am looking for photos that can show this history and maybe some back stage activities of the park in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. Anything you have, including costumes, old attraction photos, it would be appreciated. Please contact me at wilder@wilderideas.com...Thanks!
