Facts and practical information

Expoland was a former amusement park that once attracted crowds of guests in search of fun and adrenaline in the city of Osaka, Japan. The park, which opened its doors in 1970, was one of the most important tourist attractions in the region, offering a variety of attractions, including classic carousels, thrilling roller coasters, and themed entertainment zones for the whole family.

One of the most famous attractions of Expoland was the roller coaster named Fujin Raijin II, which attracted thrill-seekers from all over the country. The park was also the venue for numerous seasonal events and festivals, which added color and attracted additional visitors.

Unfortunately, the park's history was marked by tragedy in 2007 when there was an accident on one of the roller coasters, which led to the death of one person and injured many others. This accident triggered a series of safety inspections and ultimately led to the closure of the park in 2009.
