Space World Japan To Close In December 2017

Seems satellites work. And the ride is now at Rusutsu

I'm trying to find a source for these pics. I saw them posted in a Chinese speaking QQ group but I assume they have come from somewhere else. If anyone happens to find the original source please let me know and I'll edit the post.

Interesting! Anybody know if Rusutsu bought and then later sold the ride or if the two parks are affiliated at all?

Was on a bit of a internet wormhole (starting with Desperado and onto TitanMAX which spited me) and it seems that Space World is now "outlet shops world", that's progress for ya?

Screams of Opryland to me. A well loved park that got turned into shops to make a quick buck. Even Gaylord admit Oprylands closure was a mistake now. Wonder how this one will fare.

In storage is a generous term for abandoned the park clearly had grand plans but most of it has been left to rot for the last few years. From the now very overgrown dinosaur park to the half finished hotel the place doesn't look like it's coming back unfortunately.
