Posted by GhibliFanatic on 01.13.2020, 04:50 AM: Ghibli Theme Park I just read Ghiblis new year's message that mentions that they are building a Ghibli Theme Park (to be opened in 2022)! The museum is great, but - let's be honest - Ghibli Park sounds like much more fun.

Posted by arren18 on 01.13.2020, 06:43 AM: I remember hearing about that some time ago, but I've forgotten the details. I definitely knew there were theme park plans though.

Posted by husky51 on 01.13.2020, 12:46 PM: I wish that I still lived in Japan. I never got to see the Museum and now, I'll probably miss out on the Park...

Posted by saviour2012 on 01.18.2020, 01:00 PM: I guess this is an active plan that Studio Ghibli is pursuing.

Posted by arren18 on 01.18.2020, 07:08 PM: From what I can remember, I seem to think a part of why they haven't made any films lately was the lack of availability of people that would be involved in the production. That would also explain why Miyazaki's new film is taking a while to come to fruition.

Posted by husky51 on 03.09.2020, 02:53 AM: Increases my desire to be there in person which, unfortunately, is not likely to happen... sigh... I can only hope to observe, vicariously, by long distance... lol |

Posted by husky51 on 07.25.2020, 12:29 AM: Thank you for the update, arren... Looks very interesting... |
Posted by rompglide on 09.24.2020, 08:32 PM: Any updates about the theme park? |
Posted by arren18 on 09.25.2020, 04:27 PM: I had a little look just now, but it doesn't seem as if there's been any more news lately. I expect that under the current circumstances, things aren't moving forward very quickly.

Posted by arren18 on 01.27.2022, 06:45 AM: It's been a while, but we actually have some significant updates on this now! Apart from some news trickling out about what stuff they're going to have at the park, today we also got an opening date - the first three areas will be opening this November!
|
Posted by arren18 on 06.02.2022, 04:09 PM: Since the last news I shared about the Ghibli Park, there have been a few updates on ticket prices and things. The latest is that one of the areas which was meant to open next year, mainly featuring things from Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle, is being put off a bit longer so they can spend more time on the details: https://twitter.com/GhibliTavern/status/1532331521268453377

Posted by arren18 on 10.31.2022, 05:30 AM: The Ghibli Park (or the first three out of five areas anyway) officially opens tomorrow!
|
Posted by iwatchmovies on 11.03.2022, 12:05 AM: I want to go there sometime. Maybe next year
|
Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2022, 06:20 AM: I would love to go, but I think it'll be a while before it's realistic for me. Maybe by that time they'll have opened more of the different areas though.
|
Posted by arren18 on 11.02.2023, 04:43 PM: The first of the additional areas is now open! https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2023/...hemed-area.html

Posted by husky51 on 11.02.2023, 07:08 PM: Sheesh!!! Approaching the front of that Okkoto would scare the heck oughta me if I was a small kid!!! lol
|
Posted by arren18 on 11.03.2023, 04:26 AM: Haha, I also found it a bit funny that they chose such an intimidating design for a children's slide.
|
Posted by arren18 on 03.20.2024, 09:51 AM: Oh, an update I forgot to post: the fifth and final area opened on Saturday! https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2024/...to-public.html?
