In Shinsekai, just a few steps from Nishinari, the largest slum area in Japan, in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, there was an 8-story facility called "Festival Gate" that combined an amusement park and a commercial facility. The amusement park was modeled after an ancient city that sank to the bottom of the sea, and the highlight was the roller coaster "Delpis the Coaster," which was about 750 meters long, had a maximum slope of about 50 degrees, and a maximum speed of about 100 km/h. The lanes were set up on the outside of the building, penetrating through it, giving the building a unique appearance. In addition, there were other amusement facilities on each floor of the 8-story building, such as a merry-go-round and shooting games. The commercial facility zone also housed many restaurants, accessory stores, game centers, and even a movie theater on the 7th floor. Located in a place with good access from Namba and Tennoji, Osaka's downtown, it was a huge success as an urban amusement park and commercial facility when it first opened in 1997, but why was it forced to close after 10 years? This time, I would like to learn about the origins of Festival Gate and see the few remnants of it that still remain today. 0:00 Opening 2:32 Overview of the facility and how it opened 8:46 Opening and bankruptcy 13:14 After bankruptcy - until closing 16:37 Remnants of the Festival Gate #Bubble Heritage #Bubble Collapse #Amusement Park #Nishinari [References] https://shinsekai.jp/blog/2022/02/08/... https://shinsekai.jp/blog/2018/08/20/... https://osakadeep.info/festival-gate/... http://kozaru98.fc2web.com/kouen/sono... https://gigazine.net/news/20090612_fe... https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festiv... https://toppy.net/special/080808.html http://drkssk27.web.fc2.com/zekkyou/f... https://ameblo.jp/boxerhiko/entry-125... http://gingatetsudo2012.com/100shinse... • [4K60P] 2000 Osaka Festival Gate Delpis the Coaster...
