Expoland Park Shutdown
Posted by Kyle Yates in Kansai Area News, Kansai Parks
Expoland closed last Saturday as a result of the rollercoaster crash that sadly killed one young woman. It is still closed and there has been no date set for the reopening of the park.
Expoland has currenly disabled all links to information on the park in their home page in both Japanese and English. The only message available is a one expressing their condolences and a brief description of the tragic accident, their decision to close the park and try to keep any further accidents like the one on May 8th, 2007 from ever happening again.
