Yokohama Dreamland

The management company, Japan Dream Tourism, was acquired by the supermarket chain Daiei in 1993, and the amusement park closed permanently on February 17, 2002, due to financial issues.

At the time of its closing, the amusement park was downsized to 145,776 square metres (170,000 sq yd).

In September 1967, however, service on the line was suspended, due to structural issues resulting from engineering problems encountered in its construction.

The closure was expected to be temporary, but a protracted legal battle over responsibility for the monorail's problems ensued, during which its infrastructure deteriorated significantly.
