Tokyo-based Tsuburaya Productions announced on Feb. 14 that it will close the Ultraman Land amusement park in Arao, Kumamoto on Sept. 1. The only theme park in Japan devoted to the red and white superhero, Ultraman Land has seen annual admissions in recent years fall to around 100,000, a quarter of its initial year mark.

Don't know if this should be at ORB sub-thread or not.
Seen the video some years ago and really want to go there.

I guess this is pretty damn obvious by now, but the Ultra Franchise really, really needs a new show...

Agreed.

But then, a lot of people have been saying it's been long past time to get another Ultraman TV show on the air, not just annual movies, or DVD series.

I keep reading the thread title as "Ultraman to land close this September." :laugh:

That's just beyond too good to be true.

And it got one.
