Info
Joypolis (Japanese: ジョイポリス, Hepburn: Joiporisu) is an amusement park chain that was first opened on July 20, 1994 in Yokohama, Japan. Joypolis centers have since opened in several cities in Japan and China with the parks featuring arcade games and amusement rides based on Sega intellectual properties.Overall, 9 Joypolis theme parks have been opened, but as of 2016, only five parks remain operational: three in Japan (Odaiba, Tokyo; Umeda, Osaka and Okayama) and two in China (Qingdao and Shanghai). The rest of the parks have closed due to low visitor numbers. The Odaiba, Umeda and Qingdao parks are currently operated by CA Sega Joypolis, With the Okayama park operated by Sega Entertainment, and the Shanghai park is operated by Hong Kong-based ChinaAnimation. Sega announced in 2016 that China Animations would acquire a majority stake in Sega Live Creation (now CA Sega Joypolis) for 600 million yen, effective January 2017. The parks are no longer fully controlled by Sega with the exception of the Joypolis in Okayama.
Similar parks, owned in whole or part by Sega, called SegaWorld or GameWorks are also in existence.
