PokéPark (theme park)
Pokémon the Park 2005, or PokéPark, is, as its name implies, a theme park devoted to Pokémon. It is located on the fomer site of the Sasashima Cargo Station in Nakamura Ward, Nagoya, Aichi (Sasashima Live 24 Land Redevelopment Project Site) in Japan. It opened on March 18, 2005, and closed on September 25, 2005. A second PokéPark was opened in Taiwan in 2006.
Admission to the park is free, but there is a fee for each attraction visited. Prepaid e-money, or Edy cards, are available online and can be used to pay for attractions in the park. Buying a special PokéPark Edy card enables holders to special offers and gifts. These cards were offered from November 19, 2004 to February 28, 2005.
There are a total of twelve attractions in addition to a game arcade, an event stage, shops, and cafés.
The park's attractions were prominently featured in "Hello! Thank You!", the fifth Pokémon Sunday ending.
