Sanrio Puroland

Sanrio Puroland

nihongo|Sanrio Puroland|サンリオピューロランド|Sanrio Pyūrorando is an indoor theme park located in Tama New Town, Tokyo, Japan that attracts over 1.5 million visitors per year.

Opened on December 7, 1990, the theme park is run by the Sanrio company, and hosts various musicals, restaurants, attractions, and theme rides using popular characters such as Hello Kitty, Pochacco, Keroppi, and many more. While many of these attractions are only in Japanese, Puroland attracts many visitors from overseas as well as Japan because of the worldwide popularity of these characters. Puroland also has an extensive gift shop featuring Sanrio characters. Tourists visiting in the summer will be able to see fireworks on a daily basis.

The theme park lost money its first three years, owing to operational foul-ups and a temporary lull in Hello Kitty's popularity. Despite these setbacks, the park has become one of Japan's most popular attractions. [ [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/7.12/cute.html?pg=4&topic=&topic_set= "Cute Inc." wired.com ] ]
