Niigata Joypolis (新潟ジョイポリス) was a Joypolis amusement theme park opened by Sega. The second of the Joypolis venues to be opened by Sega[1], it proved to perform poorly, and by April 1998 had its operations outsourced to foreign company Magic City Co. Ltd. as part of a restructuring.
Under the new ownership, the park was renamed to "Magic City @ Niigata Joypolis", adopting different décor and electronic card payments for its attractions in the process. It closed permanently sometime in 2000 due to low visitor numbers.
