Niigata Joypolis (新潟ジョイポリス), later Magic City @ Niigata Joypolis (マジックシティ@新潟ジョイポリス) was a Joypolis amusement theme park opened by Sega. The second Joypolis created by the company nearly a year and a half after the launch of the original Yokohama location, it proved to perform poorly, and by April 1998 had its operations outsourced to foreign company Magic City Co. Ltd.[2]
Under its new ownership, the park was renamed Magic City @ Niigata Joypolis, losing several of its original attractions and décor on the ground floor.[3] Several new restaurants and traditional theme park rides occupied their space, utilising a electronic card payment system.[4] It closed permanently in January 2001[1], with the site redeveloped to become a new entertainment complex in the following years.
