Animator Creates Amazing Plans For Hayao Miyazaki Theme Park

Plans for the theme park to end all theme parks have been unveiled - artist Takumi has unveiled his vision for a Hayao Miyazaki wonderland.

Called Ghibli Land, the theme park recreates some of Miyazaki's best loved films - My Neighbor Totoro's treehouse, the Spirited Away bathhouse, Princess Mononoke‘s Iron Town, and a Cat Bus monorail that ferries visitors around the park.

At the heart of the park is Howl's Moving Castle. The good news? The drawings look amazing. The bad news? It hasn't been picked up by a billionaire willing to invest some dollars into the project.

Presently, if you're a Miyazaki fan, the only place for worship is Tokyo’s Ghibli Museum, designed by the master animator himself.

Take a look at the drawings below...

Theme Park Hacks

Do Your Research(01 of11)

And that goes for everyone! Before you head out for your theme park adventure, get familiar with the park’s layout and major attractions. What time does the park open? When do the fireworks start? Use this info to begin crafting a plan of attack that satisfies everyone’s interests. (credit:Getty Images)

Order Tickets Online(02 of11)

Avoid lines at the park entrance and potentially save a little cash by purchasing your tickets online. Many parks, including Walt Disney World, offer discount codes and special offers for online purchases. (credit:Getty Images)

Pick A Strategic Day To Go(03 of11)

Choose a time that not only works for your family’s schedule but one that allows you to beat the crowd. Park websites often feature advice on the best time and days to visit. (credit:Getty Images)

Arrive Early(04 of11)

Try getting to your destination a few minutes before opening. This way, you can have the park to yourself for a couple of hours before the crowd pours in. Some parks even offer special perks that let guests take advantage of extended park hours, such as Walt Disney World's Extra Magic Hours program. (credit:Getty Images)

Go Straight To the Toilets (05 of11)

Avoid multiple potty breaks by making sure everyone takes a visit to the little boys or girls room before you head to your rides of choice. (credit:Getty Images)

Popular Rides First(06 of11)

Start with a few pre-decided, “non-negotiable” activities to do together as a group before tackling the rest of the park. Avoid long lines by hitting the more popular rides as soon as the park opens. Or, skip lines altogether, by seeking out special offers that let you reserve a spot on your favorite attractions before your trip such as Disney Park's FastPass. (credit:Walt Disney World)

Go Against The Herd(07 of11)

While it’s tempting to simply follow the crowd, make an effort to go against the grain. If you see a large group of park-goers headed in a specific direction, try the opposite route. (credit:Getty Images)

Label The Little Ones(08 of11)

Keep track of your little ones by writing your phone number on a piece of paper and slipping it into a sock or other secure pocket in case of emergency. (credit:Walt Disney World)

Stick Together(09 of11)

Lets face it – not all of us are tall enough to enjoy all that a theme park has to offer. But, that doesn't mean you have to split up the group to have a good time. Make the most of family time and keep everyone satisfied by seeking out activities you can all enjoy. Thrill-seeking families can hit up some of the park's more intense rides and roller coasters while less adventurous broods can plan a day full of parades, fireworks, and walking tours (Because who wouldn't love to see where the wild things roam at Disney's Animal Kingdom?!)

Prepare And Protect Your Electronics(10 of11)

Protect your cell phone and electronics against seemingly inevitable water damage by carrying them in Ziploc bags. Be sure to pack an extra battery or portable charger in case they conk out. (credit:Getty Images)

F.O.E.(11 of11)

Fun. Over. Everything. Chances are you won’t get the opportunity to get on every ride. Just remember to have fun and let the adventure take you where it may! (credit:Walt Disney World)
