SHANGHAI — An area featuring superhero characters of the Ultraman series has been unveiled in Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, a theme park in Shanghai.
The new area, meant to appeal to all ages, includes booths where related goods are sold. It is scheduled to fully open on Saturday.
A business agency firm representing Tsuburaya Productions Co., which produces the Ultraman series, gave the theme park permission to use the characters.
The indoor and outdoor spaces of the new area cover about 2,000 square meters in total.
A 12-meter-tall statue of Ultraman Zero towers over the area, and a total of about 400 items such as precious figures and devices for metamorphosing into Ultraman characters are exhibited.
The Ultraman series, made in Japan, is highly popular in China. A 10-year-old third-grade elementary school student in Shanghai, who visited the theme park, said: “I like Ultraman Zero. It’s fun because there’s lots of stuff I like here.”
