Calling all fans of Japanese pop culture and crystal-ball dreamers: the iconic universe imagined by Akira Toriyama could come to life just outside Paris, provided the rights are secured for the project. This prospective Dragon Ball theme park in Île-de-France, eagerly anticipated by a generation raised on Club Dorothée, promises total immersion in the saga’s legendary sets. With adrenaline-pumping rides, giant Kamehameha effects, and life-size recreations, the destination aims to lure manga and Japanese animation enthusiasts from across Europe.
A spectacular revival for the former Mirapolis site
To host this groundbreaking complex, the project backers have set their sights on a site steeped in history: the grounds of the former Mirapolis park, located in Courdimanche, near Cergy in the Val-d'Oise (95). Opened in the late 1980s and quickly forgotten after its closure, this vast expanse spanning tens of hectares is poised for a second life.
The project would not be limited to Son Goku's adventures. Two additional themed zones dedicated to major manga franchises would round out this sprawling leisure hub, turning the western Île-de-France into a true European capital of otaku culture.
When will the Dragon Ball theme park open its doors?
For the moment, the plan calls for a gradual opening. The Dragon Ball section is expected to be the first to welcome visitors, with its inauguration slated for around 2032. So, a bit more patience!
