Yokohama Cosmo World (よこはまコスモワールド, Yokohama Kosumo Wārudo) is a theme park in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It contains the Cosmo Clock 21, formerly the tallest Ferris wheel in the world.[1][2] It is since 1999 home to a unique coaster from Senyo Kogyo, named Diving Coaster: Vanish.[3]
The park is open year-round, and admission is free, but visitors must purchase individual ride tickets or a day pass to enjoy the attractions.[4]
Yokohama cosmo world is managed by the Senyo Kogyo company. It is located in the Minato Mirai 21 District of Yokohama. It spans between the towns of Shinko in Naka ward, and Minato Mirai in Nishi ward.
Originally used for the Yokohama Exotic Showcase exhibition in 1989, the Cosmo Clock 21 ferris wheel was part of the "Cosmo World Children’s Republic." After the exhibition had ended, it was decided that the Cosmo Clock 21 would continue operation, and operation of Cosmo World continued. At that time, Cosmo World was adjacent to Nippon Maru Memorial park, and took up only 23 blocks of Minato Mirai district.
After this, it was decided that Cosmo world would be expanded and the Cosmo Clock 21 ferris wheel would be moved toward opposite shore in Shinko district, as a result of Minato Mirai district noticeably expanding. Work including the relocation of the ferris wheel began in 1997 and the park was temporarily closed. The park was partially opened in 1998, and officially reopened on March 18th, 1999.
