The Venus GP roller coaster was relocated to Himeji Central Park after Space World's closure. The ride reopened in 2022.
Space World was the home of the Space Eye, a 100-metre (330 ft) tall ferris wheel affording panoramic views of the park and its various attractions.[3]
In October 2016, the park opened its new Ice Aquarium ice rink. Embedded in the ice were approximately 5,000 dead fish, which caused public outrage. The park closed the attraction on 27 November.[4]
