The Studio Ghibli Theme Park set to open this year will open with most of the major exhibits that were originally announced. However, one is being delayed and more announcements of future projects have been made to soften the blow this might make to some fans planning to be there on opening day.
The Studio Ghibli Theme Park is set to open on November 1st in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagakute, a town near Nagoya. The park will have five sections inspired by different Studio Ghibli films upon completion, and will be the first theme park to have a Ghibli theme in the world.

On November 1st, three sections of the park will be opening to the public.
These are Dondoko Forest from My Neighbor Totoro, the Hill of Youth from Whisper of the Heart, and Ghibli’s Grand Warehouse.
