It really wasn't good it seems. I went there recently, took many pictures and explained my exploration. If you want to see it, it's here: http://www.meow.fr/urbex/nara-dreamland-haikyo/.

I swear, it looks like something out of low-grade, SyFy channel horror film, created on the cheap to imply that terrible events are taking place at Disneyland, but they can't use the real thing or the real name. Oh, and it wasn't creepy enough, now it's abandoned. Which does bring up the question... in the most densely populated country in the world, how does something that size stay abandoned for long? Seems like that land would have a bit of a premium on it. Does anyone else find these incredibly cheesy knock-offs of iconic Disney stuffs to be somehow sad and creepy?

Sure, they may have wanted to bring a similar experience at a lower price, but at the same time, how could Nara Dreamland expect to meet the standards of, or even compete with, Disney? Disney is more than just a company- its a legacy.. And while its a shame that someone's time and effort has gone to waste, it really had to be expected....
