SegaWorld


SegaWorld and Sega Park are names referring to one of a number of theme parks and arcades worldwide, including installations in the United Kingdom, China, Australia and Japan and owned and operated by Sega. The parks sought to promote Sega games while providing entertainment based on its licenses, while the Japanese Sonictown in an Joypolis park, created an entire world based on Sonic the Hedgehog alone. Currently, the only SegaWorld arcades that remain open are in Japan, despite most of them becoming unbranded Sega arcades.

Metropolis was the first Sega-themed arcade in the UK. The arcade was housed in the basement of Hamleys' Regent Street branch, as a SEGA-dedicated coin-op den. The arcade contained a rare R-360 motion simulator. Metropolis changed its name to Sega World, and later The Game Zone throughout the years. The arcade was replaced with a franchised 'Game' outlet at the end of 2003.

This Sega arcade was located In Queens Ice and Bowl bowling alley in Bayswater, London. Planet Sega closed around the early 2000s and was replaced with a generic arcade.

This Sega Park was housed in the Oriental City Shopping Centre and had opened as Sega Dome in 1993. It became a "Sega Park & Casino" when the other Sega arcades in the UK were renamed due to SegaWorld in the Trocadero Centre opening. The arcade closed for good on 1 June 2008 when Oriental City closed due to the buyout of the centre by a property developer. The building has since been demolished, and as of 2016, a Morrisons supermarket now occupies the area.
