Sega has an amusement center in Tokyo where you can ride a mechanical snowboard on a half pipe and play classic arcade games like Typing of the Dead. Between November 13 and December 23, you’ll see Persona characters in Tokyo Joypolis too.
When players enter Tokyo Joypolis they’ll be greeted by a special movie starring Teddie. The half pipe ride will have Persona music like "Burn My Dread" from Persona 3 and "Best Friends" from Persona 4 Arena. Fortune Forest, an area where you can get fortune printouts, will have a Persona Q themed fortune and you can buy Persona drinks.
Tokyo Joypolis will have some neat Persona themed decorations like panels that show your with a Persona and voices of the Persona 3 & Persona 4 protagonists welcoming you when you enter.
What’s interesting about this collaboration is this is one of the early collaborations Sega did with Atlus since acquiring the Persona developer. Aside from this and distributing Persona 4 Arena Ultimax in Europe, Sega has pretty much let Atlus run things the way they want.
