An interactive disaster preparedness attraction experienced by about 40,000 people nationwide
It seems this interactive disaster preparedness attraction was created in 2015.
Apparently, it has already become so popular that about 40,000 people nationwide(as of March 2019) have experienced it.
There seem to be several versions of the disaster preparedness attraction, and this one, “Flood,” appears to be especially popular.
For Nishinomiya City, this was apparently the third installment, with applications opening at 0:00 on August 1, but it reached capacity that same day.
There was a video
There doesn’t seem to be an additional session
According to Nishinomiya City’s official website, there are no plans to reopen applications due to cancellations.
It may be rare for a city-sponsored event to fill up this quickly.

Poster from a previous interactive disaster preparedness attraction
This is the poster from the second installment.
This really does make you want to take part.
Finally
Rather than just being a standard disaster drill, presenting it in this kind of attraction format draws attention, so it’s probably a good way to raise awareness about disaster preparedness. That said, it does seem like it would cost quite a bit. It’s probably not easy for the city to charge people for it, either.
