Abandoned sites have a certain mystique, and no two are alike.

Amusement parks are an opportunity to explore the machinery behind these magic kingdoms.

But for me, the scene is always tinged with sadness. Coasters and bumper cars rusted and forgotten, reclaimed by nature.

Look up the Proper People. They did a video of Six Flags New Orleans closed after Katrina.

I think it's that contrast of something that was once so full of fun and laughter now hauntingly sad and creepy.

I find a deep sadness inside seeing them. It's like a ghost town of fun lost.

What a coincidence. My sister and I were just talking about abandoned amusement parks the other day, lol.

There's a whimsical nostalgia to them, a feeling of happier & more carefree days.

So cool !!
I'm surprised they allow that ferris wheel to remain up. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I would love to explore them!

Lost youth ?

Oooh we have one close. It fascinates a lot of people.

Has a weird energy 🙃

As long as they still have the sideshows I’m good! 👍

never seen or been in one, but it could be interesting,

The eerie feeling of a place where once thousands would crowd, now neglected, almost haunted by the memories of things that once were.

Imagine going there at midnight. 🫥

Liability insurance gets to be too high.

Why can't you just admit you're looking for all the coins that fell out of everybodys pockets.

One can hear the squeals of delight!!

Moose out front should have told you ...
