(Chernobyl Vibes) Abandoned Soviet Theme Park Where the Rides Still Work

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

My friend just came back here and told me it's all been torn down. RIP Chernobyl style theme park.

[@bonniekaye]

That is sad. 😢 Glad that you were able to film it beforehand.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

@@bonniekaye :( Thanks Bonnie, me too! It was crazy timing that I got there before it was torn down

[@taralewis2606]

Wow, you got there just in time!! 😳

[@MrL4t3]

Glad you had a chance to preserve history.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

@@MrL4t3 Thanks man, me too!!

[@TXBULL195]

fun fact: that was a Schwarzkopf Jet Star 2 coaster 1 of 30 in the world. It was first made 1969 and had a top speed of 45 mph. There are only 3 still running today.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Hey I didn't know that actually. This theme park is completely torn down now. Not sure if they saved this coaster or not.

[@ignasquattro]

@@InfamousCrimeLocations The coaster still stands there, exactly as you see in the video :) Although the area is cleaned, converted to a nice park with paths and amphitheater stage, but the coaster is still there, newly fenced all around the perimeter.

[@doesitrllymatter.]

@@ignasquattro i my self love rollercoasters .but I’ve never been on a jet star 2 the closest thing I’ve been on is the Ziere Flitzer

[@micoasters]

I love Schwarzkopf, the only one I’ve ridden is whizzer at great America and it was fun. Even giving some airtime. Would love to get to Indiana beach or lagoon to ride a jet star. They shoulda pushed the car up the lift and got a credit

[@everythingentertainmentwit8613]

When you pointed toward big ferris wheel thought you was going to climb up on was like don't do it bro lol

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Haha that would have been extremely dangerous. I only climbed a little bit on the coaster but that was enough. Lol. Thanks man

[@susanmiller4159]

What a cool adventure! Sounds almost like it’s open with the laughter in the background. ❤️

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Thank you Susan!! It was a fun explore. Lots of people from the town still explore and hang out there. :)

[@stateofdisorder1]

Abandoned amusement parks always make me sad. Awesome vid hun.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

I know definitely. It's like all the fun times are now erased from that park. Although we were trying to have as much fun with the abandoned place as we could.

[@zachcoastercrazy4032]

This place was called Vaikų Pasaulis. Found it on RCDB. that Jet Star II was the only coaster to operate there.

[@GeneralGorillaSonicOC]

That would be hilarious if you could move the ferris wheel by hand.

[@Jdubdoingshit]

It would……. Well until it breaks and crushes u of course

[@taralewis2606]

Very cool place and great video!! 🎡 Great music too. Still had kind of a haunting vibe to me for some reason. You were a brave soul to climb up the 🎢 rollercoaster! Looks like you’re really having a good time. Thanks for sharing, and Stay Safe out there!! 😎

[@bonniekaye]

This video blew me away! This was a "grand slam" of an exploration!! Wish I were there! I love this! Thank you Eric, for all of your hard work making these amazing videos for us! 👍 👍

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

😀👍👊 Thanks so much as always Bonnie. It was a cool discovery. I'm glad I can show you guys places that some people can't be able to go to. Thank you for watching. If it weren't for you all, I wouldn't be here

[@scgamerchannel1276]

Look at this , 50,000 people used to play here in the amusement park but now it's a ghost park But the rides still work :)

[@kristineguetschow9134]

Another nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to stay there! It does seem pretty creepy to be honest. Thanks for the tour! LET!

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Lithuania is very safe but I know what you mean. I'm sure after dark the theme park attracts alot of scary individuals. That's why we didn't stay too long

[@SueGirling68]

Hi, a really neat place made better because you can still kind of get a feel for how things used to be before it closed. Awesome video, thanks for sharing. x

[@chrischrispypiceynskicritt3164]

Awesome bro. wish I could afford to go to places like that. That amazing. Thanks for the video bro. You ROCK!!!

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Hey thanks Chris. I'm sorry you can't go to all these places but at least you can see them through my eyes for free. :)

[@pommydiva1]

what a shame someone didnt purchase the theme park and restore it before it got too bad (someone posted its been pulled down now) kids and adults love these type of rides.

[@riverbender9898]

What a cool place! It must have brought a lot happiness while it operated. So neat that it's still fun. Thanks.

[@andrewriccardella8768]

This park never opened it was due to open just after the exsplostion.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Hey man, this was a similar theme park in Lithuania. Different than the one in chernobyl.

[@djs2356]

That Schwarzkopf Jet Star could run again with a lot of refurbishment. Since its German made, it could last a thousand years or more...........................

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Schwarzkopf was ahead of his time, it's amazing how smooth his coasters are considering he designed and built them by hand

[@Komainu959]

Pretty amazing some of them still work. You'd think they would frozen with rust.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

I know right, definitely what I was thinking! Appreciate you watching!

[@gregr7615]

Awesome video again buddy! The game in the arcade is actually a vintage bowling arcade game. Has a small ball your rolled into pins that hang down. Very collectable now in the US at least.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Ahh thank you Greg! It definitely looked like an collectible item.

[@johnh.2357]

As always, great video Harmin !

[@EllicottCity1]

Very cool~ glad you had some company for this explore! As always, safe travels & have fun😊

[@Adam-bi3qb]

That rollercoaster looks amazing

[@danna660]

This place looks sketchy for when it would have been opened. I would not have got on Those even then

[@zachcoastercrazy4032]

I really do not recommend climbing on those rides. Even though steel is strong, when not maintained, it can become weak and could snap off, or you could fall off. This will not happen if a park is still operating, because the rides are inspected consistently, and older parts are taken care of or replaced.

[@zachcoastercrazy4032]

@David Molyneux with a ton more pressure than that.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Even weakened they can probably still support a 200 pound person. These structures are built to handle 2-5 Gs of force

[@zachcoastercrazy4032]

@@AdamSmith-gs2dv somehow forgot about that. But still good to proceed with caution

[@toughmanrandysavage3077]

If I was you I would have pushed that coaster car to the top and tried to ride it. I bet you could have done that

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Ohh man, that would have been interesting. Haha.

[@emilys1806]

What am amazing Jet Star Schwarzkopf coster! So great to see another one with a circular lift, even if it's abandoned. Just ride my park's Schwarzkopf whizzer Sunday. Truly a unique coaster and a gem that you got to see that one.

[@nathanlopez5667]

The whizzer is great we used to have it at California's Great America

[@djs2356]

the Whizzer model is the "Jumbo Jet"............love-m!

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

So sad seeing a Schwarzkopf Jet Star II abandoned. There aren't many of them left and from what I have heard they are very fun rides. I rode Tigrr coaster at Indiana Beach which is a Jet Star I and I remember it being extremely fun and intense for a small coaster

[@H1PP1E88]

that coaster looks like "primeval whirl" to an extent. This make sense, however, because this was designed by the same person.(I think, I could be very wrong)

[@bennickss]

Shame that schwarzkopf jetstar 2 met such a bitter end.. permanent abandonment.

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

That ride is called the cage it can swing all way up with force go down like ferris wheel. We used have them at park no longer exzizt

[@jukingeo]

The broken game is a shuffle-bowler, not a skeeball. In shuffle-bowling, you have a metal puck that you toss down the lane (like shuffleboard), and it "knocks down" the pins at the other end. I put knocks down in quotes because the puck goes over sensors and the pins actually pull up and out of the way as if they were knocked down.

[@grandmacarla4258]

Just subscribed. Looks like your channel could be a lot of fun! The rides don't look really well made. Soviet era savings? Look forward to seeing more.

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Hi Carla!! Thank you very much for subscribing! I really appreciate it. Yeah pretty cheaply made but it was because they didn't have much money to put into it to begin with

[@slayjsjjs2637]

[@carlavision6143]

Harmon, long time no see! Really enjoyed your video! Wish I could explore a place like this! I'd like to have those swings in my backyard.

[@illburnmyselfforreal]

Sad they tore it down, also, why??

[@askjeevescosby2928]

If I won the lottery ide buy that jet star coaster tommorrow. That's a rare and fun ride. There is only one that operates in the US called tigr coaster at Indiana beach. These things use to be everywhere but since have all been scrapped. I bet all the cars were taken for parts to keep others running. If I was you I would have got that train on the track and tried to ride the thing lol. Ide also grab those swinging carts. They use to have those at like every park in the US chippewa lake had them and were abandond on the property for years. I wish I had the money to both save old coasters, rides, and certain cars I like. Ide have a park to let people experience all the classic rides. A place where family's could take their kids to ride things they rode when they were there age or for coaster enthusiasts to experience rides that have been extinct in perfect condition.

[@amusement420]

@6:45 & 10:10 Others have commented on the Schwarzkopf designed roller coaster. Cedar Point in Ohio used to have a similar ride called Jumbo Jet. It's been moved to Maine, Sweden, and Russia and Belarus (but not here).

[@nicoleb3193]

What is the name of this closed run down park?

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Vauku pausalis. Probably spelled it wrong

[@michaelhobbs3105]

Shame they could not restore the park due to health and safety and money. They must have got authority permission to be there as tight security would not allow you to just enter an abandoned theme park due to the danger and ruined rides you would be caught by security these days.

[@gregfeil2941]

So, guys, where are the rides that still work?

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

Well the rides that we could push ourselves like the swings, the cage pusher etc. So they still work in the sense that we could still use them
