I’m really glad you’re prioritizing abandoned again. I’ve been watching and subbed since you were at 90k subs and have a core memory attached to finding your channel and binge watching all of your abandoned videos. I hope this pivot brings you even more success and fulfillment.

[@BajelSilver-i2u]

yep i second the motion! this is OG josh. Don't be caught up with fake ghost hunters' negativity. I'm glad you're back at your best element- Urban abandoned exploration.

[@C99099]

Exactly this!

[@julies12345]

Yeah, I agree

[@pamelas3119]

Your right, closed amusement parks are the saddest places. These places always make me question why no other company steps up and runs these parks. This was an amazing place to see and you did an awesome job! Thanks

[@BajelSilver-i2u]

the problem is ...do people have money to spend on amusement parks anymore?let alone, people in China?

[@KiffJRockka]

@@BajelSilver-i2u People in China have more money than most, the difference is they have no time, men (China still has men, unlike EU and NA) work 16 hours a day and after work can't go home, they need to drink all night with their boss, sleep 2 hours and go back to work.

well disney is crooked af,so they deserve to be shut down. Prove me wrong.

[@heidib9243]

That was brilliant Josh. The drone shots also, just fantastic. Huge shout out to Robin, so lucky you have him with you. May have been alot different with the police if you were alone. This series has been amazing. Looking forward to the next ep.

[@justinmv023]

Josh, this is definitely one of my favorite abandoned theme parks that you've ever explored along with Nara Dreamland! It's such a beautiful, amazing, and massive theme park in China. I was amazed and jaw dropped in this place so much. Like everything are so insanely incredible. From the castle, and different kind of rides. Thank you so much for hard work, passion, and dedication for your content. Keep doing what you love and have fun exploring more abandoned places. I've been fan of you and your channel since 2017. Rise above, Josh!

[@Jenny_Ma]

All these rides once brought so much joy to so many kids and adults, and now theyre just wasting away. Kinda sad but also so interesting to see.

Josh lives such a crazy amazing life that even sitting home watching his videos is enough to immerse you and take you there yourself. Keep doing what you’re doing Josh you are finally exceeding other KZbinrs even though I know that’s not your goal, just the fact that you physically are Being so realistic with what you do brings very wholesome content to the rest of us like I said, you have a way of immersing us into where you are and I love how much you can tell how happy it makes you. you’re genuinely so excited and happy to be there and with those people, that’s amazing. most people by now would be crying they want to go back home lol but not you, you are a true explorer at heart, as I am too , but I sit and watch you instead bc I don’t have the funds or time😢but I still have you!

[@lmurph2987]

So excited for this video, Josh!! Was really happy to see this go up. Also - how cool would it be if they turned this theme park into a housing district? apartments and homes inside the castles and old rides. Little shops along the streets, NEON lights glowing through the night as people walk around the shops and eat street food. Would be an amazing aesthetic

[@moesargi]

This was a great one bro. Well done! Loved it😊

[@tomaslopez2940]

They really need to stop wasting time and money putting security at abandoned places. No point in protecting these sites if they aren't in use.

I think they do it for liability reasons.

Rethink your sponsorship with better help. They were in a lawsuit for breaking HIPAA. Many creators are dropping them as a sponsor because of what they're audience is being to their attention. Yes they bring over 10k for most creators your size but is it worth putting your views in danger?

[@jordangraybill1374]

As soon as I heard "better help" I said "Josh do better" do these people not look up what companies want to sponsor them or do they just see how much money they will get and don't care

I didn't even this place was closed! I used to see a lot of its advertisements back in high school. It seems like it was closed in early 2020 because of the pandemic. They originally planned to renovate this place but later decided to sell this land to the government in Nov 2023.

[@Cold_Cactus]

Sell to the government? How can you sell something to someone that already owns it? You know the Chinese government own every Chinese company right? Lol it's all ccp all the way down

Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 keep it up 🙏

[@karvanznlife9227]

Josh the reason for the haze is that it's actually smog created by pollution from factories

[@slapdat.byteme]

Correct. I moved to China in ‘97 for a 2-yr assignment and it took a week or so for me to realize that the sun and blue skies were up there, and that what I took to be cloudy haze was actually air pollution / smog.

[@sibendi]

It’s a city like London bro…it rains all the time and has a lot of fogs. Western media influence is just..amusing.. it seriously makes you look stupid.

13:23 When you showed the motorcycle themed ride called the “UFO” I had to comment! There’s an active amusement park with the exact same set up but it’s actually alien themed called the UFO 🛸 in Kennywood.

[@i_l0v3catssm]

*To Josh* Ive been watching you for about 3years and a half and i love ur vids! To the point i showed my mom and she even liked it. Everytime i watch your vids it makes me smile how u travel round the world to go to abandoned places and just spend time trying to perfect it . Thank you for being amazing 😊

[@mystarry9684]

I went to China many years ago. Like the 80s. I was young then, and full of life. I was detained leaving and they took my visa and passport. I sat on a concrete floor for over an hour with barbed wire behind me. In all my travels I was never so scared. I never knew what the issue was. China was very strict back then. The guards were armed and walked by twos with star hats and arm bands up and down along the length of the train. Josh I freak out every time you're exploring in China. I'm grateful they have been so cool with you. I think you Chinese companions have really helped you out. Thank you to your guides. And thanks for a cool and interesting video.

[@arjanpetersen]

you were probably agt the wrong place at the wrong moment. They probably had some quota to make

[@isabellanopens9254]

Gotta say I didn’t have a great experience in China either I had a lady at the airport smack my phone out of the way when I tried to use a translator and I had hotel staff refuse to help me after demanding I give them my passport until I checked out of the hotel

So they are spending money to protect an abandoned theme park, almost like a military installation, and you can go to prison for entering it? All this despite the fact that nothing on the site has any value anymore, and they obviously have no plans to reopen it. Why?

Fanta actually is a big brand in China and they have got more than 10 theme parks all across different cities in China. The one mentioned in the video is only phase 1 of the Wuhu city's Fantaland. Actually there are phase 2, 3 and 4 of the theme park in the same city. Sadly phase 1, 2 and 3 have been closed down since Covid and only phase 4 of the Wuhu city's Fantaland is still operating now. Phase 1 is actually located near the downtown area of Wuhu city so rumor has it that the government has other plans for this abandoned park

The way you explained your love for exploring is the same way I look at it, too! One summer I was visiting Canada's wonderland with my mom. Before we left, I sat on the parking lot ground as the sun set and just stared at it. I said to my mom, "man I couldn't imagine how this place would go abandoned. But it would look soon cool to see once a bunch of fun time memories over grown in vines and get reclaimed by nature." She just looked at me like I was crazy. Meh I just enjoy looking at the parks. I love urban exploring and get too scared to go places. If you are in the area I know some great places!
