The American Adventure Theme Park Re-Visit (Abandoned)

[@johncronin4274]

Great to see someone who gets as excited and is as fascinated by abandoned places, to which we have a personal historic connection, as I do.

[@SibriNottingham]

So sad, it breaks my heart to see it like this. I worked there for the first three seasons and helped to get it ready for opening in 1987.

[@TheQashqaiGuy]

thanks for the upload. almost brought a tear to my eye seeing it almost flattened. had many fun days out there as a kid

[@Bunnymoonstone]

American Adventure brings back so many memories. I used to go all the time when i was a child. It was a great theme park.

[@CALLUMANNA]

Came here once in 1989 and 1990,and it was a sound day out. It was nice and spread out and good rides....Good old days.

[@kylieb5163]

So upsetting to see my childhood memories like this now :(

[@thewr0ngchild]

I was born in Derby and have many happy memories of this place. The day it closed was a very sad one indeed. I loved the cowboy shows!

[@georgirp]

I miss this place so much. Had a look myself back in 2014, couldn't really find much at all.

[@rapidman1376]

Not been here since 1992-3 when we used to there on a school trip every year. Sad to see it go :(

[@clairefunnell8481]

Shame that their is nothing left. I've never heard of this park. Good video. Greetings from Toronto Canada August 2020.

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Claire Funnel It was a cool park with Wild West themed areas. thanks for watching :) greetings from the UK

[@laurakey-woodings4088]

Great video thank you :). Used to go to the park all the time when I was a kid! Such happy memories there. So sad seeing it like it is now its quite scary! Would of loved to go when it first closed! Had a look down there in 2013 couldn't really get in n see much tho..

[@leeglasbyvoiceover]

Great video, worked there for 3 years. Not been back since it was all knocked down. Sad but happy to see.

[@AminMuradTV]

Visited here literally a couple of days ago...so sad to see this place go. SO many incredible childhood memories..I wish a developer would buy it and re-open back to the original.

[@declansalmon8446]

[@Thejollyroger1978]

Good fishing lake to

[@andrewgray957]

@@Thejollyroger1978 are there fish in there ?

[@johnsavage3910]

One of the boats from the log flume still exists today. It was turned into a pond and sits on a front garden in Alfreton Derbyshire. Rumour has it and this is pure speculation that a man who owns the boat use to work at the park.

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Seen it ahah there's also one at a kids play farm and one in a scrap yard as decoration Would love one on the garden

[@ThomasWilliams89]

Nature is reclaiming the land. Used to go to this park when I was like 11/12 back in 2001. Good times.

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

seen some pictures from recently and all the flowers are back, looks lovely

[@20OneAtlantean]

Nice one for recording the last rites of this place dude

[@SilverRook]

wow. haunting seeing the place after so many years. used to come here on the Staffordshire "s.p.a.c.e." scheme from school in the 80s into the 90s..... start of my early gaming happened here. used to come here for the arcades..... thanks for the upload.

[@GenaFrog]

It is shocking. I used to go to riding stables in Shipley park which was included in the Britannia park/ American adventure and where the horses in the Wild West show were stabled. I used to ride around the lake and saw dragonflies and windsurfers and a park ranger used to watch a barrier and raise it for us to access the riding school. Glad you went back here, this place should never have been built as it was never a half decent theme park unlike Alton Towers. I lived and worked in Kimberley and we often had tickets on our counter giving a discount which was the only time we used to go. We found we could walk around the lake a dozen times in a day and were so bored. I'm disgusted the trees have been bulldozed. Such a heartbreaking shame. Suppose now it's a brownfield site it will become housing. Very sad.

[@jamesexplores7887]

Very good video :D Been looking forward to this

[@DIDCOTTWIST]

The missile coaster that was there was the first upsidedown coaster I ever went on 😢😢

[@icecoldprincess2009]

Anyone else remember how bad the original entrance got before they moved it??? I know that the last time I went through that entrance I almost broke my neck on the tiles.

[@arsenewenger30]

I remember coming here in 1989...I loved it :)

[@MarkPickers86]

😞😞😢😢😢😢😢😢 all gone nothing but a memory now

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

@@MarkPickers86 Sad ay, I made a video of the place recently. Only a tiny bit left now

[@JETJOOBOY]

We need to find out the story... this place is a fucking legend! It WILL NOT BE STOLE FROM US

[@ExploringAndMe]

great explore man greatings from holland :)

[@aarankirk5780]

Great video, Pal 👍

[@flopsycox]

right in the childhood

[@scarface822]

I live about a mile away from there and started going there in 80s last time I went was to a fireworks display about 2003

[@kcvids816]

Now that's my kind of theme park ;)

[@JETJOOBOY]

Also the Heritage Lottery Fund paid for the Pit Head to be turned into a monument but it is fenced off...?

[@mikeloveskimbo]

Great video ;)

[@siddals7920]

I won a medal for panning for gold here

[@twntodaywithniall7702]

could you go back to Camelot theme park again and see the changes I think they have started to remove the building thanks again for a good vlog niall

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Might do late in the summer , security are pretty good now and ain't no chance of me getting up the big ride so might skip But will see what trip brings aha if the weather is good will have a look

[@JETJOOBOY]

Why didn't the council use the car park (traditionally used to learn to drive safely) into a CRB site or off road sponsored driving school area?

[@IKS-Exploration]

Interesting explore :)

[@lacsuglypoopy]

Hello again

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Not much there but because it's a part of my childhood it outdoes a lot of actual explores aha , thanks :)

[@lacsuglypoopy]

It's sad they destroyed all the the trees and grass I'm one of the people to see it all green with trees and stuff

[@Rollingforwards]

+Douglas the basement dweller i have a recent video with the trees still uncut, last time i went in there, i could hear a air rifle being fired, and there was a gang of chavs hanging around so i decided to leave, but it is indeed a shame the site has been cleared.

[@ExploringAndMe]

always sad ussualy when they cut the trees its before a demolishment :( wich is the case here so sad they demolished so much !

[@NBMedia8928]

good video:-)

[@jono_high]

Is this place easy to get onto? Is it fenced off a lot, or is it just easily accessible?

[@stratpluslover8391]

ive visited the site a couple of times this year and its really sad to see it as it is now . are you aloud to walk on the site without being a problem at all

[@annhudson9506]

You can drive in now, the houses are up for sale, £600,000 plus! 😡

[@Rollingforwards]

i walk around that area a lot, i have not been in the site tho for a few months.

[@annhudson9506]

You should see it now, houses built, lake made smaller, all the trees gone. 😡

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Have seen yeah! Not good! The houses… okay, but filling in some of the lake is a massive travesty!

[@H9Gamings]

Looks cool, but would be much better to see this type of thing in real life i bet

[@JETJOOBOY]

Why isn't there a CAR BOOT site A la Donnington Market on there...?

[@mattzarella4169]

Is it legal to look around this place?

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

It’s trespassing, but in the UK that’s not illegal as it’s only a civil law. Unfortunately the site is a building site now so isn’t much point as everything has gone :/

[@anthonybowler674]

no there is going to be 1000 houses,hotel.n shops.iv flew over there today with a phantom

[@derelictCHEESEBURGER]

Back in 2012 we saw some people fishing on what was left of the pier aha

[@thecarpfather5757]

derelictCHEESEBURGER might have been me and my mate lol we saw are first monk jack there

[@JETJOOBOY]

Most people havent EVER SEEN 10 YEAR OLD MOSS CARPETS.. There are Rare Wated Birds and I SWEAR but cannot prove there are Otters and I guarantee there are Newts!

[@JETJOOBOY]

Why arent5 the Council allowing Council Tax payers to enjoy the peace and unspoiled site? Why havent6they allowed a Centre Parks or similar set up to create jobs and tourism... it would be far less of an imposition than a fucking theme park?

[@JETJOOBOY]

Why can't people have horse riding lessons on there... Why arent army cadets able to do shooting ranges.. The list is ENDLESS... A DECADE of denial! A green belt of history denied access..

[@sarahfields288]

Good idea for Horse riding
