Amusement parks are places where we see hope, smiles, and happiness. It's scary to see these places empty and deserted. Kinda has a dystopian feel.

[@CrazyDash9]

The thing is is that most of these parks were never really that major.

[@lizzygreeneyes]

Since you were talking about dystopia, imagine this: A toxic plague has been found in the world's water supply, forcing the globe into a catastrophic apocalypse in a matter of days. You stagger through forgotten streets, shreds of clothing on telephone poles as well as boards of wood shielding windows, keeping whoever inside mildly safe for the time being. You wander around a bit farther before you a hear familiar melody. You slowly turn your head only to find that to the left of you is the amusement park from your childhood. A xylophone creepily playing the park's theme tune. You explore the abandoned site with a heavy heart, memories washing over you in tidal waves, uncontrollable tears escaping your eyes and cascading down your cheeks. The attraction's sign looming above, reading the place you once shared happiness with friends and family. The sky capturing the overall mood with an eerie overcast as your mind soon travels back to the odd xylophone that first caught your attention with its plinking notes. You soon realize that not only were you not alone but you know you won't last much longer in this dystopia.

Santa Cruz beach and boardwalk was really crazy at night. I grew up in the 60s in the Bay area, and Santa Cruz was the perfect setting for the classic, "The Lost Boys" movie. It was very scary at night, but at the same time, exciting. Tons of runaways lived on the beach...

[@stephenmr2]

Every summer our family would travel from San Jose up Hiway 17 to go to Santa Cruz and spend a weekend there I thought is was really neat. I have such fond memories of the lost mine ride that had a pond in front and every hour a dinosaur would slowly rise up out of the water then turn his head left to right and roar really loud then he would go back down under water I loved that!!!!

[@jamiecurran3544]

If 'The Lost Boys' had been filmed in England, I reckon it would have been filmed in Blackpool😏🤭, n the Pleasure Beach would have been the Boardwalk location!🤔, It would have been a completely different vibe what with the Northern English accents n a whole load of Chavie teenagers!😁🤣🤣, Lostboys is one of my favourite movies!😜✌🇬🇧

[@Dan_Blick1986]

As someone from England, it’s so intriguing to get an American take - particularly on Number 11, Dunblobbin. The name Crinkley Bottom was the name given to the fictional village where the BBC One show Noel’s House Party was based which aired between 1991 to 1999. The “giant spotty pink creature” Mr Blobby was brought in as part of the “Gotcha” pranks on celebrities before being brought into the show more frequently. Blobby at one point became more popular than than host himself, before becoming loathed and was axed for the final series in 1999.

It was a fun park, looking back on it... It's completely demolished now, so it's great to see some footage of my childhood, thanks for including it in this list!

[@LaNoire27]

You won't find me purposely in any abandoned anything. I thing abandoned structures are SO creepy. It's something I can't quite put a finger on.

[@hywelw]

Fantastic video. I'm from the UK and had no idea about the Crinkly Bottom themed park (though I well remember the BBC's Noel's House Party on which it was themed). I also remember Camelot closing being reported in the news - I think you'll find most of the structures shown in this video have now been removed though recent aerial photography show that the ground structure of the park is still there (I gather it's been sold for development into new housing). The nearest abandoned location like this to where I live is a zoo called Penscynor Wildlife park. Any child of the '70s-'90s will remember this place as it was the choice destination for school trips and a significant number of cars in the area had a sticker bearing the park's logo on them because you got free parking with the sticker on a re-visit. Anyway - I digress - this was sold for housing in the late '90s when it suddenly closed and much of the land now has a housing estate called Penscynor Park on it. Most people don't realise that the back end of the original wildlife park including the now, decidedly derelict monkey houses, remains of the Alpine Slide (a bob-sleigh type ride) and even the large seal lake (now breeched) and waterfall are still there to this day - if you know how to get in...

[@vaudvillevillain_]

For those who are wondering what the park is on the thumbnail is, it's Kings Island. Kings Island is an amusement park originally ran by paramount parks (Yes, that paramount) and now run by cedar fair, a group who runs a chain of parks including Cedar Point, Valley Fair, and Michigan's Adventure. The coaster shown on the thumbnail is Son of Beast, an infamous coaster opened as the first wooden coaster over 200 ft. tall. I can't explain all of these, cause it would take forever, so here's some video links: Defunctland's explanation on why it was infamous: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2mxfnavq8aco7s POV of the ride: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJjKdmN8jruSj9U

Not a scary park, but the Land of OZ at Beech Mountain, NC was a park I went to as a kid.

When I was little there was an abandoned amusement park near where I lived; the humps of the wooden roller coaster were just visible above the treeline. I was only little and, when it came into view, I'd stare at it until it was out of view again. I was equal parts terrified and fascinated. The park was torn down a few years later; not much remains out there, just a stairway in the woods leading from nowhere to nowhere. I have no doubt at all that if I lived near any of these parks I wouldn't be able to help myself. I'd have to explore.

River Country wasn’t something Disney didn’t get right. It was actually very popular. However, with both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach open and easier to get to, numbers fell off.

When investors build theme parks and try comparing them to Disney, they forget two things: Disney is connected by the customers to both the movies and television. Disney's genius was that he used the Disneyland TV Show (later called "The Wonderful World of Disney" and "Disney's Wonderful World") to promote his Disneyland theme park. These investors don't have a big hit TV series and a movie company to promote their parks. Walt Disney gave the theme park the same name as the TV Series (both were called Disneyland in the 1950s). Viewers of the hit series connected the name to the theme park. Poof! Walt Disney had the power of television to advertise his theme park during his hit show.

OK so the thumbnail is clickbait. The “ abandoned amusement park” is kings island and it is not abandoned far from it it is one of the most popular amusement park in the world and of what you see and that is a “abandoned roller coaster” that you see was the son of beast was a ride that opened in 2000 it was extremely popular but it had multiple flaws. screws wold go loose and the ride was very rough and even one person got a concussion just from riding the ride and the support beams were very loose and easily fell over. And after several people had head injuries and had to go to the hospital in 2009 it close down for good even though it closed in 2009 it wouldn’t be demolished for several more years And what you see in the thumbnail that is it being demolished. And the park is still open today and like I said at the start it is one of the most popular theme parks in the world So don’t try to clickbait people who know to much about amusement parks.

It would be great if you could find more for other Old Amusement Theme Parks and Abandoned. I know there was Whalen Park and Riverside Park and Salisbury Park and I'm sure there are others too.

Actually the park was opened during the nuclear explosion because they were trying to distracted citizens until they got enough transportation to come into the city to transport them out so it was open for about 1 to 2 days. Free to enter and ride as well...

Yes this is so true and so sad

[@leecourtney9968]

Anything abandoned is always so creepy. You can just see the activity of the past. No thank you.

[@boberthuzo7766]

Amusement part always gives me this giddy feeling and has for years. I feel like a little kid again. The only other thing that can do this for me is music. When I listen to bands like Delta Parole, the best

[@Stardust31683]

I heard on a KZbin short that playgrounds that night are really creepy looking

[@jamesseabolt5915]

There was an amusement park near Harrison, Arkansas called Dogpatch U.S.A. Kind of a corny little place representing Al Capp comic strips. My Dad took us one year and it was fun to an extent. The rides were so-so. A lot of crafts and souvenier shops, and hillbilly themed music. But was soon shut down and abandoned as well.

I remember the one in Nara Japan. Sad the other parks became better

One correction for #1: The Wonderland Castle that was never completed, was, for whatever goddamn reason, preserved when the other structures were demolished.

[@aratneerg1375]

Nature is the best theme park ever!!

I’ve watched dozens and dozens of abandoned amusement park videos and this is the first that showed Dania Beach’s coaster, as a native to the area of South FL.. I never did make it on that coaster but I definitely frequented Atlantis when it was a water park back when I was in high school before it was Boomers.

[@Christa_Flores]

Welp those are either good memories there or bad

[@Oceans11.11]

[@juliasalas4520]

[@thedoomslayer6836]

Lmao, the thumbnail isn’t even abandoned, it’s my local amusement park, it’s called Kings Island, it’s really dope, if you’re ever in Ohio you should swing by

[@meganproffitt424]

Hello neighbor! I'm local too. Though to give the channel *some* credit, the ride (SOB) was torn down back in 2014. ;)

[@loxbox1246]
