It was surreal to see Fun Spot on the list. My Dad's work company picnic used to be held at Fun Spot every year and we had a blast. He was a foundry worker and his company would go all out, pay for everything. We got to go on unlimited rides etc, and they gave us tickets for concessions.

While Opryland U.S A. in Nashville, Tennessee wasn't abandoned...it's disgusting that it was torn down and sold piece-by-piece so that a freakin' mall could be built in it's place. Many older Nashvillian's, who spent their childhoods in the park and tourists have fond memories of the rides and shows.
This is typical of Americans, cry when something gets old and run down and unpopular, if the place was so good why did people stop going to it? Opryland like other places of the like are a niche, they never upgraded it so yeah it was doomed to fail.
River country what use to be the most famous water park that what made it to be abandoned was a boy dieing from the bacteria in the pool from a slide attacking his brain
You forgot Geauga lake in Aurora Ohio. It was there for a long time and had a really amazing wooden roller coaster also Sea World was next door and they both closed then six flags bought both parks but did not do well. Cedar point bought it and then they sold it for land development.
How was Geauga Lake/Six Flags World of Adventure left off the list? You think it would be number 1 since it was the first Mega park( 2 waterparks, Wild life, Rides) and was the biggest Amusement park in the world. Look like not enough research went into this video.
Nothing’s sadder than an abandoned theme park. Skyline got closed in Owego, NY before I hit high school. Guaranteed we would have gone once one of us (me as the oldest of the group) got a license……..
River Country has been demolished and cleared for a new resort...that resort has been postponed, so it is just a blank slate now, ready for the future.
Geauga Lake Amusement park should of been on this list. For years it was Cedar Points biggest competitor and had some of the most unique coasters like XFlight. A floorless coaster that suspends riders from their chest and waist giving them a feeling of flying like superman. This was after they were acquired by six flags, they later combined with sea world next door. The park was shortly sold off a few years later and demolished...
@@pathead9944 The park was bought buy Cedar Fair (Cedar point) after six flags combined the park with seaworld. Its was turned into a water park on the seaworld side of the lake and the amusement park side was closed for good, but even that went out of business several years ago. Cedar fair sold the coaster's or dismantled them for scrap, Cedar point has NONE of the coasters from Geauga Lake Amusement park and never installed them in their park. Wikipedia has a concise list of the fate of those coasters and where they went.
One thing that can be cool to think about is riding once abandoned rides that have been moved to other parks. To name one, once Batman at Six Flags New Orleans is now Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and has been now for many years, despite the ride being flooded in 2005. At this point it has been at Fiesta far longer than it was at Six Flags New Orleans.
I went to Jazzland a month after it opened. That coaster was called the Mega Zeph before Six Flags took it over. It wasn't the most spectacular of parks, but for what it was where it was, it was pretty decent for people visiting New Orleans.
That Park sucked completely There was nothing good about it Blue Bayou is a million times better and it's not even an amusement park that's why jazzland is still sitting there abandoned
One question, what the bloody hell happened to Pripyat?! That is one of the most famous abandoned amusement parks out there, so I was really surprised to see it not making the list.
If you know about the Chernobyl Nuclear Accident back in April 1986, the entire small Ukrainian town of Pripyat was contaminated with dangerous radiation particles. The accident happened right when the park was about to open
I am 53 years old I spent a good part of my youth at Ghost town in the sky. In the early 80's 2 of my high school friends died in a car wreck around the corner at the ski resorts that is close to it.
There was a local amusement park on Grand Island, NY that was abandoned for 2 years and sustained a lot of damage from vandalism despite it not being abandoned anymore. Fortunately, Gene Staples bought the park and is currently working on restoring and adding rides back to it.
It's really sad to see so many Amusement parks left Abandoned its a waste to see The rides etc left to rot they Should be recycled & Reused Definitely thanks for the Informative video.
But Nara Dreamland is demolished. You can’t go to Nara Dreamland. 😤😑🙅♀️🤦♀️ even if you did, you would have to go through the fence. Then, you would see nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Can you believe that they patrol those abandoned amusement parks so strictly that you cannot even take pictures and if they catch you in their ho ho you are in for it
Hey Six Fags AstroWorld in Houston is now a giant parking lot WOW SO MUCH FOR ALL THOSE MEMORIES THANKS HOUSTON I BET YOU MADE YOUR MONEY OFF OF THAT DIDN'T YOU
Kinda sad some of these parks are closed now. I visited at least four of these USA parks when they were open. I had no idea they were closed now (except for River Country). Wow.
Wow it’s amazing I remember some of these places riding past them while abandoned and my mom telling me the story. The picture was literally painted in my mind; illuminating my imagination I wanted to go
Great video tho. I've read about all of these parks but it's been a while since I've seen any pictures of these locations or what they look like now. I love that dragon on the middle of the lake. I haven't seen that structure in so long now... it was an exciting suprise. Thank you. Some of these locations I had actually never heard of.
I grew up in south florida and when I was a kid i remember going to the Boomers and riding the hurricane roller coaster over and over again because it was so dead..the workers practically let us run the thing all day it was the best. miss that place.
Somebody didn’t fully get their research right,,, River Country was demolished and covered up quite a few years ago by now and began being redeveloped into a new resort, the footers for the foundation were poured and then left abandoned for who knows who long.
Spree park. That damn ferris wheel has haunted me for many years now. There was a video that surfaced with a little boy falling from the very top. It broke my heart.
I literally lived 5 minutes away from bushkill park. I remember going when I was little. I remember going to the reopening a while ago. They opened up the roller rink but it’s not the same
I use to love Ghost Town! My parents love to tell the story of when I was potty training, me and my dad waited almost an hour in line to ride the Farris wheel and we got up to the front of the line I told him I had to pee and he told me to hold it but I peed on the ride and everyone under us thought it had started raining! Keep in mind I was like 3.
geagua lake aurora ohio you could take a ferry to sea world and back to geagua lake both were amazing i always tried to take my son there every summer, then sea world closed pretty sure in the 90's then six flags took over geagua lake and it went all down hill from there resalting in its closing
BOBLO you mean. I won a contest naming the Screamer roller coaster there! 5 people named it. Was a trip to Florida but I got 4 free tickets after they randomly chose a winner out of the 5 of us that named it. Loved BOBLO..
Hey we made the list!! Connecticut!! As a child going to Quassy we drove past that cross. Thats how i knew we were close to Quassy. I always thought there was a huge beautiful church up there. Little did i know 😂
4:19 It officially closed in 2001 however, the site had not been running since 1984. My first visit was 1983 it was closed due to weather and it closed by the next year and never opened again. My friends who I went with told me about but I never saw it open. 4:26 you can still hear the audio recording when you are near the park.
Idora Park (1899-1984) was a northeastern Ohio amusement park popularly known as "Youngstown's Million Dollar Playground." Built by the Youngstown Park and Falls Street Railway Company, the park's expansion coincided with the growth of the South Side of Youngstown, Ohio, in the Fosterville neighborhood. Prior to its closure in the wake of a devastating fire, Idora Park was one of the nation's few remaining urban amusement parks. (WIKIPEDIA) My father and mother both went there often before I was born(1945). All through my childhood I visited the park up until about 1962. The Wildcat was the first roller coaster I ever rode.It scared the crap out of me. It was two years later that I gathered the courage to ride the Jackrabbit. after 2 or 3 rides on the smaller coaster I was ready to try again to ride the Wildcat. As the car was going up the incline with the chain clanking, I started to tell myself "What the hell are you thinking, getting on this ride". After that ride, I had no problem going on it, except, every visit I would go on with an initial fear, then I'd get over it.
It always amazes me how if you just completely abandoned a structure so you got a building I don't care what you're using it for and you just stop using it and no one else uses it that in a very short period of time the building will collapse in on itself. It's almost like these structures have a heart and a soul and they just die inside when nobody lives or uses them.
I agree! I went there in the early and mid 70s and had a blast. Love the chairlift going up and the swings that would take you out over the edge on one side. Exciting and scary. Hate it had to close. Another piece of our childhood gone, sigh...
Can’t believe y’all put bush kill park on this video I grew up a few miles away from it . It’s actually located in forks Pennsylvania. A suburb of Easton and it has recently had a movie filmed there and is now open but not as much things to do there as it used to
You forgot the last wooden Rollercoaster in operation. Lakeside park in Salem, VA which killed several people because it liked jumping track or because you weren't strapped in. It was the biggest and longest running for hundreds of miles
I went to that park in the 70s and had a really fun time. Those old wooden coasters were great! The one called Thunder Road at Carowinds was a good one.
There were two in my state Rhode Isand the I wish I heard on this list. Rocky Point Amusement park and Lincoln Woods Amusement park. Both closed and sat abandoned in the 80s and 90s.
“We're Knights of the Round Table We dance when ere we're able We do routines and chorus scenes With footwork impeccable We dine well here in Camelot We eat ham and jam and spam a lot…”
Never mind. Did some google searching and found out Sea Dragon is a rather generic ride that many parks will use. I knew the overall design wasn't special but I didn't know just how many use the Sea Dragon design on top of it.
Only half the story of Spreepark - it was a front for a massive drugs ring and the reason rides were shipped to Peru was that they were stuffed with drugs
At 1:32 in the footage it shows a wooden coaster being demolished. This is not the coaster from Florida it’s from Celebration City in Branson, MO. I went there many times, also check the billboard in the background for the showboat Branson Belle. At least use correct footage.
I loved Ghost In The Sky as a kid! My family camped at KOA (remember those?!?!) nearby and the sky lift to the top was part of the anticipation. The undertaker at the gun fight was so cool!!! Shot his brother-in-law to death to save him the suffering of bleeding to death from a gunshot wound to the big toe. Yeah, yeah. Had to be there! IT WAS GREAT!
When he says "Urban Explorers" . Everybody DRINK!
I’d be drunk three stories in! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

While Opryland U.S A. in Nashville, Tennessee wasn't abandoned...it's disgusting that it was torn down and sold piece-by-piece so that a freakin' mall could be built in it's place.

This is typical of Americans, cry when something gets old and run down and unpopular, if the place was so good why did people stop going to it? Opryland like other places of the like are a niche, they never upgraded it so yeah it was doomed to fail.
Loved Joyland as a kid. Folks take us when school got out because you received discounts and free passes for A's on report card.
River country what use to be the most famous water park that what made it to be abandoned was a boy dieing from the bacteria in the pool from a slide attacking his brain
it was cool

Right that was only reason I watched this tbh
The Big Dipper and the Raging Wolf Bob.... Was the Shit.... I used to work there before it was Six Flags
Loved that park
By letting it rot bc it's the cheaper option. Even the roads around it look like trash last time I drove through.
Honorable mentions, wonderful world of kroft, coney island, great America NJ, old chicago, riverside park.

Abandoned its a waste to see The rides etc left to rot they Should be recycled & Reused Definitely thanks for the Informative video.
3:03 Jit slept for so long,he was in the work clothes as a skeleton 💀

Interesting, the first part of the video shows the ride “Wildcat”, a roller coaster from the former “Celebration City” park.
Wow it’s amazing I remember some of these places riding past them while abandoned and my mom telling me the story.
The picture was literally painted in my mind; illuminating my imagination
I wanted to go
Bushkill Park is open, but yes, not all the rides are there, but its open and getting there. I helped donate money to it.

Do you still suffer with the flooding
That's what killed Jazzland
What do you expect when you build an amusement park that's already in a city that's below sea level
At 16:47, there are two people standing up on a sitting down rollercoaster. Unbelievable!!!
Kids being kids didn't you do crazy stuff
That Park in Dania used to be a Grand Prix I remember running go karts on that track.
When I was a kid, me and my family went to Action Park. Lol
It’s now 2024. I’m in SE Louisiana. I can assure you this Six Flags park (New Orleans) will never re-open.
Haven't watched yet, but this better have Geauga Lake on it. It was the largest amusement park in the world at one point.
It’s not 😭😭😭😭 but I thought it would be too!!!! grew up going to it
There wasn't much there though after it closed. Most of the rides got shipped off or scrapped

I loved camelot theme park. It should never have closed. Tragic. Dragon flyer was my favourite.
Fort Lauderdale coaster was one of the best i have ever rode. Sad to see it close.

I have been to six flags new orleans. I went in late 2020 early 2021 and it looks insainly cool its one of the best places i have ever been.
Six Flags New Orleans closed before Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and was flooded by it. It's been closed ever since.

Six Flags came in and ran Geauga Lake into the ground. Everyone around still has not gotten over the loss of our park.
What a dick move for Disneyland! They just have to try and take over everything and everywhere!
I thought for sure Hard Rock Park (Freestyle Park) in Myrtle Beach, SC didn't make the list.

fun fact: yongma theme park is now a popular site for kpop idols to film their mv there such as,bts and twice
i cant believe some of these places even bothered opening.

Never mind. Did some google searching and found out Sea Dragon is a rather generic ride that many parks will use. I knew the overall design wasn't special but I didn't know just how many use the Sea Dragon design on top of it.
