Ok, so we all talk about multi billionaire theme park companies or theme parks themselfs, but what about the ones not so lucky? the ones that run into bankrupcy, or just generally fade out of respect *cough* american adventure.

Anyone seen Nara Dreamland on Theme Park Review. Its funny that they pretty much only saw that group of school kids all day. looks like it has a nice woody though.

it is truely sad that parks can get to states like this... its really upsetting, this could be someones dreams of being a park creator, crashed. if these parks got some fixing up, and they might turn out be quite good.

Good old RCDB, some (most?) of you will probably have seen these pics already but here they are again just in case:

Three coasters at Chippewa Lake Park (Ohio) have been left standing but not operating for nearly 30 years, after the park shut down in 1978 (100 years after it opened).

Looking and reading these reviews and pics really upsets me :(. All that money and hard work spent out and now look at it, rotting as it stands, open!

I can't imagine Alton Towers or any other UK park ive been to getting like that.

Looking at those photos does upset me :(.
