Wow, awesome ytmnd. I love seeing things like that and wondering about what it used to be like when people used it. When did the park close? Looks like it's been out of commission since the 70's

+3

It closed in '99, there aren't any reasons really why it closed. It just turned into a place to party from 2000-2005 and for the past couple of years nobody goes there anymore. I used to go there with my family and then it just shut down.

That place kinda looks like my parks I make in Roller Coaster Tycoon.

boring

These sites are getting old.

Would this happen to be Rocky Point? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Point_Amusement_Park

No, it's in Canada, ON.

BYOB: Bring Your Own Bobsled!

There, I just FAV'd it. I'm gonna BMOB when I've got time.

It looks like an interesting place to skateboard through. Or bob sled if that's what you happen to have on you...

nice! were is this? How is this spot called?

+1

Prudhommes "Wet 'n Wild". All of the rides are buried within the snow now, and in the summer all of the tall dried grass takes over where the paint slowly dried up more and more until it turns it's known rust colour.

That girl laughing is so f*cking annoying

I'm guessing shes not lacking any meat

And that's what real women need.

+2

Wow, YTMND is also good for art and not just comedy. Fav'd for ARTMND

go write a blog

-3

i like sites like this

+2

That would make a wicked skate park.

That's what I was thinking. Looks like some people set up a ramp to get up on the ledge in one of those photos. Just skating down the track would be awesome.

Digging it

needs more gnome with pointy hat side-stepping out of the bushes

How did everything get turned Black and White? Some nuclear holocaust accident? Chernobyl looks the same way!

All in the eye of the beholder. I think it looks more beautiful like it is. 50 years from now, it will probably look even more beautiful.

pedophiles once lived here

I love creepy abandoned building photography. There's a good-sized list of hundreds of defunct amusement parks on Wikipedia, including a hurricane-ravaged Six Flags in New Orleans.

+2

ah yes, more abandoned ytmnds

Reminds me of Children of Men - very post-apocalyptic.

I love pictures of chaos taking back what men have made, wherever I find them. But InMyHomoeroticOpinion you should have chosen the middle of the track with the robot sloth voice -- it's the only thing that makes the annoying child laugh forgiveable. Still, all in all, i c wat u did ther

-1

Flickr fodder ain't funny.

+3

Dude, there's some sick skating spots there.

Looks better maintained than half my city's skateparks.

+1

I never really found theme parks to be "beautiful". Also, who's the *ssh*le who drove a bumper car into the dining area? D=<

+1

I lol'd at that.

Neat but I think color photos would have been nicer.

-1

Did you get an A on your photo homework?

To earn a 5, do something with that ridiculously hideous laugh.

-2

-1 for tiny pictures. We don't all have monitors from 1997.

I think we do, just we don't use them any more. Like this park.

+2

This should actually be a slideshow of David Koresh's compound instead.

-1

I think this would actually be really great if you didn't go down the "black and white = artsy" road. Preeeeeetentious.

-1

Ok, changing the pics back to regular. It's jsut some of them won't be changed because they were in B&W to begin with.

Nice. Quietly Dramatic.

5 for Children of Men.

NOW IN FULL COLOR!

Nah, more like...70% colour? :P

well, mostly color anyway

needs heffer goin WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

A 5 for you. Screw the downvoters.

THIs looks like the blue lagoon, a waterpark I used to go to as a kid in Cali! 4 for the memories! and a ghost star for the ghost kid laughter

man, if there was an abandoned theme park around me, id sell my house and live there.

in a beautiful place out in the country

meh... I'm sure 5s might have lived there too at one time. If I were you I'd spray paint "Eat Pussy" across the side of the building

That exact site is on Call of Duty 4's single player campaign!!

COD4 has a single player campaign?

Looks like a great place to hang out and f*ck around. Lucky kids in your area.

Do you have a website or something?

growing nature is much better

lol art

Not really what we're looking for

+1

did you take the photos yourself? And im pretty sure she prefers to be called belle

That looks like an awsome place to dump used tires

If you blow it up it will become happy again

Everything old is new again.

Action park FTW

Nice YTMND. Boards of Cananada are sweet too.

Hmm that settles it. Gang lets go back in time an stop Lavos!

I had a friend who tried to have sex to music by the boards of canada... it didn't go very well.

sad :(

art. 5.

Beautiful

Why'd they shut it down and let it all go to waste? What it reminds me of is Koyanisqaatsi. The way modern man (in contrast with ancient American Indian civilizations) does all of this building only to waste the work he has done. Stupid f*cking white man.

Kind of depressing, but very thought provoking. This YTMND is a sobering reminder of just how fragile this manufactured world of ours is. We could after all, be just one war or disaster away from entire cities looking like this. It's actually kind of disturbing.

5 for in a beautiful place out in the country

When I was younger, I worked at a fairground in Fredricksburg VA. They did Ren Faires, Halloween horror shows, stuff like that. Then one day, the company running it decided it wasn't profitable enough, and closed it down. Seeing it years later, overgrown and devoid of humanity was one of the most haunting feelings in my life. All things must pass.
