The 10 abandoned theme parks on this list are kind of creepy for a few reasons. It’s also kind of saddening.
Berliner Spreepark-Germany
While the place is no longer a theme park it is a regular walking park. It was closed down in 2001, and since then it’s been kept as is, with plans to preserve it.
Mimaland-Malaysia
As one of the first theme parks in Southeast Asia, this was a spot that was fit to entertain a large number of people. Unfortunately, the government forced it to shut down after discovering several safety issues.
Camelot Theme Park-England
Among the many theme parks, this was one of those that played on a favorite legend of many. It did serve as a drive-thru zombie attraction before being turned into a walk-thru horror park.
Six Flags New Orleans-Louisiana
You wouldn’t think that Six Flags would be kept out of commission long, yeah? But after Hurricane Katrina rolled through, the five-year tenure of this place was as far as it went.
Nara Dreamland-Japan
Opening up as a knockoff of Disneyland isn’t a great idea. With too many attractions that were directly taken from Disneyland properties, it wasn’t long until this place was forced to shut down.
Jardin de Tivoli-France
Standing out as one of the world’s first theme parks, this place had water features, performances, and many different things to see. The park went through a few owners but closed in 1842, and eventually started to fade into memory.
Pripyat Amusement Park-Ukraine
Built right before the Chernobyl disaster, this place didn’t reach the notice of many people until word of the disaster was spread. Worse yet, this theme park didn’t even get a chance to open.
Yongma Land-South Korea
Amazingly, this decaying theme park has become host to many who want to use it as a place to pose for pictures. Television productions have made good use of this site as well.
Cypress Gardens-Florida
The mom-and-pop operation was absorbed into LEGOLAND. Sometimes it’s best to allow a takeover rather than disappear entirely.
Ho Thuy Tien-Vietnam
Seven years of operation marked the emergence of this place into the spotlight. At this point, it’s a tourist attraction, and the decaying concrete dragon that stands guard over the place gives it an eerie appearance.
