I don't know about you but that's more than enough for me to stay away from a theme park even when an honors one of the most famous works of literature number seven Park Hungary I'm quite sure I butchered the name of this park however that wouldn't be the worst thing that's happened to it don't you just wish that sometimes that we could go on roller coasters whenever we felt like it unfortunately that's no easy feat to accomplish especially when we have to pay an entrance fee however this park in Hungary was different because it ran under the Communist party for 40 years starting in the year of 1953. and thanks to that people could go in for free instead of relying on people's money the park received funding from the government to maintain operations unfortunately that is also the same reason why it had to cease operations in 1993 right after the fall of the Soviet Union number six the Land of Oz USA and here's another Park inspired by literature but most evidently by film it's a park called Land of Oz which opened in North Carolina in the summer of 1970. this park was the most popular one in the U.S during its first year of operations it brought about 4 000 visitors during its opening day but unfortunately the success of the park didn't last long and things just got worse when the park was hit by a fire in 1975. some people believe that the fires were started by unhappy employees and a lot of things got destroyed such as two buildings the main offices of the park some costumes props and also sound equipment on top of that some items from the museum got stolen during the chaotic moment that included Dorothy's dress the same one that Judy Garland used in the film from that moment onwards things just went downhill the park was then owned and managed by a new company but people say it never got back to what it was before they finally closed in 1980 and now it's only an eerie memory of what was once a real-life experience out of one of the greatest films of that time as of today the park is a great place for photographers to capture its spooky Essence and there are also tours during the month of June and during the Autumn of Oz an event that happens every October number five Nara Dreamland Japan after Disneyland gained World recognition a lot of parks around the world tried to attain its same success Nara Dreamland was not the exception the Japanese inspired was built in a way that mimicked the looks of California's Disneyland with its own set of brightly colored rides and some roller coasters that are now abandoned the park opened its store in the 1960s and ran operations all the way until the year 2006. one of the main attractions was a wooden roller coaster named Oscar which was inspired by the famous Cyclone at Coney Island it sounds like it was a pretty cool place but unfortunately the place that served as an inspiration for Nara Dreamland turned into its competitor apparently the number of visitors started to decrease after Disneyland Tokyo started operations in 1993. later in 2001 Tokyo Disney sea and Universal Studios Japan also began operating which impacted dramatically the number of people coming to Nara Dreamland the park was deserted in 2006 but it immediately became one of the most popular abandoned parks due to the many people who visit the place to get some of the spookiest photos that you can't get anywhere else even the tables and chairs of the coffee shop remain in place which just adds to the experience making it look as if the park just stopped operating all of a sudden number four trip yont amusement park could Chernobyl Ukraine some Parks get abandoned before they can even start operations and that is the case of the pripyat amusement park one that was meant to open its doors in 1986 and if you stay up to date with historical events you might get an idea of what happened just by looking at the place in which the park was built that place would be Chernobyl Ukraine that's right this amusement park was built right before the infamous disaster of the nuclear plant of Chernobyl the incident happened just a few days before the Park's grand opening and they actually tried to keep operations going they tried to allow some locals to visit the park but operations could not be held for that much longer as the people had to evacuate in order to avoid the risk of being exposed to high levels of radiation since then the park has been untouched all that's left is a handful of rides that never got to be used and now I ruined what was going to be one of the most relevant attractions of this area funny enough though you actually can kind of visit these parks in a few video games this includes the First Call of Duty Modern Warfare as well as stalker shadow of Chernobyl and Stalker Call a pripyat number three Wonderland China it should not surprise you that the most populated country in the world was once the place where the largest amusement park was going to be built the name was Wonderland and it was located in the suburbs of Beijing China construction stopped in the late 90s due to money problems and land disputes as a result a lot of Unfinished structures lingered in the location for many years after that you could even see the castle-like buildings that resemble those you see at Disneyland later in 2008 they tried to restart construction but the attempt was not successful the land was then claimed by Farmers so they could grow their crops and ultimately the whole area was bought and turned into an outlet shopping center but if Wonderland had finished construction it would have been the largest amusement park in the world who visited the abandoned Park so they could not believe the size of the park I bet it must have been pretty impressive now it's time for the day's best pick sometimes theme parks are closed due to lack of enough visitors to sustain operations but sometimes things are going pretty well for businesses at least until nature hits like the case of this roller coaster in Casino Pier New Jersey this picture shows you how the storage jet was driving to Atlantic City by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. it had to be demolished in 2013 and now it's been replaced by other rides now let's have a look at another Park that suffered greatly due to a terrible natural disaster number two Six Flags New Orleans USA New Orleans has been famous for its music its tasty food and the historical sites that remind us of the early days of America but for a long time the city was also known for being the most affected place by Hurricane Katrina for those that don't remember Hurricane Katrina was a natural disaster that took the lives and homes of many people in 2005 and with all the chaos one place that was affected and never recovered was Six Flags New Orleans one of the most famous theme parks in the region today the City of New Orleans recovered but Six Flags remains abandoned you can still spot some of the roller coasters and many other attractions that are slowly becoming one with the wildlife nearby residents have shown concern for the condition of the site and the city authorities have considered demolishing the place however the city has managed to make money out of the location by allowing Hollywood Productions to make use of it to create cinematic scenarios that you can see in films like Jurassic world and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes it's also a popular spot for apocalyptic photo projects it at least sounds like the city found a creative way to rip benefits from something that was chaotic and devastating number one takaka Noma Greenland Japan the creepiest and areas abandoned Park on this list is in Japan this park was closed Twice first it closed two years after its opening in 1973 and no one could really say why they had to close so soon some people say they closed because there were other popular parks nearby and some others say it was because there were quite a few accidents in their rides years later the park reopened again in 1986 and continued operating until 1999 when they finally closed for Good due to financial reasons the combination of fog and abandoned roller coasters really gave this park a disturbing look it's honestly just creepy to look at it's honestly pretty crazy how these places were once designed for people to have fun and thrilling experiences but are now abandoned size that could easily be the scenario for a movie about the end of the world would you dare explore any of these spots do you wish you would visit any of these Parks before they were torn down let us know in the comments section down below with all that said and done I will see you all next time later everybody [Music]
