Title: Abandoned Theme parks - sad scenes
Post by: swinks on July 07, 2013, 08:40:05 PM

isn't it sad to see images of rotting pinballs and abandoned rotting theme parks, seems like many things are joining the pinballs in disappearing from the public enjoyment

poor Silverball Mania & theme parks

I recently spent a few hours researching this topic and it is very interesting to say the least.
Something about the premise of a theme park ( fun, exciting and designed for hundreds of people) to see it abandoned is a bit of a mind trip. Shows how everything reverts back to nature when left to rot.
