Rusty old theme parks

I saw this that I thought was very cool...

Its an abandoned Japanese theme park apparently. Looks so cool and so like it should be the setting for *something*.

I'd so love to have a freeform there, tis a very cool looking place.

A freeform, or maybe Laserquest/paintball. I'd love to go running over those roller coaster tracks. :)

It's like when you're on the train and see masses of rusting abandoned old rolling stock, like near Didcot. You just get this urge to alight and have an explore! Rusty old places are cool.

If you know where to look you can get similar things on the london underground. Trains still go through some of those old abandoned stations, they just don't stop so if you are looking out the window at the right time you can see the stations 50 years old, some of whcih haven't been touched in all that time...

Be very careful if there are still some apparently operational food stalls there.

Reminds me of the first Silent Hill game, when the lady cop is shooting you on the carousel.

That looks like a place where I'd be able to build my very own dream home!

Boogiepop Phantom

Damn, someone got there before me. I'm impressed though; you can have back those kudos you gave me the other day Rei!

Chris, have you seen Boogiepop yet? If not, you so have to. I think they should make a second film, set in the time frame from the series, and shoot it in that place.

You're right about rusty theme parks (and stuff in general) being awesome though. I love that photo with the plant growing in the carriage. It reminds me of what happened to my car.
