Download or read book Abandoned Amusement Parks written by Dinah Williams and published by Bearport Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something both sad and creepy about an abandoned amusement park. Perhaps it’s because a place that was once packed with fun seekers has become slowly choked with weeds. Or maybe it’s because the sound of kids’ excited laughter has been replaced with the quiet creaking of rusted rides. When the only visitors are the spirits of those who died there long ago, an amusement park can be a scary place to visit. Among the 11 amusement parks in this book, children will discover a roller coaster left to rot after nearly killing its passengers, a theme park that is now home to alligators and snakes, and the ghost of a man who is still trying to take a ride on a Ferris wheel that stopped working years ago. The haunting photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spooky stories.

Book excerpt: Huffington Post called him “a master of the abandoned”—and for good reason. The “artivist” known only as Seph Lawless has spent the last ten years photo-documenting the America that was left behind in the throes of economic instability and overall decline—decrepit shopping malls, houses, factories, even amusement parks. Through nearly two hundred gorgeous and elegiac photographs, Abandoned details Lawless’s journey into what was once the very heart of American entertainment: the amusement park. Lawless visits deserted parks across the country, capturing in stark detail their dilapidated state, natural overgrowth, and obvious duality of sad and playful symbolism. Previously self-published as Bizarro, this updated edition of Lawless’s photographic tribute to decaying American amusement parks contains new content and a new foreword. For the first time, the famed photojournalist Seph Lawless makes his moving work available in a stunning trade edition.

Download or read book Horror Island Amusement Park written by Drac Von Stoller and published by Drac Von Stoller. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was once in every child's dream is now just an echo in the wind of a past gone by. Horror Island Amusement Park had the largest Ferrous Wheel, the biggest roller coaster, and a beautiful view of the ocean. After many years, of weather, lack of funding, and dwindling attendance, the amusement park was shut down and boarded up. But that wasn't the only reason for the decrease in attendance and the closing of the park. Reports of poor maintenance on the rides were the cause of many deaths and the major cause of shutting down the amusement park. Thirty years later, there were reports of strange things going on at the abandoned amusement park. At night the rides started up on their own and the funny thing was, is that the park had been out of operation for over thirty years without any power. The police were called out to the park many times to investigate, but when they located the power supply all the wires were ripped out of the fuse boxes. The police also reported hearing laughter and voices as though the amusement park was still in full operation. A sign was put on the front gate of the amusement park which read "No trespassing! Any violators will be prosecuted." A local ghost-hunting group decided they would try and solve the strange goings on at the Horror Island Amusement Park. They called themselves "The Ghost Detectors Society." The Ghost Detectors Society consisted of Darren, Karen, and Steve. They all thought solving the strange happenings would bring them fame, but they should have just stuck to doing the small stuff. Darren picked an overcast day to set the mood of the investigation. The fame-struck ghost hunters met up at the amusement park at the stroke of midnight. Everything was just as perfect as any ghost hunter would have wanted it to be, overcast and windy. Everyone had all their ghost-hunting equipment, in their briefcases ready for the big event to unfold. As they approached the gate, Darren said, "Everyone check your equipment to make sure everything is operating properly. Karen chimed in, "Darren, do you think we're going to find any proof, or is this just a bunch of made-up stuff to bring curious ghost hunters like us to make fools out of us." Darren exclaimed, "If we don't find any evidence we can at least say we believe that what we are doing as ghost hunters is worth the effort. Not every ghost hunter finds evidence, but when they do, it gives other ghost hunters like ourselves, hope that there are unexplainable things that make it worth looking into. I don't care what anybody thinks of what we are doing is just a waste of time, if we didn't believe, we all would be at home playing video games and there would never be such things as ghost hunters. Thank goodness there are believers like us willing to take the risk of tapping into the unknown. I don't think any one of us would rather be at home playing video games. Let’s just be happy. Our ghost-hunting dreams have brought us closer together as friends. I believe we were brought here for a reason and that reason is to find ghosts. Steve, is your equipment ready? "Yes, all my batteries are at full charge." "What about you Karen? Is your equipment good to go?" "Yes, everything is fine. I sure hope we get some good video footage." These young ghost hunters are about to stir up some ghost activity that should have stayed buried in the abandoned amusement park forever.

Download or read book FantasticLand written by Mike Bockoven and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where “Fun is Guaranteed!” But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares. How could a group of survivors, mostly teenagers, commit such terrible acts? Presented as a fact-finding investigation and a series of first-person interviews, FantasticLand pieces together the grisly series of events. Park policy was that the mostly college-aged employees surrender their electronic devices to preserve the authenticity of the FantasticLand experience. Cut off from the world and left on their own, the teenagers soon form rival tribes who viciously compete for food, medicine, social dominance, and even human flesh. This new social network divides the ravaged dreamland into territories ruled by the Pirates, the ShopGirls, the Freaks, and the Mole People. If meticulously curated online personas can replace private identities, what takes over when those constructs are lost? FantasticLand is a modern take on Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royale that probes the consequences of a social civilization built online.
