Chernobyl Left This Park To Die
This amusement park in the Ukrainian city of Pripyat has been closed since 1986 when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded in the Soviet Union. After years of hosting children bashing bumper cars into one other and taking in the views from the Ferris wheel, it has become a site of death and ruin. This is a spooky spot that isn’t safe enough to be a tourist attraction, and ghosts aren’t the only thing that can happen here. The radioactive fallout from the meltdown continues to engulf the park in an impenetrable deadly fog.

Italy Hopes To Reopen The LunEur Park One Day
Yes, that is a skeleton of a dinosaur peering down at the decaying landscape below. When the Luna Park Permanente di Roma (LunEur Park for short) closed its doors in 2008, it proved that it was not meant to exist forever. It was recognized for many years as the largest amusement park in Rome and the oldest amusement park in Italy when it first opened its doors in 1953. After going through what was characterized as a crisis moment, the historic park shuttered its doors and transformed into the eerie attraction you see in the photo above. It was agreed to rebuild and reopen the park in 2015, and construction began in 2016. However, no date has been established, and little effort has been made toward restoring it to its former splendor.
