Abandoned Amusement Parks

Note: Lovely bloggers, please don't feel I have forgotten you (as my last post details), this is a blog piece that I have been asked to complete as a task in my Creative Writing A-level (ooooOooooooooOoOooOh). There may also be some crafts and/or a short story I have been working on recently, so bear with me, I am getting there in terms of sorting my life out!


There's something strangely fascinating in the concept of a derelict theme park. A place once filled with laughter and excitement, suddenly reverted to an eerie silence, with only the rusty scream of an old ferris wheel to reassure you that you're not going mad.
Despite the obvious risks of 'injury, arrest and even radiation exposure' (1) many people still find excitement in sneaking into these dangerous places for the thrill of the emptiness.
