Bizarre Abandoned Japanese Amusement Park!

[coasters 4 me]

that park looks so creepy. imagine if a company made a park like that and opened it at halloween. But the rustyness isnt really rust.

Here's another link on that site: http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/hashima/hashima001.html. Since I don't speak Japanese I did a quick search on the name "Hashima". Here's the link I found: http://www.uwosh.edu/home_pages/faculty_staff/earns/hashima.html

 

Truly a sad story, but quite interesting. I learned a little more about the Japan of the WWII era and the Mitsibishi corporation and thought you might be interested too.

OMG that's creepy! It would be fun to buy that place out and play paintball in it! So man things to hide behind and great areas for bunkering!

Just found out some more info on the first park.

The park is actually called "Takakonuma Greenland"

The same guy has an English site with even more pictures of the place:

The Jet Star that you saw was not a Schwarzkopf... it was a clone.

 

[Thanks Duane of RCDB for the links and information. ]

Wow, that is exremely creepy. It's like straight out of some horror movie. You can't build a better looking set than that.

strange....why are they all abandoned?

the pictures look awesome though.

[Ccron10]

All you need is a gigantic tub of rust-away, a lawnmower, and a few coats of paint. But becides that the coaster looks functionable.

Oooh I love the strangness of this place. It's so mysterieus; it would be great for a thriller or horror movie.

 

Hooray for abandonded japanese parks!

[IceDragon]

did you take a look at the chippewa lake park? that looks soo cool when its derelect!!!

 

 

some of those rollercoasters look perfectly functionable, perhaps thats what i'll do when i get older... ride rollercoasters to see if they work...

[Spookbaby]

It's so sad to look at those pictures and think that at some point in time this were probably some awesome rides that tons of people rode, enjoyed, and possibly hurled from and now it's glory days are over.

It looks like someplace I'd have a dream. That's so creepy and cool at the same time.

[fanatix]

I have seen these pictures before.... I even have some of the pictures saved on my computer. I think its sad and kinda cool to see. I wonder if the local kids go in at night or talk about the park as being haunted?

[Satoshi]

abandoned theme parks are real kinda sadness since they once

had got lotsa peeps and had let 'em have some fun on bizzare

styled showin' ages ride! gotta feel more good old days blast if

you're there! you must go ride if these did not get totaled lol!

[Coasterphreak]

Very nice.

 

Abandoned theme parks are a bit of an obsession of mine, so I always like to see more. If you want CREEPY, go look at these pictures of Heritage USA as it was a year or two ago (before they knocked down the waterpark and started restoring the buildings).

Some of these would make excellent ghost walks or similar type thing.

 

Ive seen night time pictures of old abandoned parks with woodie structure still standing. And you thought the fog was creepy looking.

 

Little lightbulb just went on over my head. The official TPR midnight abandoned park walks. Torchlight only. Now THATS a scarey thought.

If you like ghost parks, I'm sure the above link will work for you.

^^

you could have random spots where Ryan would jump out and pound you.

[DarkStitch626]

Funny reminds of the Tatsu preview video all the fog..

[thomas2]

I wonder how fun that coaster was. Maybe it just sucked the whole ride and it wasn't worth standing. Guess we'll never know

[the sound]

Looks like Knotts.

 

Alright, enough of me trying to be funny. And Lame.

 

This is one of many parks like this. i remember seeing some photos of Old Inidana in its Abonded days. it looked realy creepy. As does thsi park.

 

I can also rembember seeing some photos of a Ukrainean park near Chernobyl, before the explosion. ALso creepy.

[Zen Coaster]

As a couple of people have already said, it would make for a great scary movie set - as a filmmaker that was actually my first thought on seeing the shots.

 

I would love to explore the first park - maybe before or after the 2007 Japan trip perhaps?

[jynx242]

It definitely looks creepy - but my first emotion upon seeing that was sadness. Imagine, all the people that used to go there with their families for a good time. You can picture it clean with fresh paint and people around - then realize what it is like now.

 

sad

So is this park on the itinerary for the RPR weird parks of Japan trip next month?

[gerstlaueringvar]

Looks pretty creepy but an adventure must be great! Maybe we can find Japan's nuclear weapon underneath the park

 

It's really magical that I can surf Japanese web! Even though I only know about 5% of the characters.

Maybe they'll get ERT on the rusty, dilapidated Jet Coaster.
