Abandoned theme parks are always creepy But that ferris wheel is actually quite beautiful.

 

But still - I hate abandoned parks.

For those TPR members with a particular interest in Chippewa Lake Park, there are several books and a VHS documentary about the place.

 

Here's the VHS write-up, from: www.rollercoastermedialibrary.com
