What song is this?

[craigfergusonimages]

@ThrillFinatic I can't actually remember the name of it.

[Ninewis]

That songs awsome

[Brollyhero99TOP10]

That is one fucking creepy amusement park!!!!! O.O'

[MATTHEW3438]

Are you sure its not there cause rcdb says the park is still SBNO.

[craigfergusonimages]

@MATTHEW3438 It's definitely gone. It was torn down a couple of years ago.

[cloe8901]

@craigfergusonimages i wish they didnt tear down so many abandoned places like amusement parks i rlly wanna go to one sometime but probably by then they will tear all of them down :(

[camarada1996]

Thats a creepy place btw. :S

[neoninjajava]

is this place still there? please let me know, as i want to go on a trip somewhere eerie in the next few weeks. it would be nice to go there this weekend whilst ghost month is still on, please let me know when you can... cheers!

[craigfergusonimages]

@neoninjajava It's no longer there but I've heard about another one in the same area (Dakeng, Taichung) that is also abandoned. I don't have any more info than that however.

[neoninjajava]

@craigfergusonimages thanks for the info man, i checked dakeng, but the amusement park there seems to be up and running. looking at the possibility of san zhi, the ghost town north of taipei, you know it? i can find info on it, but nothing that tells me if it's still there or not, might try it though. cheers again for the help

[craigfergusonimages]

@neoninjajava I live kinda near San zhi but it's also gone. I think they pulled it down almost 2 years ago. I actually went past the site the other day and it's unrecognizable now. I did manage to shoot there a couple of times.

[craigfergusonimages]

@neoninjajava For some reason YouTube is not letting me post a link, but I have a short piece from Sanzhi here. If you click my name, you'll find it.

[neoninjajava]

@craigfergusonimages hey man, thanks for the information, i would have felt like a right idiot bringing my mates up there and just seeing nothing! thanks for the help, i'll google around and see if there are any more spooky places/abandoned villages in taiwan to enjoy. cheers, from kaohsiung.

[bikr1975]

once i found electricity running to one of the old abandoned drive in theaters to a projector and it still worked. sadly, there was no film in it to enjoy :(

[bikr1975]

too bad you couldnt try and make electricity travel to one or more of the rides to see if you could turn them on just to see what happens? that would be AWESOME!! lool.....rollercoaster of death.

but seriously, if you know of anyone who did and posted them on youtube, PLEASE......let me know. thanks ;)

i desperately, for some reason, want to see one of the old rides working again or trying to work till it blows up.

but still, your video here is hauntingly beautiful ;)

[chimayai]

Craig, many tks for posting this..when my family lived abroad, this was one of the parks I was lucky enough to go to..shame to see the Senyo shuttle loop just sitting there.

Thx very much for the show.

[trema006]

actualy if you look to the right of at 2:44 it looks like it was meant to be like that

[trema006]

was there supposed to be more to the ride at 4:19 ?

[craigfergusonimages]

Hmm, good point. I'm not too sure as I never saw it when it was open.

[trema006]

do you know of any photos on the web anywhere of how the park looked originaly?

[craigfergusonimages]

No sorry. You might find something via Google.

[Kiddy2468]

It could have stopped there and then gone backwards just like that one in Epcot in Walt Disney World florida. The Everest ride.

[trema006]

ah right i get what you mean. thanks. i was thinkin it looked like a strange ride! lol. i wonder if it looks as big in real life as it does in the pictures

[Kiddy2468]

I mean the ride the Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World.

[geniusjonw]

The Everest Ride, also known as Expedition Everest, is in the Animal Kingdom theme par, not Epcot.

[chimayai]

@trema006 that coaster is one of the early shuttle loops (Greezed Lightnin, tidal wave, etc) what looks unfinished is just the end spike, although I think the end of it fell in the quake

[chimayai]

@trema006 I'm not sure about this, but I believe the ride at 4:19 is a Senyo shuttle loop; the spike in the image is one end of it.

[LetsGetSponsored]

so it's completely torn down? if you have any more pictures or video of before or after i would love to see them. for some reason i'm unbelievably interested in this kind of thing.

[craigfergusonimages]

Yeah, completely gone. I'm not sure if I have any other shots - I'll take a look and let you know if I do.

[craigfergusonimages]

Once again thanks everyone.

@Patiencelim - I can't remember the thing at 2.16 was. It was very overgrown. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a bumper car, as there was another bumper car in the same area.

[Patiencelim]

Does what was at 2,16? A bumper car ride or what??

[Shame85]

If anyone is interested in exploring any abandoned parks around Central PA, let me know.

[Harimakum]

This is like..

The amusement park mainly for the happy spirits. =)

It's so scary yet so peaceful...

[PinguKpo]

fucking scary man, thanks for upload

[arthurkitchen]

I can'r believe they let it just sit there and rot.

[ABlindEclipse]

Does anyone else think the pictures are very eerie? It would have been so awesome to explore an abandoned amusement park though, a once in a lifetime opportunity.

[craigfergusonimages]

Thanks everyone for the comments. The park is no longer there, it has now been demolished. The reason it sat abandoned for so long was because it didn't make economic sense (to the owner) to pull it down. However the price of scrap metal, particularly steel, went up dramatically to the point where the owners could make a small profit by pulling it down and selling it for scrap.

[mackeytableforone]

ok  who is up to a trip to go rescue the horses? mackey

[towertooth456]

The saddest picture I would have to say is the bumper car building all overgrown with trees and moss....

[Doomsdesire360]

you managed to depress the hell out of me

[louloulou1991]

there is something about this place being abandoned, strange to see such a great place once full of life now just stopped still and almodt dead the spirit is gone now,x

[skittlesgirl89]

I don't see why they would leave the rides and everything up if they know it isn't going to ever reopen:( They did that to an amusment park near my house:( About three year ago the took the last ride down. The park had been closed for a long time. If anyone has some video's or picture of that park please put them up.

[skatertroy]

that was amazing

iv always wanted 2 go there

[lukasz2357]

i like bananas

[MIGHTSPIKE]

Wow it was like time just stopped. Thank you. For the video. I especially the the final shot of the unfinished roller coaster.

[Britishdude1]

i don't think it was unfinished. At Kennywood in PA, there is a roller coaster just like that where it "ends." there is a loop in the center and the massive incline is used to slow down the cars.
