The worn and weathered Mardi Gras character hanging over the roof of the haunted car ride seems menacing now
Now? Pretty sure this thing was always pretty fucking creepy.

Here's a link to some pictures of Enchanted Forest, which was featured in the John Waters film Cry Baby. My friends and I used to tresspass here and drink 40s, back when we was kids.

An obviously cool thing about these abandoned parks is that they're outside. So if you're the type of person who likes to poke around in derelict structures, you have an easy approach and getaway as opposed to breaking into an abandoned coat factory or something. Also probably less chance of coming into contact with toxic chemicals and building materials.

Thanks Sunny! A good addition to this compendium.
What fascinates me most is how these places remain in their decayed state for so long. Decades sometimes. Aren't there any kids completely ravishing the place at night? Or looters stripping the whole park of valuable iron? This never ceases to amaze me.

Great article about it from 1995, but wish it had all the haunting pictures of the ruined remains that were in the print edition. I found some current photos online though:

Oh God. Considering that Mr. Blobby is pretty much the scariest thing to ever exist in the world an I simply cannot handle an abandoned Blobby theme park. At all.
