http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/offbeat-news/abandoned-asian-theme-parks/6331 for environmentalists who don't take themselves too seriously Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:39:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/offbeat-news/abandoned-asian-theme-parks/6331/comment-page-1#comment-161530 Disneyland Thu, 22 Jan 2009 23:36:51 +0000 http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/?p=6331#comment-161530 I got pointed to this thread from the dark roasted blend website where they had a detailed report on the various abandoned parks in Japan, China, and Laos. I knew they existed throughout the world, but I was a bit naive as to think that when each park closed their doors that these rides and attractions would be taken down. I'm glad, however, that there are keepsakes of some of these parks from their heyday through photographs, postcards, branded banners, etc. It's a testament of a more innocent world where people would gather together in these places with smiles on their faces enjoying the day.
