June 27, 201313 yr Didn't realise it closed down last year. Anyway, a few pictures here of the place taken a few weeks back (taken from another forum), amazing how quickly it starts to look decrepit as nature retakes over the land etc... Went to an abandoned theme park with a friend for her birthday yesterday, was all kinds of awesome Inside the Ghost Train. Was a shame the iPhone camera is a bit crap, the friend I went with is a proper photographer and got some seriously awesome shots but it was too dark for me: On top of the Ghost Train: and again: Diss-used Roller Coaster and again... The cars http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2650/jvol.jpg Underneath it http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7669/2obi.jpg The start: http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/9927/ezp.jpg Climbing it: http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/7968/pu6n.jpg Still climbing... http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/5902/6e90.jpg Still climbing... This picture doesn't do it much justice, but it's just over 100 feet high, when you get about half way up the wind is ridiculous - It was absolutely pissing it down as well so I went back down without taking any pictures before I fell to my death http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/8640/7y6p.jpg From a distance, you can see the platform I was stood on in the middle :scared: http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/3151/f6tt.jpg Spooky old building: http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/2304/2hby.jpg Bertie Basset's Driving School http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/2729/nrpc.jpg Old tracks: http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/374/1i40.jpg Jousting arena: http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/5052/swd7.jpg Royal box at the jousting arena: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/4879/i078.jpg Grandstand at said arena: http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/7775/i8b0.jpg Underneath the Pirate Ship: http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/328/iszd.jpg Amusingly place sign near her arse at the Pirate Ship http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/9053/mj0z.jpg Diss-used kid's rollercoaster: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/7796/ksqt.jpg the lake it's set by: http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8619/4bh.jpg Edited June 27, 201313 yr by bwfcdan
June 27, 201313 yr Going to a Back to the old school at Park Hall next Saturday. Not been for years, hopefully that part's still in good nick Rave on! Also, what kind of a person says "all kinds of awesome"?
June 27, 201313 yr 'All kinds of awesome', yeh it's a bit weird, It's just the pics I'm interested in though. I'd love to get this 'Urban Exploring' lark, I find it fascinating. I always enjoy scouring the 28 Days Later site, some excellent pictures.

June 28, 201313 yr Are these from that UK underground forum? I went on there for what was intended to be a minute or two and ended up trawling it for hours! Some of those disused mental institutes and orphanages are "all kinds of creepy"! http://www.ukurbex.com/ Edited June 28, 201313 yr by Marc505

Blatant rip off of Disney but some quality photos in there. http://www.michaeljohngrist.com/2010/09/nara-dreamland-japans-last-abandoned-theme-park/
June 28, 201313 yr Any abandoned fair ground worth its salt should have a bent caretaker and the Scooby Doo gang on his case.
June 28, 201313 yr I've got loads of photos of the inside of Blackpool tower before and during I worked on the refurb. Was mad rattling round in there for a year or so,used to have dinner in the circus! They still have all the giant cages they used to keep all the animals used in the circus in the basement,there's even a tunnel that connect the basement to the sea wall,where they used to take the lions and cheetahs out for a walk on the beach. Up in the gods they still had the little midget village set up,where in the 50's/60's they had a family of midgets 'performing'.little midget petrol station and a pub etc....sounds like I'm making this up doesn't it.haha I'll upload some pics later and one of you geeks can waz them over to 28 years earlier if you see fit.
June 28, 201313 yr Apparently the coaster at Camelot is destined for Egypt. ITK, MMW, etc. I always find it a little bit sad when things are allowed to sit there going to rack and ruin, the Midland Hotel in Morecambe for example. Thankfully now that has been restored to its former glory though.

Gonzo, bit before your time but did you, or your old man, know a ginger bloke who used to paint the outside of the tower? Used to drink in the Bispham, mad as a box of frogs but had some amazing photos from the top of the tower, and when I say the top I mean hanging on the lightning conductor!
June 28, 201313 yr Haha I'll ask him mate...he moved to Blackpool in 81 so may be even before his time! My mate tried to climb he tower off his tits after benign thrown out of heaven and hell once. Got on top of a bin outside and that was that.
June 28, 201313 yr Images of the fairground at Chernobyl are some of the most haunting pics around. It was due to open just a few days after the disaster. The morbid side of me would love to visit the area. I'd not be buying any undies there though... Edited June 28, 201313 yr by DazBob

Got on top of a bin outside and that was that. Was early to mid nineties. I'll see if anyone remembers his name when we're up there at the party tomorrow night. Edit: Here you go, the guy lower down looks like him. Edited June 28, 201313 yr by Andydee

June 28, 201313 yr Another Blackpool mentalist (must breed 'em up there!). Thought it was photoshopped at first but look at the shadow and make your own mind up.
June 28, 201313 yr I could never do that, I'm terrified of heights. I would be clinging on for grim death, sobbing like a baby, if I was up there
June 28, 201313 yr I could never do that, I'm terrified of heights. I would be clinging on for grim death, sobbing like a baby, if I was up there No you wouldn't. You'd be screaming, "GET ME DOWN FROM HERE. GET ME FUCKING DOWN!" Like when we were on that big wheel with Dad.

June 28, 201313 yr These have been posted before but a worth showing again. Blackpool tower and the surrounding area at night, superb images. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/high-stuff/59065-blackpool-tower-mar-2011-a.html These are my two favourite pics. Edited June 28, 201313 yr by bwfcdan
