Abandoned buildings, cities and other structures draw people in. There is something inherent about the the decay of society and the lack of people that is magnetic. You don’t have to be an urban explorer to be interested in seeing the hidden parts of society. Secret, forgotten places are meant to be discovered. These amusement parks from around the world have been long since forgotten by society. Even if only a decade has passed, it looks as if the harsh winds of time swept over these places. Most of the evidence of a human presence has been wiped away. The emptiness lure people in… but it’ll also give you nightmares.
