Bizarre Parks in Asia

Sad toys hang around - and a bunch of ferocious rabbits haunts the premises:

Spectacularly overgrown roller coaster - and "Okutama Ropeway" still offers great view from the cabins:

Here is a misty ride 250km north of Tokyo

Would you trust these rusty rails with another ride? Maybe, if you're in a 1980s horror movie.

Many parks in China were originally built to as "People's Parks", for many years being the focus of family fun and activities in large cities. With huge changes in the Chinese economy and a lack of funds for upkeep, many are lying in disarray, and yet many more are still open and maintained by dedicated workers.

Here is a Shanghai theme park with dioramas and statues intended to represent countries around the world, abandoned for nearly 10 years - photos by Wesley:
