Step past the locked gates and into a world where roller coasters sit still, funhouses fade into silence, and nature takes back what people left behind. This fascinating nonfiction book takes curious kids on an unforgettable journey through real-life abandoned amusement parks across the world. Once packed with laughter, music, and excitement, these parks now tell a very different story—one of mystery, history, and change. Perfect for readers who love strange facts, spooky places, or behind-the-scenes secrets, this book explores how these parks were built, why they became popular, and what led to their downfall. From natural disasters to changing trends, each chapter uncovers the forces that turned bustling funlands into ghostly playgrounds. Along the way, kids will learn how roller coasters work, how rides are dismantled, and how animals and plants quietly move in when people move out. Filled with surprising stories, clever explanations, and thoughtful insights, this is a one-of-a-kind look at what happens when the lights go out, the gates close for good, and adventure is left behind. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a history buff, or just a curious explorer, this book invites you to discover the magic and mystery hidden in the ruins of once-beloved parks.
