Abandoned Amusement Park
Hey! Second time posting here.

Last July-August I went to Berlin, Germany to visit some friends.

For years I've always wanted to check out this abandoned amusement park that lies pretty much right in the city.

Luckily for me one of my friends had just been around the place and knew exactly where to go so one beautiful summer day we went there to take some photos.

We didn't really spend that much time inside when we managed to get in though, my friends started to get nervous and wanted to bail before being caught by security.

So I didn't get the most varied photos but I decided to post a couple of them anyway.

Enjoy!





The first photo I took of the place. Taken outside through a fence. We kept being followed by this car all the while taking photos of the place from outside. We're guessing it was security just waiting to catch us going in. We went all around to the other side when we eventually decided to go in.


Information booths I'm guessing. The most interesting thing about these was all the flyers on the floor with times for acts or concerts. They must have been laying there on the floor since the place closed down over 10 years ago. A picture of those flyers is posted later on in this post.






And here's that flyer. Over 10 years it's been there. I think that's pretty cool.


And an overgrown entrance to the place. Now we're finally inside the amusement park. We were so damn scared of getting caught. Sneaking around like we were avoiding snipers or something.


Ah, the overgrown roads with some kind of train-track. Took a couple of photos of this but this was the only photo where you could actually se the track. When we walked further into the forest you came to point where you couldn't even see the asphalted road anymore. Just vegetation everywhere. Damn beautiful for a fan of post-apocalyptic imagery like myself.


And the classic roller-coaster. It wouldn't be an amusement park without one of these. When we found this I was pretty happy and didn't mind too much that my friends wanted to go out. I was pretty limited in the angle to take photos of it so most of my pictures look pretty much the same.

I wanted to take a look at the building there but my friends had grown increasingly nervous and the place was pretty much in the open.

So this was where we decided to go back outside.



It was a damn cool place. And it's comforting to know the place have been there abandoned for over 10 years so I probably still have time to check it out again.

Btw, later that day we met some people one of my friends knew in berlin. It turned out they had been to the amusement park as well that very same day and been caught by security and thrown out.

Maybe it was a good thing I had careful friends with me. :)
