Great , I have to go play Myst now.............

Good to see it's back on the top viewed, this YTMND was one of my absolute favorites.

^Wrong.

why the f*ck is this back?

spirited away. paprika. cod4.

These are really cool pictures, but not scary.

What's the point?

Quite errie

So sad

+1

Ohhh, is that the amusement park from Silent Hill, creepy. Should have used music from Silent Hill, then I would have 5'd. But good job though.

Not the amusement park from Silent Hill, it's an abandoned amusement park in Japan.

+1

5' gives off a strange, slightly creepy, but nostalgic type mood, quite a rare one.

+2

I remember seeing the website about this theme park. It's actually a place in Japan.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

There is something very creepy about this. Good work.

I don't usually like the serious ytmnd's, but most of the serious ones are the ones that make no sense, and this one does, it's pretty cool, 5'd

i dont know why but i found that a little sad

I dont think I've ever been more disturbed by a YTMND before and that includes goatse

thats scary, id make them start those ride, i love amusement parks

spooky creepy sexy hungry time

Quite abandoned. from Chernobyl?

+1

"Why is that creepy?" It really isn't. Maybe if it were night time, hellfire everywhere, and a giant ass-raping clowing with a chainsaw were chasing you.

+2

Night of the Comet.

Old Mr. Withers scared them kids away, and he would have gotten away with it too if it werent for that pesky Duvessa.

Uh, eh, n-now, eventually you might have dinosaurs on your, on your dinosaur tour, right?... Hello?... Hello, hello… Yes?

f*ckin sweet, it must be great for the hobos and crack heads that huddle in the old ferris wheel carts for warmth.

This place looks haunted

I'm a little creeped out to be perfectly honest

profound

The f*ck is up with the "serenity" and "firefly" keywords?

-1

not sure why, but this is genuinely creepy

Early version of the site used music from Firefly, but was changed to Myst quickly, like a dolt, I forgot to take out the old keywords. Gone now. :)

enjoy your stay

: ' (

*sigh* I really do hate that man...

Something makes me feel uneasy.

It'd definitely be a good place for a Myst-type game.

Needed the Abandoned Clown Train.

sweet

Its like the farriswheel near chernobyl.

knew it had to be japan lol 5

It's not funny or amusing, just interesting. I couldn't help to think that this would be a perfect setting for some type of horror movie. I was also sad, especially about seeing a decent rollercoaster going to waste.

very cool. i thought my trip to an abandoned nuclear missle base was impressive. maybe i should make a ytmnd about that...

thoroughly creepy, these pictures blow my mind.

Wow the next Myst game eh

creepy

dude! get out of there! that place is radioactive! why do you think they all left 16 years ago?!!! O_O!

how post-apocalyptic

DIBS, no one touch it its MINE!

Very cool; definitely creates a mood you don't see very often

creepy

This is a great find. if there were more sites like this then ytmnd wouldn't be 90% sh*t. nice to see something other than the usual pointless stupid site. you win

interesting, but nothing special

Very, very creepy. Usually an abandoned place like this would be vandalized and destoryed to pieces. Thing is... all of the images show none of that.

wow.

Creepy

Why would.. what... why?!

creepy indeed. i would love to go there on halloween

4'd for music

seen this years ago. rating is way to high for a slideshow with myst music

-3

:' ( This ytmnd is completely different in tone, subject matter and excecution from any other one Iv'e seen. Nice work.

this is awesomely terrifying.

nice nice

Expect your site to be deleted if it lacks humor and includes any of the following: anime, extreme racism, hardcore pornography, anything illegal, pictures of your friends, inside jokes, etc THIS LACKS HUMOR

-6

Aww, so your 9-year old brain couldn't understand what was going on?

+1

I think it'd be awesome to screw around in an abandoned amusement park.

That's really creepy for some reason. As someone mentioned, there's no grafiti at all. Is that near the bomb site?

trippy. i love all of the trippy/artistic sites that are coming up lately

Somewhere, a clown just died.

It's good to see some more YTMND's that appeal to emotions. YTMND is not JUST a humor website.

Why would anyone abandon an amusement park? That's like an abandoned pile of money.

Nicely done, though I recommend checking out the site the images came from: http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/t_rando/t_rando1.html I can't wait for someone to riff this with the same MYST music to scenes of an abandoned Rollercoaster Tycoon amusement park!

Different.

It does seem post-apocalyptic... 5'd!

+1

BEAUTIFUL

where in Japan? old abondoned stuff is cool and hobos can live there

Does this mean I don't have to keep my arms and legs inside the ride at all times?

GOD. I kept trying to place the music without checking and failed. Myst, I love you. I can see why Silent Hill loves to have themepark areas, though. Man that's creepy.

5'd for Myst music. These pics really look like something from Myst...

Really cool stuff.

Myst XVII: A New Age of Fun

creepy

awesome...just awesome...

Quick, someone make MYSTMND!

+1

It looks safe.

that's creepy-cool

Creepy

melancholy

Can't put my finger on exactly why this is so cool, but it is.

Coster Nerd Hell.

*perfect* music selection

wow... amazing to see something once so full of life now so full of life in a different sense.

That is really creepy:/

Also very Halo like, what with overgrowth and such.

Yeah, I thought Myst immediately when watching this. This is pretty cool.

where is your amusement NOW?

+2

dont know what to rate dis.

win

Yeah, apparently there are a lot of sights like this in Japan due to the recession they've been feeling for awhile. It's a sad thing, though it's worth mentioning that the movie Spirited Away kicks off in an abandoned amusement park and a few words of explanation are given. I enjoyed this YTMND, though, the music was a good choice and made it tragic. Not the traditional YTMND I would reserve 5's for, but it evoked a good reaction and that's what good art (which in this case is juxtaposition) does.

Friggin Creepy

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Lynchland!

reminds me of that one level in Painkiller BooH. good times :)

FIRE THAT F*CKING COASTER UP!

It's so sad...

Pretty artistic. But it sucks as a YTMND.

Extremely good, I would've given you a 5 if you were the photographer.

Beautiful. You just inspired me to write a novel.

Makes me think of the abandoned zoo used as the Penguin's lair in Batman Returns.

i wanted so bad for there to be a surprise NEDM on there

I love creepy pictures of abandoned places like amusement parks and old insane asylums. Don't know why but I like them.

this needs the sound of distant children laughing for extra weirdness...

Even moreso, the Coney Island amusement park rendered underwater in the future from "A.I."

How could a place of such architectonically genius turn into a place of such sorrow and despair. The metal, and wood of that place yells with great grief, and suffering, yearning for the days long past *Cries lightly*

i find myself coming back to this site, I like it a lot.

that looks like a good setting for a slasher movie to me.

Cool

Could make a pretty gruesome scene with the swings. Have some bodies hanging from there or something.

I say we go there for a YTMND convention!

^ lol

I'm diggin the effects from the images+music combo. Interesting site. Can't help but think of Silent Hill.

i love these pictures! but i think that the music would be better if it were "liquid sphere waltz" or "for whom the bell tolls" both from the donnie darko soundtrack.

yeah, i'm sorry. i just liked it so much i wanted to see it with the music i suggested. call me impatient. its just so beautiful. heres to people that just don't get it! ::cheers!::

For some reason I was waiting for Pyramid Head to jump out!

This made me sad.

Very sad to see all that going to waste

Sponsoring FTW

when i saw this, the first thing i thought of was Chernobyl, but this is in Japan. why did it get abandoned?

Dude seriously that is a great effect. Perfect choice of music.

I'd f*ck that park.

To AngryCat, did you ever see Spirited Away? The Father in that movie said that many amusement parks in Japan went bankrupt and were abandoned in the late 80's/early 90's. If you want to see even scarier pictures of parks that are actually open, I saw some Egyptian park where a lot of the rides were incredibly broken down and the go-kart track became a running track. Then at Nara Dreamland, another Japanese park, there's that old rollercoaster they converted into a walkthrough because of budget troubles.

music reenforces the creepy/melancholic feeling

someone make a Chernobyl site (im too lazy): http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~dmcmill/ and http://englishrussia.com/?p=293 have good pictures.

reminds me so much of silent hill

so f*ckin' beautiful and eerie at the same time...

Creepy. I immediately thought "next Silent Hill game"?

This is sooo Silent Hill!

+5 for the YTMND itself, but -2 for self-sponsership.

Whoa, that's creepy

+1

Hmm...mysterious...

oooooh

I love abandoned amusement parks

My God... it's full of stars...

I've seen a lot of these, but they never stop evoking...just weirdness. Very Myst-esque, so kudos for using something from the soundtrack.

I never played Myst. Is it good?

Reminds me of the DK virtual museums.

There's just something about the pics/music that makes this eerie... nice work!

Ok I think i found the name of the park is called "Yokohama Dreamland" i don't know if it's the real name or a different park but 5 for making me saying this

Sorry after look for more info i got the Wrong park sorry guys i will keep on looking

That is some really haunting and creepy sh**. What park is that?

It seems like a setting for a Silent Hill game. Or a horror movie. Its kinda sad to see it like that

reminds me of hitman blood money first level

+5 for creativity -1 for no funniness +1 for erie music

Eerie like a canal.

odd..

What an intriging setting! That looks like a fun place to climb. I thot the music was bland and stale tho, and not eerie or ominous, but I can't think of any alternatives to suggest.

dude that is awesome i have to go there! and HOLY SH*T look at that f*cking yo-yo! did kids actually hang off of it with their legs??? no wonder that place was shut down

Depressing, yet interesting.

Poor amusment park.

Oh wow. Closed and they didn't even bother tearing stuff down... wonder what happened.

Who in the hell abandons an amusement park?

"stone in focus" would work here, too

This upsets me :(

I saw those in /x/. God how I'd love to see that place.

Very eerie.

scary/interesting

Dude. Creepy. 5'd

Be on the lookout for a possessed female cop.

DUDE this remind me of the game MYST then I saw your friggen MUSIC!!!!!!!!!

ho.

creepy

I found a digital camera in an amusement park...:D

How many amusement parks did the Japanese build? Christ...

not funny. enough said

-3

It's just...so sad.

Looks like something you would see in a zombie game.

The pics arent cary at all, but the music makes me get goosebumps. almost makes me wanna cy at the dismemberment, but its so cool. so many eelings for one YTMND. 4

I don't know why everyone finds this creepy. It has a bit of a sad aura to it, but I think that place would be awesome to just hang out at and crawl around. Quite frankly, I'm surprised it was just up and abandoned like that. I would've thought they would've at least tried to sell some of the rides, etc, if for nothing more than the materials that made them. To just leave it like that seems... well, uneconomical.

5 for Myst.

Was expecting a screamer, heh.

its cool

this makes me feel lonley... oh wait, i actually have no friends... damn.

This gives me chills

Creepy

+1

That'd be a cool site to have a paintball war. 5'd + Fav'd. Same sh*t. Good work mang.

5'd for myst music

LOL NO TALENT

-4

LOL NO BRAIN

+4

Creepy, Cool, Beautiful. But I'm more surprized to see more than 20 sq ft of japan not paved.

this looks like it came from Silent Hill

Perfect setting for a horror movie.

Rather interesting, though I must say the mirror on the carousel looks pretty damn clean for being so old... Maybe a little cloudy, but the reflection was very clear and there were no dirt or water stains on it.

bravo Duvessa, you've made a site that's got everyone psycho nuts about this sh*t being haunted like silent hill. way to go, mang!

Scary and depressing!

That made me feel sad. Am I gay? No, I think it just the whole how memories can be found in the most sh*tty places.

the fact that its in japan makes it scary to me... japanese things scare me 4 no reason

remember the mirror on the carousel is under the roof though, so it hasn't been too exposed.

holy sh*t, super 5 for myst nostalgia, i heard the music and knew i knew it but couldnt put my finger on it without the seagull noises in the background

Eerie.

Quite interesting

:(

wow kinda eerie looking....like silent hilly shyt. Nice touch with the myst music.

This would be very creepy at night. Also, with the limited space Japan has, you would think the amusment park would be demolised and something else built in it's place. Like housing or some such.

Totally sublime and chilling

look out for old man smithers!

reminds me of atami or something

Uhm, not funny. The internet here is not serious business. 3'ed

-2

Die in real life.

Mmm... yesss.... go play Myst. And sign up for UruLive while you're at it. (http://www.urulive.com) You know you want to. (BTW, Myst music + abandoned theme park = excellent pairing)

10 gold stars to whoever can find the first body!

Nature has a way to overcome...

NEEDS DR-L337

lol, something should have poped up screaming, it would have scared the sh*t out of me.

awesome. you should play painkiller: battle out of hell .... there is a level called looney park like this....it f*cking rocks

I like it, reminds me of Chernobyl or somethin

I'd also recommend the abandoned meat processing plant( http://home.f01.itscom.net/spiral/niku/niku1.html ), replete with rusty meat hooks hanging from the ceiling. It seems the Japanese specialize in creepy as f*ck abandoned buildings.

O_O -_- O_O -_- O_O -_- -_- -_- -_- -_-

+1

Err... Ok I'm not gonna vote

and they just left it there? that's a pretty bad *ss looking roller coaster

sad...

;_;

Sad but really beautiful. I love the nostalgic aura places like this have.

Sounds like a band name, or a Scooby Doo episode

Japanese people are my heroes

Needs "The Glow" music from the game Fallout, or the Cathedral music

This one didnt freak me out as much as the mental hospital, but that first picture is really really cool. I did get a little creeped out when i saw this was myst music.. memories...

Where the hell are the headcrabs?

creepy as f*ck!

very eerie, if you actually went there i would love you but still freaky sh*t

SILENT HILL!!

I wonder if there's anything like this in america.

+5 for usage of myst

Kinda frightening

that was stupid

OMG SO SAD

definitely has a silent hill kind of feel to it...

Those are some great pictures.

Looks like we've got a mystery to solve gang!

Kinda makes me sad to see a park like this. Those coasters look like they would have been pretty fun back when they worked.

For a second there, I thought this was some sh*t in Chernobyl or something. Wow, thats f*cked up.

really creepy...

Chilling, I liked it.

I can already imagine an YTMND about "PERFECTLY NORMAL AMUSEMENT PARK" with this music, but pictures, with kids and all... LOL!

"Rather interesting, though I must say the mirror on the carousel looks pretty damn clean for being so old... Maybe a little cloudy, but the reflection was very clear and there were no dirt or water stains on it." thats caused its used at night when the sun goes down.

This is a serious wtf. I mean, even if they went bakrupt, why hasn't this thing been torn down? Or bought back for that matter? Is that in Hiroshima or something?

THE ONE ROLLER COASTER HAD THREE STARS!
