In todays video we explore an abandoned amusement park that left everything behind and is very untouched, this place first opened in 1999 an was left abandoned in 2008 due to money issues. Everything in the park was based in the 1920s up to the 1990s. In 2015 the park owners decided to tear down the rollercoasters in the park. if you enjoy subscribe!

I knew immediately where you were. I went there as a kid. Thank you for your Bible verses. To me they’re comforting.

Ha! I worked there 2002-2005. I worked at the Last Chance Diner in '03, The Ice Cream Parlor l, photo shop, and candy store in 2004, Then in late 2004 I transferred to attractions and worked the smaller rollercoaster and the ferris wheel. ☺️ My sister was one of the managers of the Wildcat coaster.

So cool without all the vandalism and graffiti. I wish more abandonded places would be like that. I've also been to Six Flags New Orleans and sadly almost everything is kind of destroyed there.

Celebration City was a theme park located in Branson, Missouri, United States. It was themed after America in the 20th century, with areas based on Route 66, Small-town America in the 1900s, and a beachside boardwalk in the 1920s

It opened in 2003, and closed October 25th, 2008. The park was designed to show life throughout the 20th century. The woman still owns it, but she said they currently don't have blue prints for a new park. However, she said it doesn't mean she won't use it eventually to make a new park. The church still is renting it

I grew up in Youngstown Ohio and we had a small park~ Idora Park. It was an amusement park from 1899 until 1984. There was a fire that wrecked the place. The park tried to recover but never could. The spotlight of Idora was the carousel ~ it was purchased and moved to Brooklyn, NY of all places! Today it’s known as Jane’s Carousel♥️

Fun fact: there are many rides from here that went to other theme parks. One of the theme parks being Wild Adventures in Valdosta Ga. So as sad as it is to see this place abandoned, at least a good portion of rides were able to be sold off and used at other theme parks!

The church was renting out the amiptheater before they closed. On Sundays they would have morning service, but they had to be all cleaned up for the parks opening in the evening. Many late nights they would stay up before Sunday Morning trying to set up, and get stuff ready.
