The Worlds Largest ABANDONED Amusement Park | Wonderland Eurasia
Рет қаралды 223,391
2 жыл бұрынWonderland Eurasia also known as ankapark is the largest theme park in Europe and the second largest in the world. Sitting the middle of the capital of Turkey this $750,000,000 park sits completely abandoned with every attraction, every gift, as well a all of the food completely deserted. Construction started in 2013 on Ataturks forest farm and zoo land and halted several times until 2019 when the park finally decided it was time to open up. Sadly a lack of attendance and financial struggles caused the theme park to close its doors for good only 11 months after the grand opening. The park is now a waste land surrounded by security guards. This is our journey to the largest abandoned theme park in the world.

It's so sad that nobody in this great big world of ours could make this place work. There has got to be somebody that can get this place up and running. It's a shame that it's just going to sit and rot when it has so much potential to be a family fun place for so many. It drives me crazy to see how many abandoned homes, mansions, business's and many more places just sit and rot throughout the world and then there are so many homeless people that can have places to go but nobody is supposed to be in the abandoned buildings.

I keep buying lottery tickets praying to win so I can go to UK.OR WALES OR SCOTLAND AND BUY A CASTLE AND TURN IT INTO APTS FOR VERY POOR PEOPLE. THEY WOULD PAY VERY LITTLE. DO SOME WORK. GARDENING OR CLEANING. ID WANT TO HOUSE ABOUT 12 TO 15. PPL. WELL THATS MY DREAM TO MAKE OPERATION $$ FOR POWER. TAXES. HEAT. OH I GET VETERANS TO RENOVATE FOR GOOD$$ We'd all have to cook too. I'd develop some activities and we'd have a wonderful time make Wine and Beer in the cellar. My DREAM ....IF GOD IS WILLING!!!

@@boessheila50 why a castle? Too unrealistic i'm afraid, they cost far too much to heat and maintain. Nice sentiment though.

I can't even begin to image how loud it must have been inside those domes, when all of the rides were working at once. So sad to see the park closed. What a thrill for kids to see.

Their best coaster is an Intamin 10 inversion coaster clone (Colossus at Thorpe Park was the original, it's an exact copy). Obviously the downfall of a park is never something I'd root for as a roller coaster enthusiast but it's not like this park had anything to stand out. I'm honestly a lot more devostated looking at the state of parks like Geagua Lake, Conneaut Lake Park, Williams Grove Park, Six Flags New Orleanes, ect. All parks with unique coasters to make them stand out. On top of various non-coaster related issues, this place needs a Cedar Fair ownership of Canada's Wonderland level turnaround in its coaster lineup to have a chance of success. The fact that I'm more interested in a park with 17 coasters from an urbex standpoint than I am as a coaster enthusiast speaks volumes.

This was fascinating! between it being so recently abandoned, and so many of the attractions indoors, the rides and decorations were basically pristine. It's also nice to see the creativity in parks that aren't totally themed with existing IP. Great video!

i’m from turkey so i’d like to give some insight for those asking why it’s never been used since i haven’t seen anybody explaining 😊 so first off, the park is located in the capital city of turkey which is not a tourist attraction so it is only for the local people which is absurd. It’s a wishful thinking for the city to become like Paris or LA just because of an amusement park 😅😅 also sadly, it would be naive to call this failure just a wishful thinking. Then mayor of the city is a complete lunatic and wasted government resources without a proper planning to this absurdity while the native folk is actually fighting with poverty. I won’t get into any details but if you know anything about turkish politics and how corrupt the current government is, you know what i’m talking about 😅😅 well let’s just say some rich people got richer.. This place is basically the monument of the imaginery claim of the turkey being a super power on global scale which is far from truth 😅

similar to this theme park, there was a poorly planned "castle village" built in Turkey that cost a huge amount of money and was eventually abandoned. The castles look so out of place with so many of them in a row. They are an ugly eye sore for locals and they want them all torn down.
