Abandoned Theme Parks

1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
I would like to visit the theme parks that are on different parts of the world because they have different stuff.
The theme parks in America usually have the same kind of roller coasters and attractions. Plus in the other theme parks that are around the world have more interesting backgrounds/ reasons why they were closed. In America theme parks the story usually is that they became less popular and was forced to closed.2. Post one photo from that park.
3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.
  • Abandoned Malls
  • Haunted/Old/Abandoned  Hotels
  • Old Skateparks
  • Buildings After Fires
  • Rusted Cars
4. Use google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.

5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
 I would like to take pictures there because i feel that hotels have a lot of stories behind them, and when they were abandoned then it means that some of the evidence for those stories were left behind. I would expect to take alot of pictures of vintage stuff
6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot.
I would take alot of shorts since those place wont have air-conditioning. i would have to pay for the hotel, airplane tickets, and my food. I would probably have to get permission from either city or the owner cause those places tend to be closed off and are private areas.
