Is there anything spookier than an abandoned amusement park? It's a place where laughter and children's giggles once drifted through the air and where brightly-colored Ferris wheels and thrilling rides made ever-lasting memories. But after being abandoned, the neglected parks become home to apocalyptic scenes of decaying rides and roller coasters that are being reclaimed by mother nature. Let's have a look at the ten creepiest abandoned amusement parks in the world. Number 1 will give you goosebumps, so stayed tuned for that!
Number 10.) Pripyat Amusement Park, Chernobyl, Ukraine
There's no one to blame but ourselves for the downfall of this theme park. Pripyat is the most famous abandoned amusement park in the world. The Pripyat Amusement Park wasn't abandoned due to weather, debt, or mismanagement, but instead the infamous Chernobyl Disaster of April 26, 1986. The grand park opening was actually scheduled for May 1. Reports and photographic evidence indicated that Pripyat Park did open a day after the Disaster, perhaps to help locals cope with the tragedy. The park was briefly accessible to locals, but they were forced to evacuate as reports of dangerously high levels of radiation in the area started to emerge, something habitants and authorities had been unaware of on the day of the nuclear incident. Today, the park remains abandoned, with high levels of radiation present in the moss and surrounding soil.
Number 9.) Takakanonuma Greenland, Japan
Takakanonuma Greenland is the creepiest park on this list. Not only is the park abandoned, but it's off the beaten path location that contributes to the eerie feeling you get when visiting. It was a massive amusement park built in the 1970s. After the park opened in 1973, it closed in '74 or '75; some say it was because a few people died, probably it was to improve the park to attract more visitors. It reopened in 1986 and operated until 1999. But now, it is overgrown by the forest, according to people. It's a truly mysterious place. The actual reason for the close is not clear; different versions attribute it to repairs and deaths on the park's equipment. It is in Hobara Town, Japan. Tt overlooks Fukushima, 250km north of Tokyo. Most of the roller coasters are torn down by now.

Number 8) Dunaujvarosi Vidampark, Hungary
The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 meant many different things for generations of people. It also signified the end for Dunaujvarosi Vidampark in Hungary, which opened way back in the 1950s. It was a communist-run theme park offering free fun for all people. The park was State-run, and After surviving on funds from the communist party for 40 years, it closed its doors only two years after the USSR was dissolved. Today, its rides are rusted and broken, with vegetation having infested nearly every aspect of the park. Meanwhile, modern photographs still show communist slogans and propaganda painted on the walls of what remains of Dunaujvarosi Vidampark, the ghosts of history preserved for all to see. It's truly a ghostly sight and an exciting insight into entertainment under the Soviet regime.
Number 7.) Six Flags, New Orleans
One of the creepiest amusement parks is Six Flags in New Orleans, which fell out of business following severe damage from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The park opened in 2000 and was only operating for a few years before suffering significantly during the hurricane, which displaced 20,000 people and killed nearly 2,000 people. The park closed after Hurricane Katrina, and there wasn't enough funding for repairs, so it fell into further decay over the last few years. To this day, there's still an eerie sign at the entrance of the park that says, 'Closed for the storm'. It's an apocalyptic sight, which has been taken advantage of by Hollywood and used for films such as Jurassic World and Dawn of Planet of the Apes.
