Huffington Post called him “a master of the abandoned”—and for good reason. The “artivist” known only as Seph Lawless has spent the last ten years photo-documenting the America that was left behind in the throes of economic instability and overall decline—decrepit shopping malls, houses, factories, even amusement parks. Through nearly two hundred gorgeous and elegiac photographs, Abandoned details Lawless’s journey into what was once the very heart of American entertainment: the amusement park. Lawless visits deserted parks across the country, capturing in stark detail their dilapidated state, natural overgrowth, and obvious duality of sad and playful symbolism. Previously self-published as Bizarro, this updated edition of Lawless’s photographic tribute to decaying American amusement parks contains new content and a new foreword. For the first time, the famed photojournalist Seph Lawless makes his moving work available in a stunning trade edition.

Frontier Town Abandoned Theme Park Then and Now is a coffee table style book that documents the conception, life, and closing of the beloved Adirondack Mountain's historically based theme park called "Frontier Town." With America being romanced by Western movies on the big screen and television, the country was ready for a western themed amusement park. Arthur Bensen, Edward Ovensen and Magnus Anderson, three Long Island Norwegian-American friends came together to open America's first western themed amusement park located in North Hudson, NY yet it was set to the traditions of the 1800's old west while offering local trade crafts and wares. The first year it drew over 40,000 visitors with little advertising. Over the next 45 years the park continued to host millions of visitors, and averaged over 300 employees and volunteers per season. The park included a collection of genuine log buildings which formed a traditional frontier town, a professional rodeo arena, a historical industrial section that included a grist mill, saw mill, forge, and ice house. It also included a traditional Native American village, animals, stage coach rides, and a fort with a full cavalry. This book documents the history of Frontier Town through professional photography as well as visitor's snapshots that are combined with historical storytelling that give the reader a feel of what Frontier Town was all about! Tammy Whitty-Brown's gift of gab and historical connections combined with her storytelling abilities and Jennifer Renee ST.Pierre's equestrian background and photography are showcased with their love of Adirondack history

What was once in every child's dream is now just an echo in the wind of a past gone by. Horror Island Amusement Park had the largest Ferrous Wheel, the biggest roller coaster, and a beautiful view of the ocean. After many years, of weather, lack of funding, and dwindling attendance, the amusement park was shut down and boarded up. But that wasn't the only reason for the decrease in attendance and the closing of the park. Reports of poor maintenance on the rides were the cause of many deaths and the major cause of shutting down the amusement park. Thirty years later, there were reports of strange things going on at the abandoned amusement park. At night the rides started up on their own and the funny thing was, is that the park had been out of operation for over thirty years without any power. The police were called out to the park many times to investigate, but when they located the power supply all the wires were ripped out of the fuse boxes. The police also reported hearing laughter and voices as though the amusement park was still in full operation. A sign was put on the front gate of the amusement park which read "No trespassing! Any violators will be prosecuted." A local ghost-hunting group decided they would try and solve the strange goings on at the Horror Island Amusement Park. They called themselves "The Ghost Detectors Society." The Ghost Detectors Society consisted of Darren, Karen, and Steve. They all thought solving the strange happenings would bring them fame, but they should have just stuck to doing the small stuff. Darren picked an overcast day to set the mood of the investigation. The fame-struck ghost hunters met up at the amusement park at the stroke of midnight. Everything was just as perfect as any ghost hunter would have wanted it to be, overcast and windy. Everyone had all their ghost-hunting equipment, in their briefcases ready for the big event to unfold. As they approached the gate, Darren said, "Everyone check your equipment to make sure everything is operating properly. Karen chimed in, "Darren, do you think we're going to find any proof, or is this just a bunch of made-up stuff to bring curious ghost hunters like us to make fools out of us." Darren exclaimed, "If we don't find any evidence we can at least say we believe that what we are doing as ghost hunters is worth the effort. Not every ghost hunter finds evidence, but when they do, it gives other ghost hunters like ourselves, hope that there are unexplainable things that make it worth looking into. I don't care what anybody thinks of what we are doing is just a waste of time, if we didn't believe, we all would be at home playing video games and there would never be such things as ghost hunters. Thank goodness there are believers like us willing to take the risk of tapping into the unknown. I don't think any one of us would rather be at home playing video games. Let’s just be happy. Our ghost-hunting dreams have brought us closer together as friends. I believe we were brought here for a reason and that reason is to find ghosts. Steve, is your equipment ready? "Yes, all my batteries are at full charge." "What about you Karen? Is your equipment good to go?" "Yes, everything is fine. I sure hope we get some good video footage." These young ghost hunters are about to stir up some ghost activity that should have stayed buried in the abandoned amusement park forever.

Reginald Van de Velde takes photos of forgotten places, of abandoned spaces where time has ground to a halt. His haunting photos are simply breathtaking Many exclusive locations that have never been photographed before The unknown and the unseen have always held an undeniable appeal to the human nature. In a world that is ever growing and changing, there are places that inevitably slip out of memory and out of sight.

As a devoted traveller, he journeys into forsaken places all over the world, trying to capture the momentum of a fragile abandonment - the result of an intangible desire to explore what mankind has left behind. The chapters written by Mirna Pavlovic weave the photographs together into a larger narrative, providing an insight into the photographer's thoughts and motivations, and breathe in new life to places desperately searching for it. With the reverb of time as a vantage point, this book will take you on a journey to places that exist between nowhere and never.

When Long Island became a suburban paradise after World War II, ambitious entrepreneurs created dozens of amusement parks to help families unwind. The Nunley family built a park in Baldwin in 1939, and it was so successful that they opened Nunley's Happyland in Bethpage just a few years later. Westbury's Spaceland fascinated youngsters with dreams of becoming astronauts, and Frontier City in Amityville was heaven on earth to fans of the Wild West. Today, historic parks like Deno's Wonder Wheel Park in Coney Island and Adventureland in Farmingdale still delight children and remind parents of happy memories of their own. Local author Marisa Berman explores the decades of fun and laughter from Long Island's historic amusement parks.

A historical tour of fun and frolic in the five boroughs—including photos from the good old days. Coney Island is an iconic symbol of turn-of-the-century New York—but many other amusement parks have thrilled the residents of the five boroughs. Strategically placed at the end of trolley lines, railways, public beaches, and waterways, these playgrounds for the rich and poor alike first appeared in 1767. From humble beginnings, they developed into huge sites like Fort George, Manhattan’s massive amusement complex. Each park was influenced by the culture and eclectic tastes of its owners and patrons—from the wooden coasters at Staten Island’s Midland Beach to beer gardens on Queens’ North Beach and fireworks blasting from the Bronx’s Starlight Park. As real estate became more valuable, these parks disappeared. With this historical tour, you can rediscover the thrills of the past from the lost amusement parks of New York City.

Rediscover the magic of the Enchanted Forest in this history of Maryland's Storybook Park, the first children's theme park on the East Coast. The history of the Enchanted Forest is one of magical beginnings. When it first opened in 1955, Ellicott City's storybook land became the first children's theme park on the East Coast. Young visitors could climb aboard rides like the Little Toot tugboat, Mother Goose and Ali Baba or encounter animals like peacocks and burros. Upon its closing in 1989, Marylanders who cherished memories of the Enchanted Forest were deeply disappointed. However, many of the park's beloved figures were moved to nearby Clark's Elioak Farm, where they were restored and displayed to the delight of new generations. Even today, the farm is a popular destination that evokes the whimsical spirit of the iconic park. Local author Janet Kusterer and Martha Anne Clark of Elioak Farm trace the park's history through vintage images and interviews with the Harrison family, former employees and visitors. Join Kusterer and Clark to rediscover the magic of the Enchanted Forest.
