Abandoned Amusement Park, North Korea

Bizarre abandoned amusement Park in DPRK

Located in Downtown Pyongyang Near the Kim Il Sung Stadium and in the west side of Moran Hill is the abandoned Kaeson Youth Park.

“It turns out there are three funfairs in Pyongyang in various states of disrepair, the largest being the Kaeson Youth Park.Opened in 1984, it was built to project an image of progress and the ingenuity of its citizens. Backed by Russia and China when they were heavily funding the DPRK’s growth, the Kaeson Youth Park is the largest of three funfairs still in operation in the greater Pyongyang area.” Source

Meisho Amusement Machines Built the “roller coaster of death” for this fun fair that was originally named ” Kwansong Tancha”. According to the Roller coasters database this rusty steel coaster first opened in 1984 with opening of the park.

Here are some images of what the park looked like when it was open.
