Inside the creepy abandoned Florida theme park where once bustling rollercoasters and rides have gone to wrack and ruin
Boomers! in Dania Beach in Florida closed down in January 2015
THEME parks are often packed with thrill-seekers queuing up to get on the latest ride however these creepy images show what they look like when no one uses them.
Boomers! in Dania Beach in Florida closed down in January 2015.
Since then nothing has been done to the site which has allowed Mother Nature to take over.
The park's owner is Dania Woody LLC which cited "business reasons" for ceasing operations but it is thought the high cost of maintaining a wooden roller coaster in Florida's warm climate and low ridership may have been a factor.
Though is was later states that the company had filed for bankruptcy.
Prior to the whole park closes, the Dania Beach Boomers and Hurricane Rollercoaster was closed in April 2011.
The 3,200 foot long roller coaster was opened in November 2000 and was the largest wooden roller coaster in Florida.
It has been reported that Aventura-based developer, Master Development, had a contract on the land to build a development which will include shops, a hotel, restaurants and apartments.
Developers are planning a complex called The Landings at Dania Beach, a £250 million-plus project including big-box retail stores, casual and formal restaurants, at least one hotel, apartments and possibly condos and offices.
It is a joint venture of Master Development, Salzman Real Estate Advisors of Dania Beach and the New York-based Kimco real estate investment trust.
Plans to tear down the roller coaster were postponed because signing leases and getting city approvals for the shopping centre were more important.
Earlier this week haunting images showed deserted remains of a 130-year-old Alabama steel mill.
Snaps show 30-foot high chimneys which are still standing, a forgotten invoice and graffiti-clad walls.
The pictures were taken by an urban explorer calling himself Abandoned Southeast at Ensley Steel Works in Birmingham, Alabama.
