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 probably want to visit Lincoln Park, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts and take my camera along. What made me want to go there is that I think it's kind've interesting that 2 men died and some passengers got injured there. The two that died was because they were doing crazy stuff on a roller coaster, a man stood up in a car and was killed going down a lift. The other man was killed trying to climb from one car to another while the coaster was moving. Then about the passengers, the last car detached from the rest of the coaster and rolled backwards until it derailed, tossing its passengers out, injuring them. I't would be cool to go look around the park & look at the roller coaster that the 2 men died in & the passengers got injured in.

2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.

3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.

Idora Park in Ohio USA. Pripyat Park in Ukraine.  Rocky Point in Rhode Island USA. Enchanted Land in Rio de Janeiro.

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.


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.
