10. Gulliver’s Kingdom, Japan
The Japanese are really something when it comes to business ideas. In 1997, they wanted to open an amusement park based on the famous novel by Jonathan Swift “Gulliver’s Travels”, because who doesn’t want to pretend they are in an 18th century English novel?? Apparently not enough people because the park closed down just 4 years later. I mean it’s not really that trendy when you have Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park.
9. Spreepark, Berlin
This place was first opened in 1969 under the name of Kulturpark Plänterwald, in what was then East Berlin. After the fall of the Berlin wall, in 1989, the park was renamed to Spreepark, because it was built right next to the Spree river. It was quite an attraction because, for years, it was the only amusement park in East Germany.
8. L’Aquatic Paradis, Spain
This water park was built in Sitges near the city of Barcelona but, unfortunately, it didn’t stay open for long. From the very start, L’Aquatic Paradis was faced with a myriad of problems. It had tons of slides and pools and people were excited about it, but two years after opening there was a tragic accident and then massive debt issues….sound familiar?
7. Akvadroma Water Park, Russia
This complex, also known as the Indoor Complex near Moscow was approved for construction in 1997 – the idea was to have a huge center for the upcoming World Youth Games. It was an enormous undertaking, as it took over an area of 43,000 square meters (468,000 sq. feet), with 9 floors complete with swimming pools, water slides, track and field course, offices, and medical center.
6. Lake Dolores, USA
This waterpark was the first ever in the United States. It used to be a popular desert attraction but now it is abandoned in the middle of the Mojave Desert, California. It was known as Lake Dolores or Rock-A-Hoola Waterpark, back in the day. The name Dolores actually comes from the name of the person who built it.
5. Dunaújváros Vidámpark, Hungary
This Hungarian park was very popular back in the day – the beginnings of this park go back to the 19th century! While it was severely damaged during WWII, in the 60s and 70s, the place was booming because so many people wanted to go! It was fixed up to look like an “English Park” in 1952, but it became even more popular after the Hungarian revolution 4 years later.
4. Holy Land, USA
This attraction located in Waterbury, Connecticut was full of religious exhibits and bible studies for the whole family! It was big for around 30 years and attracted about 40,000 people a year to be exact.
3. Joyland, Wichita, USA
This amusement park was started by the Ottaway family during the economic boom in Wichita. Lester Ottaway bought a steam locomotive in 1933, and wanted to build something around it, so ergo we have Joyland!!
People used to come mostly in the evenings to cool off and enjoy every one’s company, especially since there was no TV!
2. Takakanonuma Greenland, Japan
Don’t let the name confuse you- this place is not in Greenland, but Japan! This amusement park was opened back in 1973, but it was closed only two years later. I’m not exactly sure what happened, but official sources said that there just weren’t enough ticket sales. Which means that the Japanese didn’t do a proper market analysis, which doesn’t sound like them at all!!
1. Pripyat Amusement Park, Ukraine
This amusement park really didn’t have any luck. It was opened in in the town of Pripyat, north of Kiev, but it didn’t last long. In fact, it lasted for less than one day! Yes, strange as it may sound, this amusement park was closed less than 24 hours after being opened to the public.

Lorry container crossed Channel twice before 39 Chinese people died
A 'metal coffin' lorry container carrying Chinese migrants had crossed the Channel twice in the week before it arrived in Britain with 39 frozen bodies inside, it was revealed today.GPS tracking on the -25C sound-proofed container shows that it stopped in the refugee hotspots of Dunkirk and Calais in France in three trips to Belgium before heading to Zeebrugge for the fateful trip to Purfleet on Tuesday night.The new data will increase suspicions that the unit, rented for £250-a-week, may have been repeatedly used by people smugglers before the 31 men and eight women were found dead in Thurrock, Essex on Wednesday morning. The 39 Chinese migrants who were found dead in the back of a lorry and could have been locked in the freezing trailer for days. It is believed that the migrants were frozen, or had died of suffocation while being trapped in the metal container, but post-mortem examinations being held in Chelmsford will confirm this over the weekend.It is believed the victims came from Fujian, a poor coastal province of south-east China controlled by traffickers known as snakeheads, who charge £20,000 to smuggle people to the UK via Serbia, Hungary, Austria, France before a boat to Britain from Belgium or Holland.The 54 men and four women found dead in the back of a tomato lorry which arrived in Dover on June 18, 2000 and the 23 who drowned in the 2004 Morecambe Bay cockling disaster originated were all trafficked from the same area of Fujian. A convoy of private ambulances was needed in order to collect the 39 dead migrants which were discovered in the container People gathered in London last night (above) and in Belfast to pay their respects for those who lost their lives in the container Police have been given an extra 24 hours to to question Mo Robinson (left and right) after he was arrested on suspicion of murder The map above shows the perilous 5,000 mile journey the 39 migrants would have taken to get to the UK Police officers are briefed as they shelter from the rain as they seal off the the scene where bodies were discovered in a lorry container, in Grays, Essex Police carry out finger-searches of the area in Grays, Essex, where the lorry containing 39 dead Chinese immigrants - 31 men and eight women - was found on Tuesday more videos 1 2 3 Watch video Cop lets motorist go after he says he's with Ell Chapo's son Watch video Toddler bemused as Beirut protestors treat him to 'Baby Shark' Watch video Indigenous Australian actress has a confrontation in supermarket Watch video Democrat Maxine Waters lights into Mark Zuckerberg Watch video Pompeo compares China's Xinjiang region to Orwell's '1984' Watch video Judge on the devastating effects of cuts to legal aid Watch video Essex lorry is brought to Tilbury Docks under police escort Watch video Impatient dog smashes through porch screen to join his pooch pals Watch video Passengers pray and chug whiskey after plane engine fails Watch video G

The laws that sex workers really want | Juno Mac
Everyone has an opinion about how to legislate sex work (whether to legalize it, ban it or even tax it) ... but what do workers themselves think would work best? Activist Juno Mac explains four legal models that are being used around the world and shows us the model that she believes will work best to keep sex workers safe and offer greater self-determination. If you care about gender equality or poverty or migration or public health, then sex worker rights matter to you, she says. Make space for us in your movements. (Adult themes)
