Very cool - and the visuals are amazing.

civilizations-gone-by are always intriguing. I wonder if 500 years from now some archeologists will dig this stuff up and make all sorts of wild claims about the lives of people in the 20th centure.

The clown rotary ride looks like the same model-type installed at Six Flags over Georgia (Atlanta, USA) in the early 1970s. The ride bounces youngsters as it travels around the flat-concrete track. You can see a photo of a version of this ride in operation here:

Unfortunately, the Happy Worm, as it was known at many parks including SFOG, gave its last ride at the end of the 2003 season and hasn't been seen since.

Like tony said, that clown train is from the US. Pripyat, ukraine has 4 different rides there obviously abandoned. A ferris wheel, Bumper cars, a small swing type ride and a revolving chair ride. I have some photos on my website = www.firesuite.com

Is the Clown Train really in Prypiat? The theme park there is in the middle of the city, while the picture above doesn't seem to be taken somewhere near any traces civilisation.

Yes, that clown train is from the amusement park in Pripyat (Ukraine). Pripyat was a small city next to Chernobyl but was completely abandoned due to radiation and is now a policed 'restricted zone'. Its cordoned off with limited visiting rights. Its a freaky place - search for pics of it online and you will see.
