Amusement Park T

The reception near the parking lot

In the 80s, Sweden experienced good economic times. And as a result of this good economic period, a whole range of theme parks, cinemas and shopping centers were built in Sweden. But a short decade later, the good times over, Sweden experienced economic decline, unemployment was higher and many of theme parks, cinemas and shopping centers were closed down and abandoned. Some were later rebuilt, used for other purposes or demolished. But still there are numerous abandoned buildings and parks all over Sweden. In other words, Sweden is an exciting country for urbexere.

The amusement park I visited the south of Sweden, not far from the border to Norway. (A little fun fact: This part of Sweden was part of Norway in the Viking Age.) This amusement park is located a little way into the woods, completely hidden from public roads. It includes water slides, various play equipment, mini-golf and many other things.

A pool table stood alone and frozen one night I stopped by the park.

 

One of the billiard balls was left on the pool table.

 

It was a very large water slide at the park.

Depression spawns creativity

<a

Are creativity and mental illness linked? Or is it just a coincidence that strikingly many artists struggle with depression and other mental disorders?

My old psychologist believes creativity and depression are interrelated. He had seen it on several of his patients, including me. And I completely agree with my old psychologist. I have always believed that creativity and depression are interrelated.

Amusement Park (NO)

There is an old abandoned amusement park in my hometown. The amusement park was a popular place for locals and visitors alike for many years. But in 2009, after 28 years, the owner was forced to close the park due to poor sales.
