Of all the things that become abandoned, fairgrounds might be the saddest. They were once full of families laughing together, but they become hulking, rusting piles of junk once the gates are closed.
This Ferris Wheel might be the saddest example of all. It's the only thing left from Kenjonuma Leisure Land in Japan, which shut down in 2000 after thirty years in business. All the other rides were sold for the scrap, but the big wheel still stands alone.
