Mirapolis: France's Abandoned Fairytale Theme Park
posted November 27, 2024 #
I rarely share videos that are in excess of 5 minutes much less in excess of 20 minutes but this historical tour of France's Abandoned Fairytale Theme Park is worth a watch. Having seen it, I can confirm that the "Creepy" adjective in the title is just click bait - it's not creepy, it's just the 1980s! That said, the theme park was highly themed and very impressively so. I love all the animatronics and generally vibe of the place. It's nuts to see these enormous installations for a park that only lasted four years!
Watching through it, I can't help but be reminded of Opryland USA, a theme park in Nashville that operated for twenty-five years and was highly themed as well ("American Music"). Opryland lasted a lot longer than Mirapolis but there are still plenty of parallels.
Long story short, carve out some time to watch that vid. It's an excellent gateway to plenty more weirdness and incredible photos.
