Pripyat amusement park, Abandoned amusement park in Pripyat, Ukraine
The park contains multiple Soviet-era attractions including a ferris wheel, bumper cars, a paratrooper ride, swing boats, and a carnival shooting section.
The park never officially opened as planned on May 1, 1986, due to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that occurred on April 26, forcing the evacuation.
The park's ferris wheel has emerged as a recognized representation of the Chernobyl catastrophe and its effects on the surrounding communities.
Visitors can access the park through authorized guided tours, which include radiation monitoring and strict safety protocols to ensure protection.
Polish tourists managed to manually rotate the ferris wheel in September 2017, marking the first mechanical movement of the structure since 1986.
