Abandoned amusement parks embody a primal kind of fear. They’re relics of glittering carnivals where ecstasy once reigned supreme, where thousands threw their hands up as they rode roller coasters toward the sun.

From decaying miniature Israeli villages to parks that cannot be found on any maps, here are eight abandoned theme parks, each sure to work its way into your nightmares.
