A US theme park once buzzing with thrill-seekers now stands abandoned and frozen in time.
Photos taken by urban explorer Ben Stevens show various still and empty rides at the Test Track park in Florida, which closed down in 2019.
Ben, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, travelled to the site alone last week and took a look around.
The 30-year-old said: ‘It was very hot so it was like walking around a desert.
‘It was like something from an apocalypse film as the rides all sit unused and all the go carts are just sitting there.’
Ben took photos of abandonedgo karts, a pirate ship, a drop tower, a water ride, a swinging chair ride and a runaway train.
Using a drone camera, the explorer was also able to capture what the park looks like from above in a fascinating shot.
Ben said the rides have started to deteriorate but to him this only added to the beauty of the site.
‘I liked seeing all the rides rotting away, that was probably my favourite part about my visit,’ he explained.
‘It’s weird how it used to be such a fun-filled place and now it’s in silence.
‘It’s been abandoned since 2019 when it ran out of money.’
Ben has travelled all across North America and the world exploring abandoned locations, including sites in the UK.
He said: ‘I love exploring (these places) because it’s like your own personal museum that no one else has really been inside.’
Last month we shared photos of an abandoned theme park in the UK.
The images, shared on Facebook, offer a rare glimpse inside the gates of Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, eight years after it closed down for good.
