American Adventure - Ilkeston - Feb 2009 (pic heavy)
I visited American Adventure in Ilkeston a few days ago, to see what has happened to it since the last posts. (I never went when it was open:wcry Nearly everything is gone now, apart from a few buildings, I have tried to refrain from posting pictures of rubble, and to incorporate more pictures of the surrounding buildings.
Next to the old entrance:
Walking up the new entrance
The "Aztec Corner" still intact and in good condition, soon to be demolished.
3D glasses from the cinema
Awww, Bless them...
The whole damn site was littered with fire extinguishers! None of them worked
Skip full of HI-FIs and TVs
Someone has vandalised a substation, brave idiots.
One of the "interesting" pieces of litter
The Go kart track remains however
End of the line
Game card from fruit machine
Ticket office in old entrance
The old entrance is still in good condition, apart from smashed windows and toilets. This is the banking room in the building.
intact staff toilet
My friend didn't read the sign, and accidentally slammed the door loud enough to wake the dead
Only real trace that this was once a theme park:
Thanks for looking, if you are planning on going, make it soon as these remaining few buildings are still to be demolished.
List of intact buildings:
-Old entrance
-Pier
-Aztec corner
-2 service buildings
-Several "temporary" buildings
-Substations
-Staff buildings around old entrance
Thanks for looking! please comment!
