LOOK inside an eerie funfair graveyard – where iconic rides have been left to rot for decades.

From iconic Bananas In Pyjamas rides to Barney the Dinosaur games, dozens of theme park staples are left gathering dust at a lot in South Wales.

Daniel Sims visited the eerie site and found old rides with seats still intact, which he said reminded him of those from the 90s and early 2000s.

It is unclear how all the rides ended up gathering rust in the overgrown field, but they are rumoured to have come from nearby amusement parks.

The abandoned lot featured an American dodgem and a rusting truck with “Fun Fair” written across the front.

Daniel also discovered arcade games that had been left to rot for decades.

“The atmosphere was amazing,” said 36-year-old Daniel, from Huddersfield, UK, speaking to What’s The Jam.

He added: “As soon as we realised everything was left, we were thrilled and excited to see what was left behind.

“There were easily a good 50-60 kids’ rides, and the remains of probably four major rides.

“One was still really intact, and there were plenty of arcade machines there, too.

As we walked into the area, we were greeted by a gigantic octopus waltzer ride, still complete with its seats. Beside it were various nostalgic children’s rides that undoubtedly hold cherished memories for many, particularly those who were children during the 90s and early 2000s.

“We saw Barney on a train, a Winnie the Pooh kids ride, and various other ones as soon as we entered.

Off to the site’s side lay a collection of rides, including what appeared to be ghost trains, along with several claw and penny machines, all potentially quite valuable.

Daniel, who published the video on YouTube under the name Bearded Reality, also discovered a partially collapsed ride towards the site’s rear, amidst a clutter of arcade machines.

The YouTuber said: “In the middle of the site were even more machines and rides, Garfield, Banana in Pyjamas, Mickey and Minnie rides, and what seemed like the remains of an old small Ferris wheel, which was cool to see.

“The back of the site had a massive caravan that maybe the old owner used to sleep in.

“We saw American dodgems and truck rides.

“We also found a strange ride or accessory, which was patented like a very interesting wheel.”

Daniel isn’t sure how long the site has been abandoned, but said it appears to have been some time, with heavy rust and visible damage to the rides.

He said of the adventure: “I love taking photos of dramatic places such as this, and showing how these places were once filled with people enjoying their everyday lives.

“The place is a bit creepy with it just being left, but the actual exploration itself was very relaxing and chilled, and we spent a few hours exploring.”

It comes after disgruntled residents living next to an abandoned theme park slammed plans to bring it back to life.

And an abandoned new-build estate has been dubbed a “horrendous chalk scar” full of half-finished houses.
