Alright, Motts! A gallery from the deep South as promised! : ) I'm glad you had fun there. It's too bad that most people won't ever be able to have fun there again. : (
At first I just thought this was a large room with a cathedral ceiling that's about to fall! : )

Yeah there's a steam line that feeds the buildings from the power plant; I recall it being a bit of a crawl and full of nasty, friable asbestos, so it wasn't really worth taking as other entrances were usually available.
I am in awe of these photographs -- and of the almost superstitious quality that haunts them. I am a painter and would love to get in touch with the artist who took these. If willing, please email me at Richard.eyster@gmail.com. Thank you very much.

Given the price of carousel horses/animals they've probably been salvaged and repainted for use somewhere else.

This is the awareness ribbon for abandoned theme parks.

And as far as the coaster itself, HECK YES! I'd ride that, backwards, forward, suspended...it looks and sounds awesome.

I see a lot of salvageable parts, going to waste. Even if they took the parts, sold it off at scrap value its some income for NO and its not just rotting into the swamp.

Its surprising the city hasn't sold off the remaining stuff. Given the place is considered a total loss, some income would help the city, and things like Jocco, would help small-time haunted house attractions with good quality second hand props.
Mott's...did you happen to notice underground tunnels at this location by chance?

It's a bit too thick for electrical conduit, and the lamps are still on the ceiling, which makes me think it's a sprinkler system for fire safety. Those safety codes came along after these buildings were constructed, so they are often obvious instead of being integrated with the building.
