Obscure Parks

Kind of inspired by John's trip report from Gold Reef City.

What is the most obscure park you've ever visited? Are there any really obscure parks you've heard about that you'd like to visit?

If I ever find myself in Vietnam, I'd like to visit Suối Tiên Amusement Park. It's a Buddhist-themed waterpark on the outskirts of the capital. Very bizarre but pretty impressive, undoubtedly seriously creepy at night.

It's definitely still open and the Wiki page suggests that it'll be served by the Ho Chi Minh City Metro from 2017.
 
Strange recollection with an elderly punter.
Anyone out there remember Corrigans Amusements in Fleetwood?
A kiddie fair, with the odd adult flat put in for the summer season.
Had the first small Big Wheel I ever saw, and they had to push it round to get it going as the motor was clapped out.
About double the size of Kiddie Corner in Cleveleys, had about a dozen rides and an ancient arcade, that still ran on old pennies after decimalisation.
Must have vanished around the late eighties.
Nearly as exciting as the Knott End ferry just up the road.
