Unbelievably Pricey Abandoned Structures

18. Yongma Area

Location: South Korea Year: 1980 Price: Not given Yongma Land, an amusement park in Seoul, closed not due to any sinister reasons, but simply because it could no longer sustain its operations. When it first opened, the park was immensely popular among the local community, offering a variety of attractions and entertainment. However, the park's decline began with the establishment of Lotte World in 1989, a major competitor that drew visitors away. As revenue dwindled over the years, Yongma Land struggled to maintain its offerings, ultimately leading to its permanent closure in 2011.
  Yongma Land, although closed, remains accessible to visitors for a modest fee. Guests can wander through the park and explore its abandoned attractions, offering a unique glimpse into its vibrant past. The site has become a popular destination for photographers, drawn by the vividly colored rides and decaying structures that create striking visual contrasts. Additionally, Yongma Land has gained further recognition through its appearances in multiple Korean music videos, showcasing its eerie yet captivating atmosphere.
