Dutch ghost theme park "Land van Ooit"...

Today I visited the abandoned theme park “Land van Ooit” (“Land of Ever”), now a Dutch ghost park. It was a fairy-tale kingdom with an authentic 13th-century castle, which was the entrance of the park. As soon as you walked into the park, you found yourself in a true fairy-tale world, full of wonderful characters with knights, ladies, footmen and aforementioned friendly giants. It specifically aimed at children up to 12 years old.
The park closed its doors after a bankruptcy in 2007.
Besides the castle, the attraction ‘The Battle of Waterloo’ is the biggest eye-catcher in today’s ghost park. The story goes that when Napoleon and his army travelled through the Land of Ooit, they turned into statues. The statues originally stood in a fountain in which you saw the soldiers slowly disappear into the water… @ Nieuwkuijk, the Netherlands
