1. Tell me which amusement park featured in the two articles that you would like to visit and take your camera along and what about that park made you want to go there. Write at least a paragraph.
The amusement park that I want to go to is in the first article and it is the Takakanonuma Greenland in Hobara, Japan. A lot of the attractions are old and it seems a spooky place to go. It's a good place to show the world what is it like to be an abandoned amusement park. There is so much haunted stuff that will be great for photos!

2. Post one photo from that park. You may use the photos from the link, or you can google an entirely new photo. I would prefer to see a photo of the park in disrepair and not a photo of it when it was still operating.


3. Think of at least FIVE other unusual places you think would be of interest to photographers. List them.
SIX FLAGS, NEW ORLEANS, USA
LAND OF OZ, BEECH MOUNTAIN, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
GULLIVER’S KINGDOM, JAPAN
PRYPIAT AMUSEMENT PARK, PYRPIAT, UKRAINE
SPREEPARK, BERLIN, GERMANY

4. Use Google or another search engine to research ONE of your five places and see if anyone has already started documenting that place. If you find that someone has already started - post at least one photo of their work.
Japan

5. Write a paragraph about why you think that it would be fun to document that location. Tell me what interests you about that place and what kind of photos you could expect to take there.
Some of the reasons why I want to document this place because there is some cool stuff, and it will be fun to stay there for the night. The statue looks so cool and I want to take pictures of it. Also, it looks cool with all the stuff that is left behind, I can bring a suvineior at least.
6. Tell me what it would take for you to go and take photos at your location. What would you need as far as equipment goes, travel plans, expenses you might encounter and what laws you would have to take into consideration to take photos at your spot?
It will take a lot of patience because there is a volcano behind the amusement park and there will be a huge law for trespassing the property. I have to take a lot of things for the camera and maybe some drones.
