Abandoned Theme Parks

1. Out of the given amusement park options I would most likely want to visit the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans. I would want to go to this location the most because of how the amusement park has buildings that have been made to look just like the city scene of New Orleans. I like that it offers this because it makes the park seem much more like an abandoned city than just an amusement park. I also like that it's a park located in the U.S. so i feel like getting in trouble for trespassing wouldn't be as much as a big deal as in another country like South Korea. The rusting and water damage that happened to the park gives it a creepy vibe, but because no one actually died there I feel like I would feel a lot more comfortable exploring it.

3. Unusual places photographers may like to go:
Railroad tracks
Abandoned schools
Caves
Old & abandoned historical building
Places located in the middle of nowhere (abandoned cities, random caves & cliffs, etc.)

4. Abandoned School: 


5. I think that an abandoned school would probably be one of the best places to go and capture photos at. To start it isn't a super dangerous place to go to & if you were to be caught in side of one you probably wouldn't have that harsh of a punishment. I also find it to be a really interesting location because everyone grows up going to school, so it'd be really unusual to see one super dark and  destroyed. Schools also tend to be pretty big so there would be lots of area to explore. There's also so many different messages that you could send out through any photo of an abandoned school. For example you could take a simple photo of inside a classroom and go on to talk about how the photo represents all the hardships and destruction that school work can cause to an average person's mental health.

6. I don't think that there are a lot of abandoned schools just lying around town, so in order to go to one I might have to do lots of research and a bit of traveling. I would also have to do research on the kind of laws and restrictions can be put on abandoned schools. I already know that trespassing might be an issue but as I said before I don't think the punishment would be super strict especially if your someone my age. The biggest issue that I find with going to this location would be safety hazards within the build. If there's tons of water damage or any of the walls/ceilings are falling or caving in it would not be a smart idea to go exploring in that location.
