The Collegeville Pitstop located in Collegeville Pennsylvania was once the home of family fun entertainment. Featuring a go-kart track, miniature golf, food, ice cream, and a ton of bizarre oddities scattered around the property. Sadly by the 20-Teens, the park was permanently closed and sat abandoned for years with it’s bizarre collection of oddities still sitting on property. Today however the the only remains of the former tourist attraction is a Twistee Treat stand in the parking lot. The land is now used for storage, and the main building now houses a thrift store and Indian food restaurant. www.YouTube.com/WhatsWithDaveToday #DailyVlog #DailyVlogs #Traveling #Travel #Traveler #Adventure #Adventures #Exploring #Explorer #RoadTrip #RoadTrippin #RoadTripping #RoadTripper #History #RoadsideAmerica #RoadsideAttraction #RoadsideAttractions #RoadsideOddity #RoadsideOddities #Pennsylvania #WeirdPennsylvania #CollegevillePitstop #Collegeville #CollegevillePA #AbandonedAmusementPark #TwisteeTreat #TwisteeTreatIceCream https://www.instagram.com/p/ChVHxBLuPVr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SOCIAL DISTANCING DAY 492. A very Ghibli hike down to an abandoned 1920s amusement park (no rides, just like “here was the dancehall, here were cottages, this is where the steamboat disembarked passengers “), which they’re allowing to “go back to nature.” Very steep. Might have spotted some #Pokémon (note #Bellossom -ish flower, possible #Squirtle). Did not see Princess Mononoke. #ghibli #studioghibli #abandonedamusementpark #zoinks #terrapin #boxturtlesofinstagram #charlestownstatepark #spicebushswallowtail #zebraswallowtail #swallowtails #goingbacktonature #quarantinelife (at Rose Island Abandoned Amusement Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPzERpryKy/?utm_medium=tumblr

⚠️ WARNING: My 2 next recommendations are going to be a bit sketchy 😂

🎡🎠 I can’t always show you the luxury hotels if you really want to see the different layers of a country. In different forums I found that there was an abandoned amusement park in the middle of Yangon City, in Myanmar. & it obviously sparked my interest right away. If you are on the more adventurous side, there are locals on the side of the road that you will have to ask nicely/pay to show you the way. Online they say there are stray dogs and snakes but I didn’t see any (I went in October, which is already pretty hot). It’s South of the Zoological Garden.🌿

I’m not sure about how safe this is, so it’s at your own risk if you want to try, I personally had a fun time. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Would you go?

Review: Hide by Kiersten White

I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. Many thanks to Random House UK and to NetGalley for the opportunity.

Sinister is the correct word to describe Hide. This book is sinister from the off. Though there is no immediate link between the opening story of a child going missing at an amusement park in 1973, and Mack, an adult living, or rather hiding out in a modern day homeless shelter. However, when we learn that Mack is being coerced into taking part in a competition in which she must hide in an abandoned amusement park, we begin to see the barest outline of a link. Mack has no doubt she will win. She has been hiding most of her life. As a child she hid while her father butchered her family and she continues to carry the motherlode of survivor’s guilt and fear, driven into dark corners everywhere she goes.

There are fourteen people in the competition, some we never really get to know. White strikes the perfect balance of brief mentions, snappy descriptions painted in a wry and humorous tones, and more in depth characterisations. Among them, there are Sydney with the Youtube prank show and Rebecca the aspiring actress. There are two girls called Ava, one of whom an Instagrammer, obsessing about whether she will be known as Ava One or Ava Two when this competition is released as a reality show, the other a veteran who takes everything as it comes. There are arrogant characters and there are likeable characters. I can see these people in my head and if I struggled I could turn on the TV at any time and see people just like them. Then there’s Mack, standing out more than anyone because she doesn’t want to be noticed. Desperate for company but too afraid to allow it.

The rules are set, hide in the amusement park by day, eat, sleep and recharge by night. Two people are knocked out of the competition every 24 hours. For Mack, though, something doesn’t add up. There is no drum roll or fanfair heralding the departure of the failed competitors, but there is a creature snuffling and stalking its way round the park, and then there is blood. The build up is so good that the monster reveal is almost an anticlimax but it turns out that human monsters can be the most disturbing.

This book has a horror movie structure: slow build of sinister, suspenseful questions, a violent, explosive climax and an ending that doesn’t quite resolve everything.

The most compelling words in this book, though, come after the ending, where White describes her inspiration for the story. Here is an author with some quality rage building. If you want you could read this book looking for allegorical parallels to modern society. Or you could just enjoy the ride.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
