* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcja8UBtXdk The Six Flags park in New Orleans] after Hurricane Katrina. It was scheduled to be torn down on January 2011, but those plans have since fallen through, so it still stands today, empty and creepy as fuck.
* The "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCyWF-MncrE lost theme park]" Splendid China, in Kissimmee, Florida, which went out of business in 2003, is now an "attraction" for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh1b8Eso2Vk local skateboarders who brave potential arrests for trespassing] in order to skate in the abandoned park.
* [[wikipedia:Dead mall|Dead malls]] are a subversion of this. A dead mall is a mall in which huge majority of the store spaces are unoccupied and there are very few patrons (if any), but the mall is technically open for business. One of the most extreme versions of this is the [[wikipedia:New South China Mall|New South China Mall]]
** there was one very infamous abandoned mall, the Dixie Square Mall in Harvey, Illinois. after only a decade and a half in business, the mall closed and a year later it was used for the Mall chase scene in "The Blues Brothers", and then it was left to rot for 33 years before finally being demolished in 2012.
* The Ambassador Hotel In Los Angeles (notorious for being the location of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination), despite enjoying a very active afterlife as a movie set for various films and TV shows, still steadily decayed for two decades to the point where spores grew through the floor and carpets. Ironically, its final role was a younger version of itself in the Day-in-the-life movie [[Bobby]], even as it was being demolished.
