Urban explorers roaming the inside of an abandoned fairground have revealed eerie pictures of the attraction which has been a ghost town for five years.<\/p>\n

Pleasure Island in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire, opened in May 1993 and was a draw for local families and tourists until it closed at the end of the 2016 season.<\/p>\n

It is now a shadow of its former self, as these eerie photos from the Abandoned UK Facebook page show boarded-up structures that used to house dodgems and other rides have started to fall apart.<\/p>\n

There are many hidden dangers but that has not deterred explorers from creeping onto the site. It has become the second-highest visited destination by them, and they trespass on the expansive site risking their lives, according to Grimsby Live.<\/p>\n

The sign for the Dodgems hangs high next to Kiddies' Cove. Nearby you can almost still hear the screams from the Razzle Dazzle, Ala Kazam, The Obliterator and The Pendulus.<\/p>\n

Ali Baba's Arcade still stands but is empty.<\/p>\n

Some reports claim that the last of the items were sold off in October 2018, as the carousel sold for a six-figure sum over two years ago just before going up for auction.<\/p>\n
