Ghostly Thrills Explore Hauntingly Beautiful Abandoned Amusement Parks

11. Fantasy World – The Philippines’ Abandoned Disney Knockoff

Tucked away in Batangas, Philippines, Fantasy World was meant to be the country's answer to Disneyland. Construction began in the early 2000s with grand plans for castles, roller coasters, and fairy tale attractions, but due to financial troubles, the park was never completed. Despite its failure, the fairy tale-style castle, colorful medieval towers, and winding walkways remain intact, making it an oddly beautiful and eerie attraction. Today, visitors can explore the abandoned grounds, climb the towers, and take in the surreal mix of grandeur and decay. Though never operational, Fantasy World has become a popular spot for photography, ghost stories, and a peek into what could have been—a castle left waiting for its happily-ever-after.
