Pripyat City Amusement Park was set to open up on May 1, 1986, to a population of 49,360 but something sinister interfered. It was the Chernobyl disaster that occurred on April 26 of that year just a few days before. The park did open up briefly to let the people in the city enjoy the rides for just a couple of hours on April 27 before they handed down the evacuation order. This huge ferris wheel stands like an ominous monument as a constant reminder of the incident that took place that year.
