ANAMUSEMENT

ANAMUSEMENT was a large theme park owned by Biggudīpufan (ビッグディープファン) Corporation, an entertainment chain that originates from Japan. Once a glorious theme park for those within America to enjoy, ANAMUSEMENT stands as a shell of its former glory in the frozen wasteland that America has become.

Purpose / Function

Before World War III, ANAMUSEMENT was a great theme park for people young and old to go to. Located right at Lake Michigan, it served as a popular spot for people to try and forget about the state the world was in and the hostilities between countries going up. Along with having dozens of rides such as rollercoasters, lazy-rivers, train rides, a merry-go-round and a go-kart track; there were plenty of restaurants for people to dine in and hotels for people to stay in for as long as they wanted. Notable attractions included several movie theaters showing all the hit movies airing at the time, several gift-shops for buying souvenirs and toys and trinkets, and entertainment centers showing the several most popular cartoons airing at the time. Of course, an theme park of this magnitude wouldn't have been complete without a water park set on the shore of Lake Michigan, doubling up as a lovely beach for everyone to swim at.

Architecture

All the rides in this park were a mix of wooden rollercoasters; a handful of modern metal and steel coasters, and the like. Any building found throughout the park were built using bricks and plaster, some of which were given a cutesy aesthetic that served as a mixture of traditional cartoon styles at the time and the then-blossoming anime style that was slowly gaining popularity at the time. Nowadays, however, the color has been overcome with rust and decay, with a lot of the paint used for the structures that existed having chipped off from the heavy amounts of cold in the air. The rollercoasters have all collapsed in the years since World War III, leaving behind mangled messes of rubble and rebar in its wake.

History

Biggudīpufan originally solely constructed theme parks in the continent of Asia, which were famous world-wide even in the time of the cold-war for the amount of fun and celebration that was had at their parks, with the most notable ones being found in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea. It was in 1955 when the CEO of Biggudīpufan; meeting with the CEO of its parent company Deepcore ASIA, decided that it would be a wonderful idea to build one of their popular theme parks in America. It didn't take long for construction to begin; with no trouble being had aside from the usual workspace accidents that occurred due to the Deepcore Foundation's usual lack of safety protocol. Luckily for Biggudīpufan, their association with Deepcore was relatively unknown, which worked wonders for establishing the park in the first place.
The theme park opened on October 1st, 1961 to glorious excitement and applause, with people from all around America coming to the park to enjoy themselves in various types of merriment. The amount of money Biggudīpufan made from those who went to the theme park were enough to cover the costs of constructing the theme park. Alas, come World War III, the theme park ended up being destroyed from the nuclear fallout and eternal winter that unfolded. Nowadays, the only people whom ever decide to come to the ruins of this theme park are the members of the Traveller's Circus for when they are in need of supplies, scavenging the remains in what is considered to be a rather dangerous and radioactive area within the Radiated Grounds.
