In a desperate and unashamed Halloween connection, we've compiled, or scraped, the ultimate top 3 GRP death beds. Sites where fibreglass was once made for luxury or fun, but is now decayed and creepy (and you'll see, there is a very fine line between fun and fear). Abandoned, rotting reinforced plastics for your delight and entertainment. Enjoy.

This is, or was, "Nara Dreamland Theme Park", Japan. A showcase of what can happen after just 8 years of abandonment. Brought to our attention in this article in the
Mail Online Travel section.

Thanks go to Michael Turtle who [maybe broke in? I'm not sure] took 150 photos of the now silent fun park, and great quotes from him include:
'Oddly, I would even look behind me sometimes [on the roller-coasters] to make
sure there were no carriages coming.' and, 'It's
not hard to imagine some disaster in the area which forced everyone to leave
suddenly.' We really recommend
viewing the article, which has many fascinating photos and plenty of amusement in the comments too.

Those of us that have seen the classic Stephen King movie
"Christine" may get a chill viewing these American fibreglass sports cars waiting restoration in a secret location somewhere in Florida.
