A 175-year-old theme park in Budapest, Hungary has been forced to close down due to the country’s economic problems.
Vidampark closed on 30 September, with only the attractions that are considered to be of national heritage being saved from the scrap heap.
The park’s roller coaster – the longest wooden roller coaster still operating in Europe – is one of the rides that will be saved.
In recent years, the park has fallen into disrepair, with the number of visitors dropping from a peak of 2.7 million in the 70’s to around 250,000 people annually.
