Amusement parks can make for highly visible landmarks, especially as both roller coasters and Ferris Wheels have continually gotten larger and taller. In places like Florida they can have dominant footprints. With the difficulty involved in dis-assembling unused amusement parks, they have become giant abandoned places in other spots around the world. With proper safety precautions, amusement parks and drones are made for each other, and they can also make a great backdrop for FPV videos. Here are is a collection of drone videos from some of the best known amusement parks around the world. Aerial photo: "Ferris Wheel: Jesolo, Venezia" by contributor and drone pilot alvisex@gmail.com.

Contributor and pilot Jona Bend shot this amazing drone video of an entire abandoned theme park in the Philippines. The Fantasy World park, intended to be a sort Philippines equivalent of Disney World, was built in a remote area of southern Luzon in 2001. Due to the owner's financial difficulties, the park near Batangas (one of the provinces of southern Luzon) was abandoned and never completed.
