Dadipark Abandoned Amusement Park Dadizele,...




Entrance to the Nautic Jet Attraction, where the boy lost his arm.






Nautic Jet Ride



Dadipark Abandoned Amusement Park
Dadizele, Belgium
1950-2002 

Originally, Dadipark was built as a simple playground for children by a local pastor and eventually evolved into an independent theme park in 1980.  The theme park was very successful for quite some time, entertaining a million guests during its peak year.  

Unfortunately, things started to take a turn for the worse as the increasingly rundown rides became more dangerous.  In 2000, a young boy lost his arm on the Nautic Jet ride (Entrance of ride pictured top right). Sadly in 2002, the park closed down for “renovations and the park was abandoned, never to reopen.
