Trinity Loop Amusement Park I, NL
This ferris wheel at the Trinity Train Loop Amusement Park in Newfoundland, Canada, has long since toppled. The park, which was abandoned in 2004, has become overgrown, and is still a favourite destination for hikers on the Bonavista Peninsula.
The Trinity Loop
Amusement Park
Cabins, rides, and rails,
now abandoned, still attract.
Nostalgia, memories that haunt
for a good reason.
Hot dogs, buttery popcorn,
pink cotton candy,
and sticky ice cream,
filling the young and the old.
Youngsters screaming with joy,
riding the ferris wheel.
Creaking metal high above,
wind whipping cheeks, red,
until they vomit.
A paradise, like no other.
Where families, amid carnival tunes,
and salty air — GIVE’R!
