REFERENCE Needed : Amusement Park/ Carnival etc

[himadri_sm]

Anyone know where i can find good & preferably big images of old amusement parks/ funfairs etc or like the carnival in the game "BULLY"....any idea where i can find good references for something like that?Google did not help a lot as most of the images were very small. Please suggest where i can find better references.you can also post references for currently running amusement parks or carnivals. Or any concept art/ environment illustration etc. would be fine too....i want to create an environment that is both colorful & kind of creepy at the same time. thank you.

Hi matey

Do a google image search on coney island amusement park, it brings up all sorts of images some old some not so.

Palisades Amusement Park - same with this one too add "heyday" to filter out some of the newer stuff

hope this helps

Coney Island parks are indeed your best bet. Lunapark, Dreamworld and Steeplechase park. There's lots of images and info about them all over the net.

Here are some classic-style amusement parks still in operation for you to look up...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach
Kennywood
Knoebels
Waldameer
Myrtle Beach Pavillion

Also try looking up german traveling funfairs. They are huge.

Try searching google with the advance search set to large, or look on flickr.
