At Neverland Ranch, You Must Be At Least This Short To Ride

A truly stunning nighttime photo suite of Neverland Ranch, the precursor to such other children-and-one-adult-male-populated ghost towns as Kid Nation’s Bonanza City, has surfaced on Flickr. Beneath a starry Santa Barbara sky, such featured attractions as the Sea Dragon, the carousel, and the Huckleberry Finn Boys-Only Dunk Tank And Swedish Sauna Dry-Off Room lie in a state of suspended animation–merely waiting to snap back to life the moment its self-exiled proprietor successfully refinances one of his own children, freeing up the funds to tidy up the Bubble-bones and return the amusement estate to its former glory.

Pictured above, visitors are politely reminded that any head-on collisions with anything resembling a toddler in footsie pyjamas hanging off a crescent moon (a recurring Neverland motif, who’ll later ripen into the young fisherman in the DreamWorks logo) will simply not be tolerated.

Bonus Abandoned Neverland Link: The estate is a lot less spooky, and a lot more rinky-dink run-down and depressing, in these daytime aerial shots.
