Everwinter - Second life - On the anniversary of Chernobyl | Second Life Destinations | Scoop.it

Today April 26 is the 30th anniversary of the tragedy of Chernobyl. This is Everwinter, a post-apocalyptic SIM created by Lauren Bentham. This SIM was inspired by the abandoned amusement park in the City of Pripyat Ukraine situated near the plant. “Everwinter”, Post Apocalyptic Theme Park: http://slurl.com/se

Explanation in Wikipedia: The park was to be opened on May 1, 1986 in time for the May Day celebrations (decorations for this event are still in place in Pripyat today) but the plans were interrupted when on April 26 the Chernobyl disaster occurred a few kilometers away. Today, the park, and in particular the Ferris wheel are a symbol of the Chernobyl disaster.
