Minsk's Beloved Amusement Park Ride to Be Scrapped

Minsk's Beloved 'Ladya' Ride to Be Scrapped: A City Mourns the Loss of a Landmark Minsk, Belarus – The city of Minsk is saying goodbye to a beloved piece of its history. The legendary 'Ladya' (ship) ride, a fixture in Chelyuskinets Park for decades, is being dismantled and sent to the scrap heap. The video, which has garnered significant attention online, shows the ride in its final days. "It's sad to see it go," commented one Minsk resident, expressing a sentiment shared by many. "It was a part of my childhood." The park's management cited age and safety concerns as the reasons for the removal. The closure of 'Ladya' is not the only disappointment for Minsk's amusement park enthusiasts. The video also highlights the temporary closure of a children's Ferris wheel in Gorky Park and another ride in Chelyuskinets Park, both undergoing repairs. However, plans are underway to install a new attraction similar to 'Ladya', offering a glimmer of hope for the future. The city's parks remain vibrant spaces for families and children.
