Photos: See inside an abandoned Santa theme park

Welcome to Park Albanoel, in Itaguaí, Brazil — an abandoned Christmas theme park. The park was the brainchild of politician Antonio Albano Reis, colloquially known as the "Santa Claus of Quintino" because he dressed as Santa each Christmas. It was going to be a series of fun, themed-lands over an expansive area — more than 30 million square meters — but only the Santa area was completed. Following Reis' sudden death in a road accident in 2004, Park Albanoel closed and fell into disrepair. (CNN)
