Jackson sells off Neverland amusement rides

Michael Jackson has reportedly closed  down his Neverland Ranch funfair for good and sold his amusement rides for $500,000.

The pop superstar, who now calls the Middle East home, chose not to return to his Santa Barbara County, California estate after it was raided by police looking for evidence into his 2004 and 2005 child molestation case.

And, after finding homes for the wild pets Jackson housed on his sprawling estate, he has now sold his playthings to a Japanese collector.

The new owner plans to open a theme park dedicated to Jackson in his native Japan.
