Abandoned Places

I haven't seen this posted here yet, but it is certainly of interest. When I visited Disney World for the first time this summer, I had no idea that, somewhere nearby in the midst of all the bright shininess, was an abandoned park.

From the site: "River Country was Walt Disney World’s first waterpark. It opened in 1976, and closed for the final time in 2001. Since 2001, the area has sat virtually undisturbed. The slides and pools remain in place."

When I first learnt about this island a few years back, I was determined to check out the place since then. Although it was a guided tour with access restricted to only a small part of the island (hence the limited views), the fact that I could set foot on it was good enough for me. :)
