Abandoned Areas

[WondersOfLife]

I'm always fascinated by abandoned areas of Disney... I know it's honestly pretty sad, but it's neat! Especially for me! To see images of things from the past in their current state. Makes me wonder what it was like! Does anyone have a particular fascination for current abandoned or places that WERE abandoned at WDW?? A few of my favorites.. but.. in a sad way.

Body Wars/Cranium Command at Epcot

River Country

Food Rocks (I believe I read somewhere that it has been cleaned up and removed and is now just an empty storage room?)

I do and always have had a fascination with deserted places. I look on you-tube quite often that have a lot of footage of abandoned buildings and the like. The problem with Disney is that they do a pretty good job of hiding those areas from our view, understandably. Places I have been that I recall when they were operational have one fascination where I can see the places that were once very much alive with activity. That is fairly melancholy to me. Old buildings that are empty set my imagination of fire. I can picture people that lived, worked or played in those areas, and it gives me a different feel, I feel more curious then sad. Still like to see them either in person or on film though.

I absolutely love abandoned places that are in everyday life, and finding photos and videos of Disney abandoned places. I used to have no issue venturing into places like this, but, with the digital age, it's almost more impressive to look at those than risk going to jail again for trespassing!

I would love to poke around in these abandoned areas. I always want to go to river country as a kid but we never did. I am afraid I would be caught and banned from WDW so that keeps me from snooping around.

There's a whole JP attraction abandoned at Uni. The Woo posted that on YouTube as well.

It's a triceratops exhibit with lots of animatronics going to rot.

The Woo is awesome.

From what I understand, he has been banned from Disney, hasn't he?

There were three animatronics, and I think they have since been removed.

Also there's this at Universal:

Yes, he was banned from WDW but not other Disney parks

Always fascinated by anything abandoned. All abandoned things Disney are especially interesting, my hangup was always Pop Century Legendary Years.

Discovery Island

Yup, I love the stuff. But not worth being trespassed to see any of it.

From Disney World, yes. Here's his video explaining how and why it happened.
