Silly question.............but are you able to walk around River Country?

[Walt d]

Um, no, it's an abandoned attraction and you'd be trespassing.

In addition to the eastern diamondback rattler, you'd run into water moccasins, mosquitos and these.....

You didn't. Some have reading comprehension issues. Or don't know what a Sea Raycer is.

Haha yeah. Some people are just dumb.

The thing I find most interesting about the area, is the fact that the entrance still gets decorated for Christmas.

Parts are in bay lake, walk around that on the bottom of bay lake, the gators await you’

Uh, I don't think anyone said they were getting out of their boat/Sea Racer, so where are you getting that they are "walking around the bottom of bay lake?" You can drive the boat over towards that area to view parts of River Country (just like you can view other parts of WDW from Bay Lake without getting out of your boat)!

I think that this guy has a hard time understanding what a Sea Raycer is and that no one is planning to trespass on River Country.

Depending on where you surf, you’ve probably been in the water with crocodiles in close range.
People hike, kayak, bike, etc in the Everglades.. most don’t die. Being in the water of Bay Lake or walking around River Country isn’t an automatic death sentence.

I just wouldn’t recommend doing it regardless, not worth the risk of getting banned.

I just don't get why WDW don't just get it sorted, it is like a dirty taboo family secret that they just ignore.

 

[NormC]

It costs money to dismantle it. It is not a problem leaving it until the land is needed for something else.

 

[Mainahman]

i think i read this somewhere before, that the cost of refurbishing something is much lower than actually building when it comes down to it. If they leave it alone, it will be considered a "refurb" and cost them less to develop there if they chose to.

It all depends on current code. River Country was constructed before the ADA. If Disney chose to refurb, they'd have to bring everything up to various codes. Sometimes retrofitting is more expensive than new build.

Eventually nature will do what nature does. Given its current condition, there'd be a lot of heavy equipment just clearing the overgrown vegetation in order to remove the buildings and other stuff.
