Just kidding. It's called River Country. Disney opened a water park called River Country in 1976. It closed in 2001 and then permanently closed in 2005. It had rides, a lake, a kiddie pool, and it was on Bay Lake near the Contemporary Resort and Fort Wilderness. It was meant to resemble an old-fashioned swimming hole. Here's the weird thing though:
It's closed, but nothing has been done with it. It rots and wears away there. People can still get in. It's as simple as hopping the fence. The water bubblers still work. The bathrooms still function. The signs are still up. Towels lay tossed on the ground. Tubes sit on what used to be a water slide. THE MUSIC STILL PLAYS. This is quite creepy and I don't even know how it came to be this way and if Disney will ever do something with it. It's eerie. It's creepy. It's...cool.
Very strange! I am surprised they haven't done SOMETHING with the land!
