 |  | Abandoned Reactor - film setting for: "The Abyss"
< on 10/3/2005 5:38 PM >
|  | | | If you're a fan of the film then you'll love this! Apologies if you already have this on your boards..
I only found out recently that the film "abyss" was shot inside a dis-used reactor bed filled with water to create a massive underwater film set!
Anyway, I was looking it up on Google trying to find picture of it, and I found this link. Some guys who live near the reactor went and explored it, parts of the film set are still inside, including film cases and stuff everywhere!

If anyone has any more photos of this I would love to see them!
cheers, slacker

|  | | | That's production companies for you, leaving their crap behind when they leave. Did you/could you get inside the set built inside the reactor?

| | | | So what if the production company left all that stuff, how many people can say they inf'ed the "Abyss" set? Anyone live close by? Get better pictures be had?

| | | | From a UE perspective this particular circumstance is a good thing. But from a refuse and environmental standpoint it is not. I have seen production companies leave piles and piles of garbage in the woods and on beaches. Is that a good thing?

| | | | Good point, Viper. I did not quite see it that way, I thought just of the UE aspect. Maybe I should look more at other people's view before spouting.

| | | | It is still in good repair. Longboug, Red, and I were the first to get in from the forum I believe.
Red had a broken toe and limped in. I was more worried about her then I was taking pictures, plus tmost I got turned out terrible.
All in all it was great trip although we didnt get all over the massive place.

| | | | I`m sorry to hear about the broken toe.
Mark , those pictures are brilliant thanks for showing them! that door is something else. Are those chains i see in the wall around / above the door?
I would love to visit this place. You are very lucky to have been there! 
I also hope people that visit this location treat it with much respect as it is very unique.
p.s. Sorry about the spelling! My grammar isnt very good either. I shall try my best from now on!

| | | | Dont worry I am the token bad grammar guy.
The doors were probably moved by a machine. Also the weird contraption is the wave maker for flooding the area.
If anyone plans a trip let me know it can be a little difficult to get in.

Sometimes, you need to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who it is you're talking to. Then, on your way out, slam the door. |

See that's another reason to love/hate the LDB. I understand the reasons for using or not using a places real name in the LDB. This is a good example. I would have never know "XXXX Power Plant" was the location for the Abyss. I guess all this keeps the sites somewhat safer but it sure makes it harder to research and learn more about places.

| | | | I think i remember that door from the film. I think it is from a scene where : the main character jams his hand in the closing door to attempt to save his friend from water rushing in due to the rig being broken ?
It must have been so interesting to see the set! James Cameron is a genius!
My friend has a dvd of The Abyss , and on it is a "making of" the film , (which shows much of the development of the set) from which i was originally inspired to search the net for any information about it! And its great to know it is still there. Which is why it`s also sweet to see those photos too thanks again Mark!
If only the UK had such things to explore...

I didn't know either, I just looked at the name of the town.

| | | | Mark you`re quite right, I didn`t seem overly positive then! I have checked out a fair few interesting bunkers and tunnels over the years (in fact i have some photos to share sometime!) but nothing yet as grand as this reactor/film set!
It appears the US has far superior bunkers and silos to explore. ( UK dos`nt have any proper missile silos , as far as i`m aware?)
But having said that, there are some very unique places here, like Witley Manor (no longer accessible unfortunately) and mad bunker complex`s around Wiltshire etc over here so i should stop moaning and go find it !
sorry to go off-topic there
Did u get up close to the main rig in the reactor bed?

| | | | No due to her broken toe we didnt do half the things we wanted to. That was for a later trip that never actually happened.

It does, you just need to know where to look - a lot of filming takes place here.

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit. |

The original poster (slacker) of this sub-thread is not level-3, so he isn't able to see some of the galleries. A lot of the great ones were removed due to some disputes between a lot of users and UER admin/mods and are on Turbozurtek's web-site which is available for all to see.
