| | Weird little thing on the Great Salt Lake < on 1/2/2012 6:55 AM >
| | | Welp, just got back from Utah. I know this is the southern forum but I'm post whoring, so enjoy. This little guy is sitting right on the beach of the Great Salt Lake. Kinda purty, no?
Surrounded by bits of an old water park slide
Derp
Lots of graffitti
Purty
Lol, mormons
Someone proposed here
uh-oh!
Lotsa brass
This old girl was outside
Old, old remains of an old, old pier running out to the Salt Lake
Exploring in suits is kind of my new thing

| | | Suits, I like it. BUT I think draining in suits might be a bad financial decision. Sweet little places though.

Actually there's a whole thread of that on the private drainers board. Something like a fancy dress drain party or something, those Europeans are crazy.

Still seems like a bad financial decision But I bet the results are snazzy.

| | | Military had some sort of test annex right on the shore of the GSL that was abandoned years ago. I forget the details, but will try to locate the info.

| | | Actually I found out what it is. At the turn of the century, there was a very large, Mormon run resort / amusement park there called Saltair. It features "the world's largest dance floor", several roller coasters, a train ride, and an extended pier out into the Salt Lake. The resort was intended as a 'safe place' where young mormons could go for dates and fun without worrying about the utter horrers of the real world like caffeine or loud music. The resort was strongly criticized by the church for selling tea and alcohol, as well as for being open on Sundays. They sold it in 1906, and Saltair burned to the ground in 1925. However, a new park was built at the same location, this time, including a movie theater and a larger dance floor. In the 1930's, another fire struck the resort, causing $100,000 in damage, and then, during World War 2, fuel rationing caused the closure of the park. After the war, the park re-opened, but closed it's doors for good in 1958. In 1970, an arson fire set on the dance floor completely destroyed the complex. In 1981, with the construction of I-80, interest in the park rose again, and a third Saltair was built. It was built out of a scrapped air force hanger originally located a mile away. It never really took off, and by the 90's it was all but abandoned. Occasionally concerts will be held there, but very rarely. All that remains of the original grandeour is the skeleton of one of the railroad cars used to ferry visitors from Salt Lake City to Saltair.

The cinderblock structure was a power house used to provide power to the rollercoasters and lights.

| | | I lived in Utah from 1990-1993. My parents came to visit in '92, and I could swear that train car was a gift shop that was actually still in business at that time. It's been so long I don't remember for sure, but it looks awfully familiar. [last edit 1/7/2012 1:54 AM by White Winged Dove - edited 1 times]

I seriously doubt it. That car is WAAAAAAAAAY far gone, there's no sign either place has been used in at least 2 or 3 decades.

| | | I swear, that theme park thing was in a movie made pretty recently. Something about love, death, and pianos? I don't know. I know I've seen it before, in any case.
