Posted by MisUnderstood! Loved your story! Made me smile I will never forget 2013. Thats when i went. My. My, how different this place is now. Im surprised that the Security is still the same. I was like you, DETERMINED! I didnt drive 6 hours to get there and have nothing to show for it. Got caught, left, came back and got caught again because some stupid idiots were climbing up to the top of rides and waving their hands and shouting. On the second capture, they made us sign papers that we had been given warning and would never return. LOL. I cant recall whose name and address i used but it sure wasn't mine. Then he showed us the ponds and tried to scare us with horrid stories of man-eating gators. C'mon man, im not afraid of snakes and gators that are living in the swamp. Im not going for a swim! i said, Im just trying to peacefully take shots of the rides....Then, i will peacefully show you to the gate he said You WILL be ARRESTED next visit, he SHOUTED. http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx333/Lucielou_photo/IMG_2858.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx333/Lucielou_photo/IMG_2846.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx333/Lucielou_photo/IMG_2901.jpg http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/xx333/Lucielou_photo/IMG_2881.jpg Thanks EVER so much for the trip down memory lane! Really enjoyed your pics! I don't think i have ever posted all my shots i got then, here are a few for comparison sake. |
Posted by MidPlainsDrifter This place was featured on Viceland series, “Abandoned” featuring Rick McCRank. He explored this place thoroughly with friends. Great job by the way. A visit it now planned. |
Posted by Pear I was there the day the filmed it, it was the worst coincidence you could ever imagine. They had a little mazda 7 lined with all this camera gear. On our way out we talked to the producer, he was a nice canadian dude. Didn't get to talk to rick though, wish we were able to. |
Posted by AsylumGhost Love the story along with the pictures. Im surprised they even bother with Security still at this point. |
Posted by xXxStrangeRxXx I've heard stories of alligators taking up residency in that park 😨 |
Posted by JokerSentry There used to be, and that was for a very brief period. They've long been removed from the park to protect it's cinema value. I haven't seen any alligators in there in years. If there were, they're hardly a threat unless you're in water. Seeing that parts of the park are always flooded, there are plenty of areas for them to nestle in. In a situation where they're a caution, especially here, you do as Professor Oak and Ajay said and avoid the high grass. |
