      Dinner, you all are sitting down, enjoying when suddenly the audio kicks in. Then, pirates come in, take the mother in law, and as she's screaming for help, you just wave casually, smirking, while your spouse is looking at you aghast, telling you to help them.

      @manenkoff 6 років тому +31

      Actually it's not as bad as you think or even remotely close to what others are commenting. In truth, Disney really only has River Country and Discovery Island that are abandoned. The resort they had abandoned is now the Art of Animation resort. The rest of their "abandoned" projects are just that, projects that never came to be as their original plans. But the ones inside the parks have had other projects done in their place. A few other projects, like Disney's America, never broke ground and the land has since been bought and used by others.
      This island was never owned, designed, built, or operated by Disney. Disney had a contract with the cruise line who in turn had a contract with the owners of the island. The setting was a joint venture between the cruise line and the owners of the island. It was then the cruise line that eventually abandoned it, not Disney.

      It's why it's important for local community councils to have more say in how a town or city is zoned rather than developers. More and more recently we've been seeing things like these housing developments, golf courses, and sports stadiums that adversely affect the local ecosystem or community structure. The towns and cities listen to the developers because they'll hope they'll bring in money with the new structures. Sometimes it works. For a tiny island like this however, there's no way building any of this served a purpose. It was pure vanity.

      Where did it sink? Was it abandoned at the time? Just wondering, can't find it when I google it. Also thank you: I am 27 but it seems like I am the oldest person on UA-cam by about a decade sometimes.

      Pickles it was sank off the coast of Thailand . Here's the wiki telling it's history. It's sad. I took my high school senior cruise on it in 90 and now this part of my history is gone

      I went on a Cruise on another of their ships, the Oceana. It sank after the cruise line went under and they were moving the ship. I think it sank off the coast of North Carolina.

    Jake, another gem video you did!! OMG, I remember this island, I remember the cruise line!! This brought back numerous memories. It was truly the best Cruise vacation I can remember. The MS/Majestic one of the Premier ships had a four diamond chef on board. Best food I have ever taste. Treasure Cay was fun, relaxing and it was absolutely beautiful. The entertainment was fun. Thank you for bringing back the memories. Keep up the great work. I mean it, I love love love your videos!!

    This is so wild. I went on a cruise on the big red boat back in the early 90s when I was like 8 years old. I had no idea it was a legend of abandoned fame now. So cool to see all these facts I never would've known about. It was a great cruise, the island was beautiful. Still have video of the trip on VHS somewhere, I think

    • @MoonS1337
      @MoonS1337 4 роки тому +17

      Considering that it’s an island, it’s most likely that any animal life that lives there was either marine or avian. You wouldn’t find creatures like bears, dear, hogs, or anything like that on a secluded tropical island. It’s too small and the weather too tropically dangerous to support a decent sized population.

I had never heard of most of these abandoned places before this channel and now I find myself informing my friends on random Disney projects/malls/ect that lay abandoned somewhere :P Thanks for being awesome and I look forward to more videos :D

  • @Medic_312

    Jake, thank you for these great videos. I can imagine you share a good sense to catalog these abandoned historical sites before they are demolished or gone but also truly appreciate the history behind the location. Keep up the excellent work as your one of my favorite on UA-cam and plan to have the shirt soon to support!

    I WAS ON THIS CRUISE!! With my family in 1994, can’t tell you what this video means to me. My little brother and I probably 6 yrs old & 9 yrs old? Our best memory of a vacation ever. The water was crystal clear and we also got to have those days at Disney..the exact same package! The best memories of this ship, Mickey and the Islands. I too have always been fascinated with abandoned places and have some locations I’d love to share with you if they’d be places you’d want to document!! You’re awesome Jake, this is the ONLY binge worthy quality quarantine TV I’ve found!! So glad I stumbled upon the McBarge video and discovered this series. (PS I have also visited the floating McDonalds by the Arch in St. Louis!!)

I love history, business, and economics and you cover them all. I really appreciate your videos and will continue to be a repeat view.

    Golf courses. Always with the freakin' golf courses. Possibly the worst area/play ratio out of any sport to exist, and there are more of these damn things than there are soccer fields. Plus the fact that it's expensive to play compared to everything else, keeping it a rich man's sport. And yet we keep building the courses for it.
    And why is it always the tropical islands that they do this with? Whatever happened to wanting a mansion in the woods of New England, or a chateau on an island off the coast of Connecticut?
