      Lilly XD I understand its really sad when somewhere you had amazing memories gets closed and destroyed like this, it’s actually now completely demolished... but it’s JUST a place, those memories are still there and they’re still good memories. I don’t understand crying over it, just because the place is destroyed doesn’t mean the memories are.

      Jocelyn Adams people destroy everything. Not just abandoned places, people destroy nature,animals, open places, anything nice and clean they ruin, they destroy one another, they destroy families through cheating and lying, people destroy others hopes and dreams. People destroy the poor by not helping anyone ever and being selfish. People are evil to the core, greedy to the core, and until everyone decides to immediately change, nothing is ever going to be alright again. This world has no hope until people choose to fix everything.

    " As we walk to our room we noticed water damage and structural damage everywhere. When we open our room the immediate smell of mold and mildew hit me in the face. The sheets that I can only assume used to be white were disgusting and riddled with stains and dirt. The bathroom was in equally bad shape. The carpet had delightful mystery stains all over it. And the ceiling appeared to have some kind of mildew or mold. Additional mold was found on the walls of the bathroom. I opened up the curtains of the window in order to brighten up the room and get a better view but was unfortunately met by the lovely view of yet another damaged wall in a dark hallway. There was no way we were going to spend a night in these conditions for any amount of money not to mention the overcharged amount that we received."

    I love waterparks, so seeing abandoned ones always makes me sad. Be careful though man, those old slides don't look that safe. Parts are missing, other parts have dropped off. Sad how badly those scrappers trashed that hotel as well. It looked like it was in OK condition before they went through and ruined the place. Now if anyone wanted to remodel it, it will be nearly impossible. [I just found some reviews of the place online. It seemed like it was quite popular 10 years ago, but had a heap of problems in the last couple of years before it closed]

    • @juandenz2008
      @juandenz2008 Před 6 lety +2

      +angelina angel . I think the place just got quite old and run down and needed refurbishing. The owners didn't have the money, so fewer people were visiting. As the money issues and lack of maintenance started to accumulate so did complaints online from guests about how it was run down and dirty. Apparently there were security problems as well with lots of cars getting broken into. With so many bad reviews and the water park being closed (not enough money to refurbish it), people just stopped staying there and it closed. It seems it was almost deserted in the last year or so that it was open and hardly anyone stayed there. Kind of sad to see these once thriving businesses close, but I guess that happens all over the world.
