If you believe the reason for not building it was property disputes with "locals" you are an idiot. Chinese people do own shit ... CCP if they want to can take any land for any reason and kick their residents on street if the do not burry them alive while demolishing their home anyway! What I see as a reason is that this park would bring piece of west into the China and that is a simple reason why not to build it.
Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea. Standing 330 meters high with 105 floors, this pyramid-shaped skyscraper was supposed to be a luxury hotel, but construction stopped in 1992 due to lack of funds. Since then, it has been periodically restarted and stopped again.
It’s a shame the building allowed commercial signage on it’s exterior. It’s a blight. The signage could have been keep at ground level. It ruins what could have been a landmark building.
As a venezuelan, allow me a small correction. The strong syllable in Caracas is the second one, not the last one. It's pronounced ca-RA-cas, not cara-CAS.
Thank you for adding something of value to this comment section instead of just "muuh you pronounced my place wrong". I did it wrong before, now I know better.
He literally tells you in the video what happens to all these places? Also clearly states abandoned mega projects meaning the initial purpose/project for the structure is no more. 🤡
I would like to make a correction, Tempelholfer wasn’t the only airport during the Berlin Airlift, Tegel was also used towards the end of the airlift. Fun fact: Tegel had the longest runway in Europe when it finished construction.
You could also add the Khazar Islands. It's abandoned megaproject and artificial islands in south of Baku, Azerbaijan consisting of 41 islands extending 3,000 hectares into the Caspian Sea.
The Memphis Pyramid had a rocky history but seems to have ended up a success story in the end-although being a massive Bass Pro Shop hardly matches the grand inspiration behind the original conception of the project.
Another great video and interesting stuff, I never knew these abandoned megaprojects without this amazing video, please make more video because this is amazing ❤
Am i the only one that feels activision took a large amount of inspiration from hashima island in warzone. The original warzone rebirth map, obviously its very different but key points of interest and the general shape make me feel they designed it while looking at a picture of hashima. Mainly the far points of the island. the tin building in the middle of an empty parking lot on one end, a tall building with a small extension on the back at the other. The hills and the buildings lining the coast. Id bet money they rebuilt and changed it for the game
You should include Mirabel airport in Canada in your future videos. A huge investment to serve the city of Montreal. Airport was closed 20 years after inauguration.
Hello i just founded your Channel and these videos seems Awesome and interesting. I've heared about that Japan abandoned Hashima island, its so mystic and interesting with full of mystery and History. I Am huge Japan fan and Japanese mysteries are truly amazing. Its sad The whole islands and Cities was Been abandoned after its long Life, i can see all The Japanese peoples and Their Life in that island. 🇯🇵
0:30 North of "Wonderland Amusement Park" are also three interesting structures that seem to be abandoned (see Google Earth History): A large circular building, a large park area and some kind of small town city center recreation. There is a fourth structure further north that looks like a race track / urban town recreation (probably a training ground).
Maybe it's just me, but the non-abandoned Memphis pyramid doesn't seem to belong in a list of abandoned projects - since it's.... y'know.... not abandoned.
Growing up in Memphis, I remember seeing Power Rangers Live in the Pyramid. If I recall the pyramid itself is sinking very slowly due to the river bluff, which is why the amusement park could never exist there.
Hashima Island, is probably better known by the name Gunkanjima, which means battleship island due to its resemblance to one at certain angles. Supposedly it was torpedoed by a US submarine in World War 2 because of the way it looked,
...and Tempelhof, and Tegel, and...who cares? Big deal. Everyone outside Venezuela pronounces it wrong. One commenter further up at least gave the correct pronunciation for us to learn instead of just yelling muuuhh, wrong!
I really wish all buildings and construction sites that have been abandoned for more than a decade, must be either sold to someone who is then held accountable to do something with the property, or simply demolished to make way for nature.
Love the channel content but due to the high production quality, simple pronunciation errors really stand out...notably, Caracas is pronounced Ka-raw-kaass. Otherwise, this is a really good channel. Thanks!
How are these places abandoned when they mostly all are officially open tourist sites or actually a neighborhood on land for the first one with a castle behind it (forgot to mention what it is today).
14 Aug 2023 - Why does "Top Luxury" believe that it is necessary to have background "music" which is clearly audible while the narrator is speaking? Do you believe that what the narrator says is not enough?
Thank you for showing face and allowing me to mitigate suspicion of using a robo voice. I don't think you are deepfake, and if you are, well good job then.
Well I achually can’t believe I’ve been to a place that mike Tyson has been to the Memphis pyramid! It was so funn! And it was so huge like crazy huge and the top balcony was scary very scary it had a lot trust me!
Which of these megaprojects is the most interesting? Do you know similar projects?😌👇
I like the Memphis pyramid. I’ve been there a few times and it is so cool

@Top_Luxury 11:15 .... no, Kings Park in Perth, Western Australia is bigger at 400 hectares

And to this day it's still standing empty. I believe the North Korean government put about 30% of its GDP into building it.
I love the idea to change old airport into an entertainment park.
I love the idea to change old airport into an entertainment park.. Most of these places are no longer abandoned..
These videos are always so interesting! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! :)
In my fictional world, all projects in this video already finished and successful
I’ve been to the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid and it is awesome. If you are ever in Memphis, you definitely need to visit it
What's so good about it?

@@Peeta-wn4hh You'd think Bass Pro Shops would be aware. Glad to see the building being successfully used, but the sign ruins the art of it.
I love how when he talks about the history of Berlin Tempelhof he doesn't mention its critical role in the Berlin airlift!
Same here...and it wouldn't have been that hard to do.
I love those people in the tower of david!
May God bless them all with better lives
There is something evocative and affecting about these abandoned sites.
.
A Bass Pro Shop Pyramid lol!
Also, the base of that Wonderland Castle looks like a German flak tower from WW2.

Why does hashima island remind me or alcatraz?
Never heard of Karakas.
Keep up the great work 💪 suggestion: the ellinikon park in Greece is a great idea for a video!
Not going to mention the fact that Hashima Island was used as a filming location for the movie Skyfall?
Moral of the story : Bigger is not always better
Maybe it's just me, but the non-abandoned Memphis pyramid doesn't seem to belong in a list of abandoned projects - since it's.... y'know.... not abandoned.
nice video, me is like very much
If you ask me, Places like Hashima Island hsa to be preserved, if we ignore all evil, evil will grow, its important to remember what road lead where.
Hence proved, infrastructure projects can sometimes be useless.
I think Bass Pro Shop occupies the Memphis Pyramid now. Massive store and there is an elevator that will take you to the top but there is a fee.
The pyramid in Memphis TN shouldn't be on the list since it's no longer abandoned.
It was for a long time, though, and its original purpose was scrapped.
Thanks, I had no idea there was a pyramid in Tennessee.
background music is a vibe! is there a tracklist/artist?
the music is from epidemicsound, but its not one list or artist only.
Fact check… Tempelhof Airport Berlin 3,55km2 - Phoenix Park Dublin 7.07km2
Literally double the size. 11:22
love the content of all of your videos.
please, turn down the background music.
fun fact hashima island was used to film 007 james bond: skyfall
Thanks. I was looking to confirm that too.
Misubishi should have repurposed Hashima Island as a Holiday Camp !
here I wait for the Line to be abandon so that it's going to be in one of these type of video again
It would be nice if you researched the pronunciation of the locations and terms used.
Growing up in Memphis, I remember seeing Power Rangers Live in the Pyramid. If I recall the pyramid itself is sinking very slowly due to the river bluff, which is why the amusement park could never exist there.
Well I am actually surprised that the movie Skyfall isn´t mentioned in the bit with Hashima Island.
its crazy the idea of a homeless infested abandoned skyscraper in the middle of a metropolis
It's a great metaphor for the world's economic situation, huh?
@@DeflatorMouse Not really because it's in Venuzuela.
I can't believe that the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea didn't make the list. Its story is pretty interesting in itself.
8:18 our first UFO sighting!
love the video
this made my day
Thank you so much! 😄
Hashima Island, is probably better known by the name Gunkanjima, which means battleship island due to its resemblance to one at certain angles. Supposedly it was torpedoed by a US submarine in World War 2 because of the way it looked,
Alcatraz!!!
Talking about the airport, I thought you were on about the one that got built but never opened that was featured in _Captain America: Civil War._
Great video. But you mispronounce Caracas.
Yeah, I know it shouldn't, but it bugged me to no end lol
...and Tempelhof, and Tegel, and...who cares?
Big deal. Everyone outside Venezuela pronounces it wrong.

Why is the pyramid on this list? Not to mention it was the longest segment.
I guess this video is about places that were abandoned for a time? A little misleading, yes.
This is why REGULATIONS are good.
I love how he says we and our meanwhile some guy in his basement
The Memphis Pyramid even became a regular visit from Dude Perfect.
Wild 🔥
Any construction worker in any trade could tell you why these types of things happen, once the decay starts it cannot be reestablished.
Love the channel content but due to the high production quality, simple pronunciation errors really stand out...notably, Caracas is pronounced Ka-raw-kaass.
Otherwise, this is a really good channel. Thanks!
All the junkies and homeless people. That are in Oakland and in Los Angeles. You should put them here.
what if hashima island rebuild and turn modern like singapore

How you gonna leave out the Hashima island was in 007 🤦🏻♂️
Let's see, maybe it didn't fit in between the coal mining and POWs and it's a 15min with five places video for pete's sake.
Also, nobody cares.
