Today I am revisiting the topic that started this whole series and diving deep to explore the full history and what is eventually going to happen to Walt Disney World's River Country.

EP53 Zellers Jul 17, 2020

Setting up retail in Canada is rather hard. However through most of the 1900's, there was one brand that rose through everyone else and became a thriving discount department store brand.

However their fate ultimately ended with yet another American retail brand trying to make their own entry into Canada. That went well...

EP54 American Dream Mall Jul 31, 2020

EP55 Revel Casino Resort Sep 11, 2020

This is the incredible and sad story of Walt Disney World's, Wonders of Life.

EP58 Kmart Dec 18, 2020

Ever since the 1950's, SS Kresge and Kmart have been shaping the way North Americans shop. Kmart especially pioneered now common place shopping aspects and became a massive brand which is known around the world. With well over 2,000 stores across America, there was no stopping this mega retailer from their billions of dollars worth of sales. That was until a series of poor decisions and bad timing rather quickly brought down the goliath brand. Today almost all of those stores are closed and most abandoned, with little business from the company still being done. Join me as I look into how Kmart failed and who's to blame.

EP59 Chicago Spire Feb 05, 2021

However a series of financial catastrophes then ensued leaving an enormous abandoned foundation. This is the Chicago Spire.

EP60 Memphis Pyramid Mar 05, 2021

Along the Mississippi River and just outside the city centre of Memphis sits perhaps the most out of place structure in any American city. The Great American Pyramid as it was touted in the late 80's was promised to be the next huge landmark in the midwest, a tourism marvel which would be reveared by millions. When it opened in 1991 however, the Memphis Pyramid arena wasn't the spectacular landmark it was supposed to be, Join me as I look into how this strange stadium got built, how it was abandoned and how a Bass Pro Shop ultimately moved in. This is a weird one.

Famous for being the 3rd largest mall in America, Century 3 Mall was the product of the mall boom across the nation. Built with style and size, the shopping centre became enormously popular.

EP62 Hard Rock Park Jun 04, 2021

After nearly a decade of trying to get a theme park built in the beach town of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Hard Rock officially opened their very own licensed theme park.

EP63 Fontainebleau Las Vegas Jul 02, 2021

On the North End of the iconic, Las Vegas Strip sits a massive, glass tower higher than any other building down the boulevard. For those who have visited the strip, the sight of this infamous tower has become all too common.

This is The Drew, or formally known as the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

EP64 Marineland of the Pacific Sep 24, 2021

Situated on the gorgeous Palos Verdes Peninsula was once one of the most iconic amusement parks in California and certainly the largest marine based oceanarium in the Los Angeles area, opening a year before Disneyland. Marineland of the Pacific ultimately grew to a become a massive park where millions of visitors from around the world would come to see the various exhibits and attractions held within the picturesque facility. However this draw only lasted for so long as their main competitor Sea World had different plans for the iconic park.... One that ultimately left this theme park completely abandoned.

EP65 Dixie Square Mall Oct 22, 2021

Today, I'm diving deep into a fascinating and infamous mall located in the suburbs of Chicago. It was once a lavish, modern shopping showcase following the first malls in America. By all accounts, it should have succeeded and for its first few years, it did! However crime and population shifts plagued the mall over the next few years and heinous events occurred far too regularly. After just 12 years, Dixie Square Mall closed for good, bringing a much different legacy for the property. Blues Brothers was filmed there, yet afterwords was left to decay and that's how it sat for the proceeding 30+ years...

EP67 Penn Hills Resort Nov 19, 2021

Nestled in the iconic hills of the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania, sits a resort almost as famous as the location it resides in. Penn Hills Resort began all the way back in the 1940's and grew to be one of the most popular and iconic honeymoon destinations in America. A luxurious symbol for a natures getaway complete with heart shaped hot tubs in their suites. However, as years went on, people stopped coming not just here, but for most of the Poconos resorts.

EP68 Echelon Las Vegas Dec 03, 2021

Down the notorious North end of the Las Vegas Strip, sits a massive resort nearly 3 times as large as its neighbour, the never finished Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Just like that resort, the Echelon Place Casino & Resort Las Vegas was set to be one of the most expensive private resorts in the world. One set to completely transform the north end of Las Vegas Boulevard with its sheer size and luxury, bringing thousands of hotel rooms and new brands like Shangri-La to the city. However after 2008, everything stopped and for years, the unfinished structures sat abandoned and baking in the hot desert sun. Join me today to find out how this happened and how Resorts World Las Vegas now occupies this once incredible project.

EP69 Wonderland Amusement Park Dec 17, 2021

In a small village just outside Beijing, China sits one of the most infamous abandoned theme parks ever. Often circulated around the internet as a never finished Disney theme park copycat, the amazing story of the never finished and abandoned Wonderland Amusement Park has never really been told properly.

The Magic Kingdom style theme park would have been enormous but after several missteps, the failure became far more known than the promise. Join me as we demystify this incredible park in China!

EP70 Disney's Communicore / Innoventions Mar 11, 2022

In 1982, The Walt Disney Company opened their ambitious park of the future. A theme park designed to inspire and educate people on the world, culture, history and most importantly, our collective future. In Epcot Centre's Future World section, two buildings stood as the core for the entire park, a showcase of science and technology in a hands on format. Communicore was Epcot's Main Street USA and stood for many years as a showcase of the future. Ultimately with new company leadership, it was changed to Innoventions. The purpose was lost over the years until it fell into a depressing state with large portions abandoned. Now we're looking to the future of what Disney Parks have in store for the buildings. Plans which themselves might even be abandoned...

EP71 Disney's Horizons Apr 08, 2022

Ever since 1982 when Disney's Epcot Center first opened, a pavilion sponsored by GE had been planned to tie everything in Future World together as it looks far into the future. A year later, that attraction materialized in the form of Horizons, an omnimover ride visiting the lives of family members through their life in the future. It was nothing less than spectacular and very much beloved by many as it was everything Epcot was meant to be and encapsulated the spirt of Walt Disney himself. However just 11 year later it was closed and only operated seasonally. It was abandoned altogether in 1999 and demolished soon after to make way for Mission Space. So join me today as I find out why Disney demolished one of their best attractions ever.

EP73 Fry's Electronics Sep 10, 2022

For over 35 years, Fry's Electronics have been a staple in consumer electronic shopping, especially in California. With a localized, national reach as well, the company slowly grew into a quirky, big box electronic store chain which also sold apparel and food. All contained within their themed, massive stores. But in recent years, customers dwindled and those who did stick around noticed empty shelves. Suspicions of company trouble were proven correct as in 2021, the company announced they would be shutting down, leaving a several stores abandoned in their wake.

EP74 Jeddah Tower Oct 07, 2022

Climbing high into the Saudi Arabian skies was a tower like no other. At 1km high and surpassing the world's already tallest tower, the Burj Khalifa, this mega was truly enormous. Originally named the Kingdom Tower and planned to be the centrepiece of the sparkling Jeddah Economic City. However things didn't go to plan and today I'm going to find out why the worlds newest, modern skyscraper never made it past the 50th floor and why it sits abandoned in an empty plot of land, in the desert.

EP75 Ghost Town In The Sky Nov 04, 2022

Perched, 5,000 feet into the sky among to famous Smokey Mountains sits a theme park like no other.
