      Yeah, let's tear down an abandoned Disney destination with so much history of family and fun for a GOLF COURSE that hardly anybody will use. I estimate, the project is going to end up like every other "rich housing" project. It will flop and go abandoned itself. All at the expense of what? All that nature destroyed. As if climate change wasn't a concern as is. Capitalist pigs.

    • @manenkoff
      @manenkoff 6 лет назад +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.

    I went on a cruise to the abaco on a premiere ship in 1990. They already had Mickey characters roaming the ship then. Unfortunately, I recently learned the ship I sailed on sank about a year or two ago. (The majestic) Thanks for this

      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 RUclips by about a decade sometimes.

      @Vlogsoup 7 лет назад +22

      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

      phoenixfyre71 Actually I am glad it sank... You want to know why? If it hadn't those greedy scrappers at Alang India would have gotten to it.

      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!!

Keep up the excellent work as your one of my favorite on RUclips and plan to have the shirt soon to support!

    • @MoonS1337
      @MoonS1337 4 года назад +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.

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!!)
