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.
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. 🤡
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.
Another great video and interesting stuff, I never knew these abandoned megaprojects without this amazing video, please make more video because this is amazing ❤
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.
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. 🇯🇵
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.
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
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.
i think they made a movie about the life of forced labor in Hashima Island. it's called Battleship Island iirc. although it is not a 100% accurate, but it does show the harsh environment that the workers endured
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).
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!
...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!
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.
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?
this video confused me some were some weren't abandoned and hoshima was just a mine that developed over time there are many more of such islands still in use i wouldn't call it a megaproject
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.
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,
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.
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).
21000 people and they have problems with the sewer LOL - try visiting a football (some say soccer) arenas in Europe can seat 80000 and more. And they dont have a single issue with sewers.
Heard it's in s.g, that isle city, if can just explore understanding beside sea is coolness that is like shivery, this kind of temperature is like "a targeted science" instead of "true least pain path about the secret hot and pain from equator Hole's voltage", still unspotted then have to bear with their bad gas from accusations using "science names" as reasons to be around? It's unfair no boundary was created, anything happened(settled like a minus 1 of the movement) then not informed.

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.
These videos are always so interesting! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! :)
There is something evocative and affecting about these abandoned sites.
.
Man! This channel is so underrated. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.
thanks a lot!
100% agree
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?

Most of these places are no longer abandoned.
How do you know?

Awesome video Mr. Luxury! I watch these when I’m high and they always hit the spot
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.
A Bass Pro Shop Pyramid lol!
Also, the base of that Wonderland Castle looks like a German flak tower from WW2.
Another great video and interesting stuff, I never knew these abandoned megaprojects without this amazing video, please make more video because this is amazing ❤
@Top Luxury, noticed this before but your narrator and choice of music don't miss. They complement each other very well. Love binging these videos.
Thanks a lot 😍
@@MegaBuildsYT I love architecture and engineering feats so these videos scratch my itch.
In my fictional world, all projects in this video already finished and successful
Interesting...
Love This Narrative
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.
Tempelholfer?
Fun Fact: The Berlin Airlift is not mentioned in this video. That means you're correcting something that wasn't wrong in the first place.
Great video, thanks 👍
Love your videos
Thank you very much! 💛
@@MegaBuildsYT Can't wait for more 👍🏻

That story in Venezuela is incredible ….it shows you how just resourceful people can be if they had ….resources, and not necessarily money.

please, turn down the background music.
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.
Thanks, I had no idea there was a pyramid in Tennessee.
Well I am actually surprised that the movie Skyfall isn´t mentioned in the bit with Hashima Island.
i think they made a movie about the life of forced labor in Hashima Island. it's called Battleship Island iirc. although it is not a 100% accurate, but it does show the harsh environment that the workers endured
Not going to mention the fact that Hashima Island was used as a filming location for the movie Skyfall?
I like how the banner in the video calls the channel "Top Luxury" and neither word is in the channel's name.
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).
background music is a vibe! is there a tracklist/artist?
the music is from epidemicsound, but its not one list or artist only.
what if hashima island rebuild and turn modern like singapore
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.
It would be nice if you researched the pronunciation of the locations and terms used.
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!
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.
One commenter further up at least gave the correct pronunciation for us to learn instead of just yelling muuuhh, wrong!

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.
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.
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.
I love how he says we and our meanwhile some guy in his basement
Why does hashima island remind me or alcatraz?
How come you don't mention Malaysia's Forest City?
Moral of the story : Bigger is not always better

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._

@@DeflatorMouse Not really because it's in Venuzuela.
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.

The Memphis Pyramid even became a regular visit from Dude Perfect.
fun fact hashima island was used to film 007 james bond: skyfall
Thanks. I was looking to confirm that too.
this video confused me some were some weren't abandoned and hoshima was just a mine that developed over time there are many more of such islands still in use i wouldn't call it a megaproject
uhhhhh what is your definition of abandoned because clearly the majority of these project sites are still in use.
All the junkies and homeless people. That are in Oakland and in Los Angeles. You should put them here.
Misubishi should have repurposed Hashima Island as a Holiday Camp !
I can't believe that the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea didn't make the list. Its story is pretty interesting in itself.
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.
here I wait for the Line to be abandon so that it's going to be in one of these type of video again
Add the line in a few years

Fact check… Tempelhof Airport Berlin 3,55km2 - Phoenix Park Dublin 7.07km2

So the pyramid in Memphis isn't abandoned after all, is it?
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,
Never heard of Karakas.
Can I please get a hi
Hi 😊
This is why REGULATIONS are good.
You forgot 1 ''famous'' abandoned megaproject: the wiping of my ass after KFC
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.
That poor beautiful pyramid, ruined with tacky signage.
what about peoples old minecraft worlds...????
