A former Walt Disney World attraction that has been closed for years is once again being visited by tourists, but what the visitors are doing is extremely dangerous and possibly illegal. Discovery Island, located in the middle of Disney’s Bay Lake, is off-limits to resort guests. For a group of adventurers that make it their mission to explore forbidden territory and brag about it on the Internet, that does not apply to them.
Read more and see video from WKMG/Orlando.
The island probably looks better now than it did in 1999 when the attraction was open. Hahah. I found it to be oddly abandoned looking when it was in full swing--cramped and makeshift. No elements of magic. No "How did they do that?" Just eerie zoo-like exhibits. Netted structures containing exotic birds. No music. No personalities. A few employees with dazed looks on their faces. Strange, and a little bit unsettling.
I wish I would have known Discovery Island was like that, Bill. Sounds like my kind of attraction, especially the part about it being "Strange, and a little bit unsettling."
