These Photos From An Abandoned Disney World Water Park Are A Haunting Sight

These Photos From An Abandoned Disney World Water Park Are A Haunting Sight

The park closed in 2001.

What does a theme park look like after everybody has left and young families aren't being coaxed into re-mortgaging the house just to buy tickets.

Well, like something from an Indiana Jones film. Disney's River Country water park, in Bay Lake, Florida opened as Walt Disney World's first water park in 1976, but it closed in 2001 after a young boy died of an infection he contracted at the park.

Recently, the photographer Seph Lawless got inside and managed to capture a collection of beautifully eerie photos.

Sadly, Disney wasn't a fan of Seph's work. He says he's now banned from entering any Disney theme parks. Bummer.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Seph said he hopes his work will show the world how Disney left all of their trash in the middle of Florida.
