ABANDONED DISNEY: River Country [Part 3]

 

This excellent map is from 1993.  I love the woodcut style.  I always love designs with choice, limited color palettes.  Even the Goofy artwork matches the rest of the design.  Thank you, Mr. Gibson for the scans!

 

 




I suppose the canoes are from Fort Wilderness recreation.  The basketball hoop, for cast members.  Reminds me a little of the run-down basketball rim bolted to a wooden staircase in top portion of the Matterhorn.  That too has been quite abandoned.  The cage-like wooden boxes (seen in the last two photos) made me wonder if they came from Discovery Island.  Who knows.

Also enjoy [Part 1][Part 2], and [Part 4].

This is rather sad, not to mention kind of spooky. This was definitely my favorite waterpark when I was little. I don't remember much, but I do remember being very sad when my dad told me that they had closed it all down. Well, long live the memory of good ol' River Country.

In the lower left, is that the old water tower sign in the bushes?

I don't know. Hmmm. I'll have to look at the larger photo. That would be cool if it is. For some reason these are not clickable. I'll fix that asap.
