See What Disney’s River Country Looks Like Now – 15 Years After Closing

Published on 6/2/17 by Craig Smith

It is always interesting (and sad) to see what theme parks look like after they close. In the case of Disney’s River Country, the popular Disney World water park that was in operation from 1976-2001 and located near Fort Wilderness, much of the park remains with a bunch of vegetation growing over it.

Photographer Seph Lawless visited the abandoned park recently and took a bunch of pictures for his new book Autopsy of America: The Death of a Nation (affiliate link). Here is a gallery of some of his amazing photos of the park. Have a look. The park really does have an spooky feel to it these days.
