Disney’s RiverCountry Rotting in Fittingly Ballardian Way

In 1976, RiverCountry opened up at Walt Disney World in Florida.  By 2001, it had closed.  Now, it stands–rotting and decrepit in a manner that J.G. Ballard would have approved of.  These photos come from an excellent thread about River Country on Dis Boards.

It was just a waterpark, although one of the first generation of waterparks.  Here are the rotting water slides:

And a map of the whole sorry affair:
