Ghost resort in Disney World
Matt sez, "Along the lines of the 'ghost' hotels in Egypt sitting incomplete, Disney World has had the Legendary Years section of Pop Century sitting incomplete for several years as well. " Link to YouTube video, Link to photo gallery (Thanks, Matt!)

aww, when I read the headline I was hoping for a Haunted Mansion themed hotel.
^ that would ROCK
FYI, this is located here, in google maps.
that's nothing...I know a certain United States Air Force Base that has a fully equipped Shuttle Launch pad that has NEVER been used. It was created in the 1980s and is absolutely massive, yet nobody really ever mentions it.
There's an irregularly updated website I read (Matthias Wandel's Home page) where the guy talks about his tech/woodworking projects and other hobbies -- the most interesting section to me is where he explores modern ruins. It makes trespassing seem fun!
Interesting. In the photo group it says that the place was apparently expected to be finished and ready to be moved into by vacationers in 'late 2007 or early 2008'...
This reminds me of the Ryugyong hotel in Pyongyang.
Why does abandoned stuff seem more interesting than stuff thats being used?
Matthias Wandel's page was awesome.

Wow! It's hard to believe that any building located that close to the Epcot sphere could be so desolate!
Thanks for the link, Yorgle!
#4: The one on the California coast, meant for launching military missions on polar-crossing orbits?
That video reminded me of one of the levels in Call of Duty 4.
I don't know about anybody else, but my favorite part of the video was when the tiny bug walked across the lens of the camera at 1:01. That really completed my experience of the environment. :)
It does the same for me, Xian, which in turn reminded me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
I believe this was a casualty of 9/11, when the tourism dropped so did the need for all those rooms.
It makes me sad that we have so many homeless that could live there comfortably, and yet there it sits behind razorwire. It's not like Disney will EVER finish this project...
#5, #8:
Yeah, "urban exploration" is a real thing. Google it.

It's the lack of people. People ruin everything.
#7 - I ran across the Ryugyong following links on the Sinai Hotels post earlier this week. Now that's a big, creepy, empty building. I can't decide whether it's creeper than Prora (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prora) but they have somewhat parallel backstories--both of which make this WDW thing look pretty small potatoes.
My favourite urban ruins site: http://detroityes.com/home.htm
I love open doors, it does look newly abandoned.
These sites are some of my favorites for the urban explorer...
