This is off hwy 192 , just put 3000 Formosa Gardens Blvd. in your GPS ... it is 75 acres and is listed for sale (last years price) at $30M ... they would probably take a LOT less.
this is awesome! where did you guys park and what time did you go to avoid security?? Its crazy to think how dilapidated it can get in just a few years
This is such an interesting story on so many levels. The Chinese government could never figure out why no one wanted to come to this park in Orlando when millions of people flocked to their similar park in China every year. They'd send acrobats & entertainers to work there, and so many of them defected that they bought a nearby motel for the employees to live. (and be easier to watch) About once a year, the Chinese would fire the manager and ship in someone new to try and turn it around.
This is inc readably sad my family and I visited in 1999 or 2000, they sad it was their last week, it was a little rundown then but still beautiful, it was a great day out so peaceful and tranquil. I can not believe the security was so bad that the Vandals got in - shame on them. What kind of scum would do this. I think the burned down building was another café it was so nice there with loads of carp in the pond surrounding the building
I was there on 5/3/2011. The place is gated and no trespassing signs everywhere. I went to each gate hoping someone was there and would let me in. I'm not a fan of trespassing so I just walked around and took pictures from outside the fence. Still alot there to see.
Went here today with my roommate, walked around for 20 minutes until the security guard caught us. He took our pictures and names and told us not to come back again, and to tell anyone else the same thing. I'd recommend going here if you've never been, it's pretty awesome. The worst thing that can happen is the guard will catch you and take your picture and name. However, since I've been caught, there is NO way I'm going back. He said repeat offenders WILL be arrested.
Damn, thanks for making this. I've been looking all over the place for a video of what remains of the park. But...the amount of dirt on your lens bothers me, haha.
@ 8:29, I remember going to the show there when my Elementary School got robbed by the Treasurer, and they gave all the students a free show to watch. It was some kind of Acrobatic show here. Only been there once. Amazed to still see so much of it around, remember when it closed all those years back. Certainly don't remember the fire, but I do recall this place shows up on he news every now and then for some reason.
I dont understand WHY Floridas polices or patrol do nothing to stop that skateborders vandalism, that is so sad, but maybe in the future could be a better place like a shelter for those skateborders, just a joke
I see they actually went so far as to remove the steps, which I guess was to keep you from skateboarding over it. I've never seen anyone actually bust up steps before so you couldn't skate over them!!
You guys were funny as hell here! Would've been fun to check the grounds out with you two! I thoroughly enjoy your video's of these former attractions because I've been to ALL the places you've video taped and its great seeing the aftermath. Sad but still good to see again, even if it's in shambles now.
I wish someone could have videotaped Six Gun Territory after it closed in the mid 80's. That would have been great to see as well. Now it's just a damn plaza with woods behind it :(
been there a few times at night... if yall go to the auditorium, upstairs, lemme know if you ever hear a crying girl. something funky going on around there.
I went there at night once. Went in the back gate and made it as far as the great wall. I freaked out and left after I saw something on 4 legs running.
Ok - found it - if you haven't already seen this video shot last year, you should take a look - very fun - it's titled: Splendid China Florida Gets Torn Down - HD - Part 2
We TOTALLY need to shoot a scripted movie here! I loved this place when it was open... wish you had gone to the tomb section. Nice you added image of original waterfall. Would be freaking awesome if the minatures were still there (besides legs) but would have been defaced like the walls. What can you expect ... some were funny... a shame the paintings were damaged. Incredible shot climbing the statue! (I walked the great wall when the place was open & almost got thrown out) now I'm jealous...
I was here over 10 years ago. Adam did you see the stone army people?
