They opened Animal Kingdom

Oh man, this place was so much fun to go to on days that the family was too tired to go to the actual parks. Hah, but seriously, I used to love this place as a kid. However, if you've seen it now, after it's been closed for 10 years, it looks pretty ominous. My opinion, they should refurb it, and re-open it as a LOST themed island, with the hatch, the others' village, survivors camp, the lotus, etc. Anyone else think that would be cool?

has everyone seen the ruins of this place and river country?? some people snuck across a few years back and took some photos of both as they are today, all rotting and creepy. search on a search engine, its quite interesting.

It was closed because of the bacteria found that could kill a human. However i think that something terrible happened like in mowgli's palace.

[SonicChaocc]

I wish it was true. If a murder actually caused the island to close down, then that'd be more interesting.

[Ryan Kirkpatrick]

who else got here from the creepypasta?

[MichaelRSmale]

There's a lot of speculation, but if you know about Mowgli's Palace and what happened there, that's a good start.
