That looked like a cool place!!! We LOVE North Carolina! We are probably going to move there in the future!! very nice explore! Thanks for taking us along!!! LOVED IT!!! :)
I went here back in the day with my buddies back in the 90s. We used to drink some beers and then hit the carts! Good times! The place was well kept too.
Very interesting but could have been better if you’d included some photos or even video footage of the park before it closed down. Someone walking around and narrating over the video is fine but actual footage of the park in action would have really upped the effect of your video. You managed to use clips from the original Jaws movie in your tour of the placed where scenes were shot which really did increase my enjoyment factor (I was born in 1995 and only saw the original Jaws a long time after it was released…. I’m a certified scuba diver so it obviously didn’t make me “afraid to go in the water”! 🤣).
I hear ya.. I didn’t see very much as far as that goes for this place but I’ll keep that in mind for places like this in the future. I do have some ideas for other “then and now” productions. Glad you enjoyed the JAWS video. Lolll as do I and did I.. I got over my fear pretty quickly but it’s always there in the back of my mind.. when I’m in the ocean of course lol not the pool. Anyhow, thanks a lot for the constructive feedback.
I really enjoy watching videos of abandoned places. Just last night I was watching a video of a guy who snuck inside of the Pontiac Silverdome and filmed the abandoned structure. Thanks for going to this location and sharing the footage for all of us to see. Nick P your videos are absolutely fascinating. That is because you are a fascinating man. Oh by the way, I really enjoyed your Halloween filming location of Pioneer Cemetery in Sierra Madre. Great narration. I posted a comment.
Thanks a lot Nathanial!! That’s an awesome explore.. It really is fascinating to experience abandoned places in their current forms. It’s hard to put it into words but you know when you’re there or watching. Cali is simply beautiful. I have some places circled on the map that I’ve yet to visit.
That must have been a blast back in the day go kart track plus that big bumper boat area you made a great point what you see is what you get and you can see it all from the road or a distance no need to go in and break laws i would be on that track to there is a race car driver in all of us
Thanks a lot bud.. Exactly.. though I was a little tempted to be stupid haha. In the end, no real point to going in there to see what is basically all visible from the fence.
Omg I am way behind on watching videos. Well high there Nick! To bad for the amusement park. Why not sell it if it is going to sit there in ruins. That is weird how it was set up... Thanks for sharing Urban Exploration fun stuff. Thanks! Keep spinning and winning....🥂🍾🥳
Mother Nature sure doesn’t waste any time. Prob for the best. We drove by that place in June 2020. It was my first trip to the Outer Banks and I remember at the time wondering why that was allowed to just stay there looking like that? Especially since it’s *right* along that main road? And such a large piece of property. Feels sad. Maybe it’s the New Yorker in me talking but when you said the owners have been offered a good amount of money to sell and refused?! Huh? I’m surprised they’re allowed to “refuse” considering the derelict & abandoned condition of the property. And the fact that it’s zoned commercially. I wonder if the town is unable to take a stand on that legally?
That was our first trip there as well. Yes, wondered the same thing ha. The owner found a loop hole to abide by the law but the town is not happy about it, as you would think. It’s kind of cool to check out and reminisce but to leave in this condition for an extended period of time doesn’t make sense.
Hey my grandfather has had a house a few blocks from the park since 1975 and I have some answers for you. I spent my summers in obx. The reason the it's on two sides of the street is because there was not nearly the amount of people there back then. And yes there was a bridge across the street. The set of stairs was a bungee jumping platform. The lake thing on the sound side was for a speed boat track like go carts. The owner was a Greek guy and built a house on the sound side and when he passed away the son got everything and shut the park down because he's loaded and didn't want to deal with it. Dare county made him take the bridge down because bigger boats were getting towed through there. Any more questions I can probably find the answer to
hmmm land development make a nice place to LOT out to them that pass away, on one side of the main street and then retire here homes on the other side re decor the back ground for their view // there is so much land and not many folks and lack of business venture vision there be less that want to do more with land not used // tower turn into an Ad poster location solar panel it and add a power genny to the location // i do not know why a graveyard is the first thought i do not get a condo here feel from either side of the main street locations. ./ as long as they pay their property taxes, and use less services, they are paying their fair share and Good for them as property owners thanks for the upload,
8:55// myop quote Apocalypse Now 'never get out of the boat' or in this case study, never hop the fence. FD: when i was in grade 7 i used to go under the fence fence was higher than me and i was lazy about going over sharp objects, men should know better methods i was tunneling before it became a border method or even before the hamas started using it go under the fence not over, but not over in this case... if u were to have gotten in, hurt, then whom would have sent this Upload? 'This is not Nam, there r rules here' Walter S knew what he was saying in the Big Lebowski // stay safe and never get out of the boat
@@NickP ditto // without checking first i think the word, 'absolutely' is in there too // myop (i know these videos r old) when u Can (film), try using movie quotes from your past Loves and experiences from films that remind of where u are and filming like in the case of 'i'm Not Going, I'm Not Going' also from A Now, but not really a good context with this fence line question // never get out of the boat, seems more suited for the 'hop the fence and maybe get killed by the unseen rt now nut bar that stalks his late relative's property - just because his family pays the taxes, the relative wanders and never leaves but to shop. lol its america, whom can say who is relative to the land more than to people? u stay behind the fences cuts lead to bleed and need for a shot of vaccine for anti rust infection and there be a lot of rusty nails (its a drink) on the other side of that fence line LOL // God Bless // some folks will shoot down a drone camera that lingers over their vacant lots just saying... lolol
@@NickP i feel Blessed to be alive while my role model characters' actors still remain with. // martin sheen was just on some interview zoom talking about how Robert D did his scenes, with all the confinements put on the production with the limited # of copters/so rehearsals were done on the ground with the Blades turning and some local GUY paid to swing a stick and hit any actor/staff that might get too close to the end of the blades (tail). even after all the decades since Martin S drops another dime on something no one else ever brought up. 'never get out of the copter and head back wind toward the blade (during rehearsal) because if the blade dont kill u, the GUY with the whipping stick sure will sting u' (paraphrasing his words from interview i do not recall whom it was with )
