Exploring the $200,000,000 Abandoned Disney Castle Village (530 Castles) 

Oh hell yah

That would be amazing

oh hell yea

This is sooo true. Playing there would be a whole new experience

that would be so fun

I’m really happy for you man!

Brother......Know you are not the only one. I spent most of my life institutionalized, in group homes, gangs, alcoholic, drugs, etc, I was abused among many other things as a kid and never got a chance to do anything different. Ive been sober 4 years now, out of the system 14 years. But didnt get out of trouble until about 8 years ago. Im 38 and have never done anything different. I have never traveled to different countries. But just seeing and watching my children grow has been an emmense change for me. Im a single father doing everything sober now. There is alot of clarity, and you dont know what your missing until you really start living. I though jail or death was going to be it for me. Then I woke up and realize it doesnt need to be that way. We are truly cut from a different cloth. I want to make sure the second part of my life is 10x better than the first half. Good job brother. 👍⚔

@@Thekoryostribalpodcast thats AWESOME keep it up brotha!! being clean is an amazing gift!!

Awesome, awesome!

So long

I like to imagine it would be a horror movie

@@poopyfingers8884 I imagine it'll be directed by Michael Bay.

Bingo - same vibes here... I see it as a faux-luxury version remake of "The Prisoner" with a dash of "Twilight Zone". Everything the same, everything bling and banal. No reality. No escape.

I first saw this place being used in a music video setting - Fractions of Infinty by Quadeca. I think it fits the song rly well and looks beautiful in it

Its got a hyperreal, nightmare vibe to it, right? Like it almost feels like a forgotten VR project than a real place.... a simulation of a housing estate, where each home is a simulation of a fictional castle which, itself, is a simulation of a real castle which *itself* was a 19th century romantic reimagination of a castle!

If you're implying using these places for the homeless, it's infeasible. This place has no infrastructure, is not part of the city development plans, actually occupies forestry which should not get any construction permit. Poor people here will only become miserable.

@@tekinsal8396 He's talking about the money wasted

@@DSN262 no, he's talking about abandoned places. and the money is not wasted, it's private money, those rich people will always spend it for themselves one way or another.

@@tekinsal8396 I have to disagree. I believe they're talking about the extreme wastefulness by a group of investors and construction companies trying to cater to the rich and it ending up like this, while some people have nothing.

Good management of resources is too rare nowadays 😪

That is so exciting to imagine but archaeologists make conclusions not only from the buildings but also the things found there 😊

The Question is will the world still exist then .

Hahahahaha

And they find a copy of game of thrones book xD

well it's impossible because we have documents that attest that nobody lived there + no artefacts or human remains etc

@Depzy_ Seek Discomfort!

That was cringe, no hate.

i’m surprised olaf didn’t make an appearance

Um. Cringe warning

@@minton7437 I love cringe

Why do I see this same comment all over the place? Is this a bot that thinks it’s 75 if so ai is pretty stupid still and if it’s really someone quit commenting and go outside already

​@@brainattackmaniackI'm 71 in a couple of weeks, not a bot.

Not nothing, the building are there

@@sorvex9 True, at least some people have gotten something out of it like this video, but they are nowhere near being as utilised as they should have been. It's a shame.

They have successfully laundered 200 M bucks and the tax payer carries the shit can - how is this not successful?

yea noone couldve thought the layout was ok or that anyone would buy one. there is no planning whatsoever for integration to the land or amenities for future owners. It seems to be a massive money laundering scheme.

Yess I enjoy watching those shots!!

This might be the most misconceived construction project I’ve ever seen. You’re right, they should have been constructed one at a time rather than trying to build them all at once, and now that they‘ve been exposed to the elements for years, I imagine they're completely useless. Also, the proximity may have been excusable if they were lined up next to a river, or next to the ocean, but instead they’re only next to each other. With… a shopping mall!?! Is that the main attraction!?!

Yeah it smells like a scam....I don't think anyone would jump into 500 houses without 1 buyer..they should've started out with 50

@@calfowler6838 probably government officials diverting funds from a project that was never intended to be completed...

They did this to clean money. Think about it. It’s in Turkey. You pay construction company you own and they have to produce stuff so it doesn’t raise red flags

China ghost cities

Way to go bro

i’m on my way there now

Hmmm thats good to know *books flight ticket*

Omg??????

*checking flight tickets to turkey*

trueeee

True

I was just thinkin the xact same

Guys thank you so much! I can’t even tell how much it means to me ❤️

I showed this comment to Ata and he got really emotional thank you 🥺✌🏼

LMAO YES

LITERALLY

HAHAHA TRUE

Albeit more heartbreaking coz a lot more than just thrill & adrenaline; blood, sweat & fortunes went into this. Arg, it just makes my heart sink! 🥺💔💷

lmaoooo

@@ishouldbeonmountrushmore1334 Alex, the Bible says " The fool has said in his heart "There is no God."

It is not possible to make each of 530 castles to look unique and different. And it will also drive the price crazy high.

theres a corporate catch to every corporate project, learn that

Copy and Paste. The cheapest way to build.

Yeah they're so close, it's sort of crowded. Would've been cool if each castle at least had space for a yard

@Terrain it’s short for specifications

Imagine all the people in the building’s are the same. That would be even creepier.

That happens a lot in such kind of park projects.

Could be one reason why this venture failed. Extravagant houses and yet mundane due to them all looking the same.

They'll think all those Disney fairy tale stories were probably true lol.

It will be a new wonder of the world

they’ll know about it bc we literally have internet and it’s not undiscovered

@@raphaxlgo he said 100 years wich mean almost everyone that knows about it will die sooo it’s will be a wonder

@@dragonfistace1989 yeah but we dont live in the stone ages where someone needs to tell you themselves 1.) we literally have the internet 2.) this video literally exists 3.) the first ones who know about this place arent the only ones who are gonna know this place. people wont forget about this place like a lost civilization, records about it are in the palm of our hands 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Marlon Mårlöv Hagel Haha, then it could be mine right

This is good hahah! This is my housing placement in a nutshell, not to mention building extra houses when reaching the population cap.

except tourists would end up making it a mess

@@ibrahimmian6085 Yeah Tourists like destroying things

@@ibrahimmian6085 Yeah, tourism never makes money. You could never afford to clean the place up, look at all the other tourist destinations in the world, all filth.

"if they spent 1000000000000000000000000 usd this place would be kinda...." kinda what? You got 10000000000 usd spare to rent a castle in the middle of fucking nowhere? In TURKEY??? That country is a shithole. What are you supposed to do there anyway? Admire your "castle"? Makes no sense. No wonder it was abandoned.

@@Phiwell123 he was being sarcastic, sherlock.

It’s almost as crazy dumb as wearing a mask and testing people for the flu.

Probably to save taxes.

Bankruptcy at peak

Probably not by choice, it probably caught up in highly complex legal procedures, further slowed by the levels of corruption in Turkey.

Built them slowly as they were bought? But nooooo build them all right away.

I thought same

Then they also would have had the space to actually make this feel luxurious.

@@lucbloom you mean instead of making it look cheap and cookie cutter?

@@marthahawkinson-michau9611 Yes. The duplication makes it feel laughable, not luxurious. But also the lack of space between the castles. A castle needs grounds and a driveway :-)

It's more crazy no one decided to take the project on after they were half built

@@iancarter5217 its harder to finish someone else's work when you didnt know what they were going for, it will cost even more for someone to finish it now then it would have for the original builder to finish it.

The company actually went bankrupt due to the real estate crisis in Turkey

@@madhavdaga thanks for that I was wondering how a company could so incorrectly measure costs

@Turd Ferguson why would anybody in his right mind want to buy or rent a house that looks excactly like all the other houses in a "village" where everything looks the same? what a fucking stupid idea to even build this.

True, China alone has a ton of places like this

Turkey is more of a closed society, although free to an extent, and I’m sure this project embarrasses them and so it’s not advertised.

Working in cold weather too for hours up on hours

@@JAY59760 they coulda worked during spring or summer

They got paid for it. Well hopefully.

@@Batman-cq6ee obviously, I dont know what that comment even means obviously they were working all the time

it was pretty awesome!

Why you can't travel? Buy a tickey and let's goo dude there's nothing that stops you

@@a.m.gamboaffl846 perhaps his disability means he can't go to abandoned places that aren't safe? Obviously, he could go to some places but maybe others aren't accessible.

U cap breh

Wish they started small and expanded later. Instead of going too big all at once

@Franky Valley godamn

I’ve never seen someone with the same pfp as me omg

Thats so cool! What do you feel is the best place you have lived in? How long in every country? As well, have you lived in Hawaii?

@@matanyaholmes3964 Hawaii is where my family is, Maui… Kauai is more lush but it’s the most rain on the planet. Fact. Hawaii is very racist, most I’ve seen in the USA. But on the other hand everybody laughs at everybody. Very expensive. Don’t go to live in Hawaii thinking you’ll change you won’t. It’s where arrogance and ignorance meet😂🤣😂 Tahiti is much much nicer than Hawaii. More beautiful more friendly and more expensive, but you can live like a local. It’s French Polynesian. One of my favorites. Mo’oRea. Go work on a pearl farm. The police are called gendarmes, friendlier than American police. My other most favorite is Japan. Clean, very clean. Polite very polite expensive very expensive, just don’t eat steak. New Delhi India 6 months, not my favorite, sad really,but beautiful Philippines. I went to school there. Australia. 41/2 years worked on a visa, important job got my masters Guatemala 11/2 years Panama 6 mos. Paris 2 years London 2 years Egypt 6 mos ( my sister and husband) lived there Dubai 6 months ( sister and husband lived there Saudi Iran Germany 6 months Rome 6 months Palau Saipan Guam born there Hence Micronesian islands New Zealand 6 mos Japan 1 year Singapore Okinawa Hong Kong Greece 1 year Lebanon Syria Nicaragua El Salvador Costa Rica Mexico City….. not the best part of Mexico Brazil, Recife 6 months Argentina Caracas Venezuela 1 year Curaçao Port of Spain US Virgin Islands beautiful shithole 1 year Dominican Republic St CROIX another beautiful shithole Puerto Rico. Beautiful, love the people ( lock everything up)I love Puerto Ricans There’s more….. travel is the best education. Better than a degree. Better than a masters or PhD unless you want to be a doctor or lawyer. Learn a trade you can travel with, hair dresser or barber or cook Your tools are light and you can work under the table discreetly for donations. 😁most of my travels and work was business Chile…. Nice was very corrupt and dangerous curfews weird nazi community, Argentina too. Real nazi w2 nazis migrated to America, Argentina, Chile. Hitler didn’t die in Germany 😳he died in Argentina not so long ago. That’s enough for now. A lot of true history is coming available more and more. Good luck

@@bettymagpali5079 thank you great read

@@bettymagpali5079 As a person who loves traveling and also plans to travel a lot in the future, this was inspiring. My favorite things to do are learning languages, being exposed to cultures and traveling to a lot of places.

Ikrrr

The girl is actually pretty cute 🥰

@@TheBaBaTV That's not the point of the comment. That town was supposedly made for the wealthy to live in houses which look "luxurious" but having all the houses be a copy-paste of each other defeats that entire purpose.

@@PCVP4729 Yes. That and having no privacy or garden to enjoy.

“When everyone’s super, no one will be”

And every castle looks exactly the same as the rest.

Unless, your neighbours are also your friends! :)

A different channel I watch was there last summer and there were security guards there. They had to sneak in through the woods to see inside. Looks like it's not guarded during the winter.

Turkuz biz bise olmass

Yeah where i live, they strip buildings if they are abandoned for long. This is really a waste man

Well when the SHTF I know where I’m going

true😁

this is so cool!!! see, it's all about the mentality and how you think sometimes :) How did the interview go? best of luck!

I hope you get the job bro!

Nice try getting that 100$ voucher

Good luck with the job and CONGRATULATIONS on your new job!!!!

YESSSS I just watched the one that wasn't and it is so pretty

on acid

That would be the start of a fantasy movie

Imagine they're still standing 1000 years from now and the development records are lost and story hasn't been passed down and then some came across and wondered what life was link in 2021.

The butterfly effect in action

Yeah, if Disney princesses lived in castle suburbs with every identical castle touching the other.

nah mate, no christmas in Turkey lol

I Know, but my turkish boyfriend dident know too. A few weeks ago, these houses where even on the danish news. Thought that was weird, since they are in no way a news.

Please stop killing Kurds in Rojava, they have been asking for peace since before the operation Oliva branch

@@williamvalmadre556 I think you need to ask the goverment for that, not a danish girl in Turkey.

She never said that is a female or Danish. I am asking both to her and to the Government, we also have to change things in the bottom, not only the roof.

@@williamvalmadre556 Im a half Alevi Kurd in Turkey just pls stop talking shit like that, many Kurds in Turkey support that and unfortunately voting this goverment. Also why are you attacking a normal citizen is he killing Kurds ? or should i write under every American comment stop sending bombs?

oooooor he'll get those castles finished and sells them for 1$ each :D

Or just invest in a housing community for the refugees *But...ohoho, how about a large Airsoft match?*

Well have lived in Turkey for 6 years and never heard of when I was there . It's just lately I have started watching more videos about them . I think the company itself or the people in charge decided to do .maybe to get a sponsor to continue the project. Because I have watched different videos in different languages about it .

West of Istanbul, you can see it on the highway to Edirne.

Ok so turns out these are different ones, but now I’m losing my mind cus I swear I saw the same ones on the way from edirne to Istanbul and I can’t find them.

This was all over the news a few years back.

Paradise

No

Ja Rule is like "I'm listening" 🤔

Till you're wasted trying to find YOUR home

What a stupid idea. How about just living in them?

It usually costs more to take over a project like this, than to build it from scratch

@@Jay-yy7uk depends honestly it’s all concrete and stone and has held up much better than most construction would

I mean it’s kinda ugly and repetitive I think they went bankrupt for a reason

@@Tejvir7 No one asked for the hostility. As shown below, you can see others explaining why without finding the need to insult the original commenter. But if you want to be an ass, a simple review of the property shows it's actually quite massive; it's to the point where the government should, if they cared or could afford it, bulldoze it to make way for other businesses. There's also the idea of turning some into homeless shelters but the support for the poor is apparently nonexistent in this country. All I'm saying is that a reconsideration of the property is not a stupid thought to have.

@@Tejvir7 neither are you, not even that bad of an idea, that’s some cheap ass land

Like Dubai

I was literally JUST THINKING THAT omg

Its too late I think. It would be cheaper to build a new site than to buy this one and renovate/fix all of the damage.

@@phosfine7793 Yeah probably. The bank has likely included all the buildings in their price and hiked it up so it wouldn't be worth it. Pity if that's the case
