After the Nickelodeon Studios video, you should look into the island Disney owns in the Bahamas. They built an adult oriented cruise destination resort in the late 1980's I believe, but a hurricane came through before they opened for business and they just abandoned the island entirely. I visited the island back in 2002. It was surreal. All of the buildings were still intact, there was an outdoor theater, several swimming pools and bars, but there was obvious damage and debris from the years of neglect. It was just like Jurassic Park, only without the velociraptors.

Live in SF and I've been there. It's not at all eerie unless you let it get to you. Sound carries REALLY well, so even when you think you're alone, you can hear tourists in other parts (the morgue is a good example. Its a small building outside the main cell block, but has a closed door to the cell block, so from outside you can hear "voices" in the morgue. It's people in the cell block).Some areas are too dangerous like the old textiles factory and power house. Other than that, you have free reign. Just remember it's federal land and not California state land, so the laws are slightly different (don't llitter. In California it's a minor infraction, on federal land its a misdemeanor)

Jake, you are so funny. I live close to San Francisco and have done the Alcatraz tour twice. They have an accompanying audio tour that you can listen to while walking around the grounds. It has been a number of years since my last visit, but I feel it is worth the trip to go once and definitely get the audio tour. You are ferried in, you walk uphill a bit until you reach the building. The uphill climb will be a bit difficult for mobility limited and people with breathing struggles. The air out there is generally cold and windy so wear layers. The ferries arrive every half hour or so on each end so your wait is not too long, but definitely make reservations. Tours are year round, but I do not know about holidays..The tours sell out in the high tourist months when the weather is better.. Sept-Oct. June and July months are not summer there. you can purchase tons of swag to take home in the city. San Francisco is unique and definitely worth a visit. one of these days, post corona isolation and the craziness involved, I will make my way to see your areas.

The Alcatraz tour is great and they let you explore on your own. At one point I ended up in a shower room under the main cell block I don't think was open to the public. It's a creepy place but it's basically pretty open. When I was there about 15 years ago they had some elderly people that served as guards and a prisoner to talk to people and take questions. I doubt they're still around though. It's also a bird sanctuary, with one block of the prison yard so covered with birds you couldn't take a step.

It is hard to imagine, after all of the nuanced historical narratives you give on failed Disney ventures, that you would give such short shrift to this iconic site. Not one mention of the Native American occupation? And in your reply to one of the comments you claimed you didn't even know why the "Indians Welcome" sign appeared in a photograph???? No mention of the other buildings or the big fire that destroyed the Warden's house. And dude, they are called "videos" because there is supposed to be a picture to go with the soundtrack.

I live in RI and there was a pretty popular theme park here called Rocky Point that closed in the early 90s. They have since turned the land into a park but for a really long time most of the structures were still standing and were left abandoned and I know a lot of people who used to break in and explore the food courts and some of the beach houses that were on the property. I haven't been to the area in a while so I'm not sure what's left but for a while it was super creepy! Also check out the Ladd School if you've never heard of it! Insanely creepy abandoned mental institution in RI that was charged with several medical malpractice lawsuits and has a ton of local rumors of being haunted. I think the Ladd School closed in the 90s as well. Basically everyone I know has broken in there at least once.

You pronounced Anglin correctly, as far as the last names of two of the three who actually escaped. I've been there and taken the tour. They made one hell of a tourist attraction out of this place. I would say it isn't too creepy, but maybe if someone gets scared easily they shouldn't take the tour alone. But even then, the place is usually packed with people (even just other tourists) so I don't see it being a problem for someone to visit and tour the island by themselves. In the '90s when I went, they would loan you a Walkman with a preloaded tape in it that allowed you to basically roam the area of the whole inside and out and the tape was pretty much your tour guide and helped you find your way around. I'm sure it's probably a bit updated now, but it's probably just about the same tour all over again if you've already been there once. I would still go again, but only because of how long it's been since I've been there last. The gift shop also has some really awesome things you can only buy there, like the book I bought called "Inside the Walls of Alcatraz" by Frank Heany (the youngest guard to ever serve at that prison). The book came autographed by the author and is a very interesting read about the day to day life that happened in there way back then. And truthfully, the conditions in the place weren't too bad (I can tell from the way it looked in areas that were meant to look just as they did when the prison was in operation, along with asking the people who worked there and even doing some research myself). I would have referred to it as tolerable for an old supermax (even though I've never been locked up). The only problem with the place was that it was thought to be escape proof, but that was proven wrong by Frank Lee Morris and John and Clarence Anglin since there still isn't much evidence as to what actually happened to them and they were never found (despite the amazing and sophisticated plan that they used just to get out of the building and out to the water).

I was there in August of ‘82 and took the tour. They filmed a Dirty Harry movie there too, with Tyne Daly.

Alcatraz is always a soft spot for me, after being fascinated by it ever since I was a kid in the 80s watching Escape From Alcatraz w Clint Eastwood. A bucket list item for sure, I finally got to tour it the summer of 2013. Soo unbelievably cool!! I even walked right into the solitary confinement cells with absolutely no fear. While on my tour, I never realized that there was an Occupation Of Alcatraz (hence all the visible Indian insignia/graffiti) in the late 60s early 70s and the actor Benjamin Bratt (when he was a child) was there with some family members. Truly fascinating.
