Biggest Abandoned Megaprojects in the World

Which of these megaprojects is the most interesting? Do you know similar projects?😌👇

@Top_Luxury 11:15 .... no, Kings Park in Perth, Western Australia is bigger at 400 hectares

[@T3RS1]

If you believe the reason for not building it was property disputes with "locals" you are an idiot. Chinese people do own shit ... CCP if they want to can take any land for any reason and kick their residents on street if the do not burry them alive while demolishing their home anyway! What I see as a reason is that this park would bring piece of west into the China and that is a simple reason why not to build it.

Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea. Standing 330 meters high with 105 floors, this pyramid-shaped skyscraper was supposed to be a luxury hotel, but construction stopped in 1992 due to lack of funds. Since then, it has been periodically restarted and stopped again.

[@dx1450]

And to this day it's still standing empty. I believe the North Korean government put about 30% of its GDP into building it.

It’s a shame the building allowed commercial signage on it’s exterior. It’s a blight. The signage could have been keep at ground level. It ruins what could have been a landmark building.

@@Peeta-wn4hh You'd think Bass Pro Shops would be aware. Glad to see the building being successfully used, but the sign ruins the art of it.

[@alm5992]

A Bass Pro Shop Pyramid lol! Also, the base of that Wonderland Castle looks like a German flak tower from WW2.

[@MaoZedongCatMapping]

I would like to make a correction, Tempelholfer wasn’t the only airport during the Berlin Airlift, Tegel was also used towards the end of the airlift. Fun fact: Tegel had the longest runway in Europe when it finished construction.

[@remokelm1838]

Tempelholfer?

[@alexdaley7616]

Fun Fact: The Berlin Airlift is not mentioned in this video. That means you're correcting something that wasn't wrong in the first place.

[@mosura.rmnv.]

You could also add the Khazar Islands. It's abandoned megaproject and artificial islands in south of Baku, Azerbaijan consisting of 41 islands extending 3,000 hectares into the Caspian Sea.

As a venezuelan, allow me a small correction. The strong syllable in Caracas is the second one, not the last one. It's pronounced ca-RA-cas, not cara-CAS.

Hi

[@thelastperfectman4139]

The Memphis Pyramid had a rocky history but seems to have ended up a success story in the end-although being a massive Bass Pro Shop hardly matches the grand inspiration behind the original conception of the project.

You should include Mirabel airport in Canada in your future videos. A huge investment to serve the city of Montreal. Airport was closed 20 years after inauguration.

[@drewpeacock2762]

Am i the only one that feels activision took a large amount of inspiration from hashima island in warzone. The original warzone rebirth map, obviously its very different but key points of interest and the general shape make me feel they designed it while looking at a picture of hashima. Mainly the far points of the island. the tin building in the middle of an empty parking lot on one end, a tall building with a small extension on the back at the other. The hills and the buildings lining the coast. Id bet money they rebuilt and changed it for the game

[@TheTuubster]

0:30 North of "Wonderland Amusement Park" are also three interesting structures that seem to be abandoned (see Google Earth History): A large circular building, a large park area and some kind of small town city center recreation. There is a fourth structure further north that looks like a race track / urban town recreation (probably a training ground).

[@larrywalsh9939]

Maybe it's just me, but the non-abandoned Memphis pyramid doesn't seem to belong in a list of abandoned projects - since it's.... y'know.... not abandoned.

Not going to mention the fact that Hashima Island was used as a filming location for the movie Skyfall?

[@QTG128]

i think they made a movie about the life of forced labor in Hashima Island. it's called Battleship Island iirc. although it is not a 100% accurate, but it does show the harsh environment that the workers endured

[@niels25chr1]

Well I am actually surprised that the movie Skyfall isn´t mentioned in the bit with Hashima Island.

[@deu8894]

The pyramid in Memphis TN shouldn't be on the list since it's no longer abandoned.

Growing up in Memphis, I remember seeing Power Rangers Live in the Pyramid. If I recall the pyramid itself is sinking very slowly due to the river bluff, which is why the amusement park could never exist there.
