Disney's River Country  opened in 1976 and then closed in 2001. It was later abandoned and now  it's become one of the creepiest places on Earth. River  Country was Disney World’s first water park. It opened in Orlando,  Florida, in 1976 and officially closed its doors in 2005. #RIP. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> At its peak, River Country boasted four water slides, a sand-bottom lake, an white water rapids, and a tubing river. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  park was not without its problems: In 1980, an 11-year-old died from a  bacterial disease he picked up while swimming in the park’s lake. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> River  County was left to languish and deteriorate naturally for the last 11  years, and photographer Seph Lawless was able to gain access and shoot  some creepy but mega compelling photos of the park’s lost grandeur. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Next month marks the park’s 40th anniversary, and Lawless wanted to chronicle the once great park’s slow return to nature. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The images evoke an eerie, swampy, almost prehistoric vibe. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “Being  inside the abandoned park felt like a creepy real-life Disney ride,”  Lawless told of his visit to the abandoned park. “It was surreal and  really beautiful.” <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Here’s what a washed out waterslide looks like: <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The  waterslides were especially moving for Lawless. “They were completely  covered in vines and flowers. I think it was just about the most  beautiful thing I’ve ever witnessed on any project I’ve done.” <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> An faux waterfall stands empty now. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Somebody left a top hat in the middle of one of the park’s rope bridges. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Upstream Plunge Pool is covered with algae now. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> And now the park’s diving bridges and platforms are still. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_14.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> It’s hard to believe that at one time, this place was teeming with thousands of tourists. <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_15.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “I  think Disney World symbolizes an ugly side of capitalism in America,  and I think because of that some people would enjoy seeing it crumble to  the ground” <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_16.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> “I think that’s why I want people to see the beauty in these images above all else.” <img src="http://acidcow.com/pics/20160322/abandoned_disney_world_water_park_17.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
