River Country????

Does River Country still exist? On the official site it says Disney have 2 water parks but River Country is the one our group want to visit!

River Country has been closed for 2002 and is so until until further notice.

Just wondered, have Disney started to redevelop the area that River country used to fill? I never did make it there

No plans yet, i found these pics elsewhere, it looks on a right state

An obvious shame to see it in a state like that

The reason for it closing was the fact that Bay lake and Seven Seas Lagoon which is where River Country got most of its water from got contaminated with Bacteria and this flowed into the RC system.

Oh[:O]How sad do those pics look? Thank-you for posting them! Lets hope Disney come up with some real blinder to add to their other great parks

Hope they don't leave it too long, I hate the thought that anything like that is just left to rot.

Didn't go to RC until about our third trip to Florida, we had alovely day there and returned again on our next trip. Sad to see whats become of it[msnsad]

Disney announced on 20/01/05 that RC will be permanantly closed. Shame we never got there but it sounded good.[msnsad]

We didn't get to go there either Liz, as we used to Go to Florida for the halloween break, RC always seemed to be closed for refurb when we were there, then when we swapped to Easter a few years ago it was closed completely!! I am surprised it has been so long though now, without them bulldozing and coming up with some new attraction park, I am sure Disney will give us something to look forward to in time[msnwink]
