Come take a tour through the most surreal location I have ever witnessed. Filled with tennis courts, 18 loft buildings, one 6 story condo tower complete with penthouses, & a massive restaurant and pool complex. All completely abandoned and untouched. Take a look at what The Colony, left in 2010, looks like today.

In 1990, in conjunction with the opening of Universal Studios Orlando, Nickelodeon Studios had officially opened to the public. But it's purpose as the new headquarters for the Nickelodeon network, where all future shows like Double Dare, Kenan & Kel, Slime Time live and so many more would be filmed, was quickly becoming unprofitable. Despite it being a popular attraction within the theme park, the studios closed and were left completely abandoned. Join me today as I take a look at what happened to this deeply beloved studio/attraction, and what ultimately happened to it's iconic facade.

Among all of the victims of the 2009 global financial crisis, there is one property still struggling to find luck in our modern times. The once named Xanadu Mall (now called American Dream) had eaten through billions of dollars, sat abandoned for years and even today is not fully open. Did I mention it's been under construction outside of New York City for over 20 years? Let's take a look at the infamous and morbidly ambitious, American Dream Shopping & Entertainment Complex.

After 2 failed attempts we finally gain access to an abandoned nudist camp. This place was by far one of the most surreal and amazing places as it was so untouched. The property is likely to be in purgatory as the owner passed away in 2006. There is basically no vandalization and everything is left as it was. Unfortunately the cold made it difficult to film. We'll be back.
