Disney’s River Country
In 1976, Disney built River Country in Bay Lake, Florida. While many of Disney’s parks are some of the most popular destinations in the world, that wasn’t the case for River Country. When Disney opened up Typhoon Lagoon, River Country’s attendance significantly dropped and was closed for good by 2005. Disney announced that its lot would be turned into a hotel.

Athens Olympic Venues
Athens hosted the Summer Olympic Games in 2004, and thus many stadiums were built to accommodate the games, costing the city $160 million. After the Olympics ended, these venues were not repurposed, though the government wanted to turn them into housing. However, much of the venues ended up completely abandoned.
