BoddaH1994 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Treasure Island is one of only a few true blunders that Disney has had in the theme park/resort industry. They built it and quickly abandoned it. Someone posted a link to this article on CB and I thought I'd share it with you guys. The one thing I really wanted to see during my stay was the abandoned "Treasure Island" resort that Disney built in Baker's Bay. Known to the locals as the only "Ghost Town" in the Abacos, it used to be a major tourist attraction. Disney's huge cruise liners would actually stop near the island to drop people off for a day o' fun. But being the brilliant masterminds that they are, Disney failed to do their research about the area before they invested over 30 million dollars in the place. http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/disney-blunder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbfan Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Wow, very interesting read. I know Carnival has an island similar to this, but they use it! I have only heard about it, I have never actually been to it or seen it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
