Dec 26, 2010 - This place was awesome.  I miss it all the time. And the river water was actually really clear, there was white sand on the bottom and it was very clean. I miss the inner tube slide. I've never understood why they couldn't just close the place in and put pool water in instead. It's very sad to see this abandoned.

Dec 26, 2010 - I so miss River Country. Disney's first water park - it was the BEST place to have fun. Even when Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach came along, this place still was a TON of fun. You didn't have to worry about a gazillion people because the place wasn't as big as the other water parks. And if you stayed at Fort Wildnerness, all you did was hop on the campground transportation and you were there. So many memories. I miss it every time I visit Disney and see it there going to waste. Sad.

Sep 2, 2011 - how old is this video? (just curious)reminds me of a park I used to go to when I was little called "Heritage USA", which also closed down. I remember my mom saying she thought it'd stay open for years to come; [I was 3 at the time] and told her it was going to close down soon. She didn't believe me...until it happened.

Nov 25, 2011 - They must not have been able to find a way to theme it for the Princesses so they had to dump it.

Jan 17, 2012 - When River Country was closed down, it was never demolished. It still remains where it was, although the vegetation seems to have taken over.If anyone's interested. I found some neat photos taken of River Country just a few years ago here: disboards (dot) com (forward slash) show thread (dot) php? t (equals) 2344523
