I was thinking the exact same thing. If you look at the ads at the top of the page they are very dated. I remember them from 5 or 6 years ago. I guess this page was forgotten. It's like a time capsule.

I still miss the park though.

I have never been to River Country, though I remember it being open, but I have heard a lot about the White Water Rapids!

The map was the primary reason I posted the link because it's a great find for someone who collects Disney maps, or just wanting a piece of childhood.



I'm glad everyone is enjoying this unique find!

Ha! That's amazing! I'm surprised that this page is still around. Sadly, I never made it over to River Country, but I just love this kinda stuff!

Re: Disney's River Country SECRET!

I did visit River Country and wish it was still opened.. but I remember being cautious because most pools and slide dropoff were deep, and you had to know how to swim to enjoy some of those offerings.

Still I miss this and the Island as well. It's a part of classic WDW we'll never get back it seems.

Re: Disney's River Country SECRET!

hey, if you visit Live Maps, you can see some of the remains of River Country and Discovery Island.

Here's a satellite view of River Country (north of W Wilderness Way):

Here's a bird's eye view of River Country (explore with zoom and rotate buttons, on left):

Here's a satellite view of Discovery Island:

The places are really overgrown and run-down but it's still cool to look at them.
For Discovery Island, you got to explore a little to actually see some of the old buildings and any signs of previous civilization.
