If you believe the reason for not building it was property disputes with "locals" you are an idiot. Chinese people do own shit ... CCP if they want to can take any land for any reason and kick their residents on street if the do not burry them alive while demolishing their home anyway! What I see as a reason is that this park would bring piece of west into the China and that is a simple reason why not to build it.
Ryugyong Hotel, North Korea. Standing 330 meters high with 105 floors, this pyramid-shaped skyscraper was supposed to be a luxury hotel, but construction stopped in 1992 due to lack of funds. Since then, it has been periodically restarted and stopped again.

And to this day it's still standing empty. I believe the North Korean government put about 30% of its GDP into building it.
I love the idea to change old airport into an entertainment park.

I would like to make a correction, Tempelholfer wasn’t the only airport during the Berlin Airlift, Tegel was also used towards the end of the airlift. Fun fact: Tegel had the longest runway in Europe when it finished construction.

0:30 North of "Wonderland Amusement Park" are also three interesting structures that seem to be abandoned (see Google Earth History): A large circular building, a large park area and some kind of small town city center recreation. There is a fourth structure further north that looks like a race track / urban town recreation (probably a training ground).
Hello i just founded your Channel and these videos seems Awesome and interesting. I've heared about that Japan abandoned Hashima island, its so mystic and interesting with full of mystery and History. I Am huge Japan fan and Japanese mysteries are truly amazing. Its sad The whole islands and Cities was Been abandoned after its long Life, i can see all The Japanese peoples and Their Life in that island. 🇯🇵

Am i the only one that feels activision took a large amount of inspiration from hashima island in warzone. The original warzone rebirth map, obviously its very different but key points of interest and the general shape make me feel they designed it while looking at a picture of hashima. Mainly the far points of the island. the tin building in the middle of an empty parking lot on one end, a tall building with a small extension on the back at the other. The hills and the buildings lining the coast. Id bet money they rebuilt and changed it for the game
You could also add the Khazar Islands. It's abandoned megaproject and artificial islands in south of Baku, Azerbaijan consisting of 41 islands extending 3,000 hectares into the Caspian Sea.
nice video, me is like very much
The Memphis Pyramid had a rocky history but seems to have ended up a success story in the end-although being a massive Bass Pro Shop hardly matches the grand inspiration behind the original conception of the project.

Maybe it's just me, but the non-abandoned Memphis pyramid doesn't seem to belong in a list of abandoned projects - since it's.... y'know.... not abandoned.

I can't believe that the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea didn't make the list. Its story is pretty interesting in itself.
If you ask me, Places like Hashima Island hsa to be preserved, if we ignore all evil, evil will grow, its important to remember what road lead where.
The Memphis Pyramid even became a regular visit from Dude Perfect.
Well I am actually surprised that the movie Skyfall isn´t mentioned in the bit with Hashima Island.

Hashima Island, is probably better known by the name Gunkanjima, which means battleship island due to its resemblance to one at certain angles. Supposedly it was torpedoed by a US submarine in World War 2 because of the way it looked,

Growing up in Memphis, I remember seeing Power Rangers Live in the Pyramid. If I recall the pyramid itself is sinking very slowly due to the river bluff, which is why the amusement park could never exist there.
I like how the banner in the video calls the channel "Top Luxury" and neither word is in the channel's name.

How are these places abandoned when they mostly all are officially open tourist sites or actually a neighborhood on land for the first one with a castle behind it (forgot to mention what it is today).

uhhhhh what is your definition of abandoned because clearly the majority of these project sites are still in use.
this video confused me some were some weren't abandoned and hoshima was just a mine that developed over time there are many more of such islands still in use i wouldn't call it a megaproject
