The park was known for its dangerous and sometimes deadly attractions, which included a wave pool with unpredictable waves, a ski slope with poorly maintained equipment, and a looping waterslide that often resulted in injuries. Despite these hazards, Action Park continued to attract thrill-seekers from all over the country, becoming a cultural icon of the 1980s. The park's lack of safety measures, combined with inexperienced and untrained staff, led to numerous accidents and several fatalities. Despite the risks, the park remained popular, and its wild reputation only seemed to add to its allure. Despite its dangerous reputation, Action Park has a cult following and is remembered by many as a symbol of an era of fearless, no-holds-barred fun. The park's legacy has been the subject of numerous articles, documentaries, and even a book, and its name is still synonymous with dangerous, unregulated amusement park attractions. While the park may have been infamous for its danger, for those who experienced it, Action Park will always be remembered as a place where anything was possible and the excitement was nonstop.

Fort Proctor is a mysterious and abandoned fort located deep in the heart of Louisiana. Built in 1863, it was a strategic military installation during the Civil War, designed to protect the Mississippi River and the surrounding region from Confederate attacks. But today, the fort lies in ruins, overgrown with vines and surrounded by a thick, impenetrable swamp. As you approach the fort, the first thing you'll notice is the eerie silence that surrounds it. The only sounds are the chirping of crickets and the distant calls of birds. The fort's walls are made of brick and are at least 10 feet high, with a large gate that leads into the main courtyard. The walls are covered in graffiti, and it's clear that the fort has been abandoned for a long time. Once inside, you'll find yourself standing in the main courtyard, a large open space that would have once been used for drilling and training. But now, it's just a barren wasteland, with the only signs of life being the weeds and the moss that have taken over. As you explore the fort, you'll come across several buildings that have been left to rot. The barracks, which would have housed the soldiers, are now just crumbling ruins, with holes in the roof and walls. The hospital, which would have been used to treat the sick and injured soldiers, is now a ghostly shell, with empty rooms and peeling wallpaper. One of the most striking features of the fort is the underground tunnels that run beneath it. These tunnels were used as a means of escape in case of an attack, but now they're dark, damp, and eerie. You'll need a flashlight to navigate them and hear the sound of dripping water and the scurrying of small animals. As you wander through the fort, you'll begin to feel the weight of history pressing down on you. You'll imagine the soldiers who once lived and fought here, and the hardships they must have endured. You'll also think about the fort's role in the Civil War, and how it played a part in shaping the history of the United States. Overall, Fort Proctor is a place that is both eerie and fascinating. It's a testament to a time long gone, and a reminder of the sacrifices that were made for our freedom. If you're ever in Louisiana, it's definitely worth a visit. Just to let you know, once you enter, you may never want to leave. #abandoned #urbanexploration #urbandecay Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzIZ8HrzDgc-pNQDUG6avBA/join IT’S HISTORY - Weekly tales of American Urban Decay as presented by your host Ryan Socash. » CONTACT KultAmerica@mediakraft.tv https://www.facebook.com/ITshistoryX https://www.instagram.com/ryansocash/ » CREDIT Scriptwriter - Brent Sapp, Editor - Oliwa Tracz Host - Ryan Socash » SOURCES https://www.facebook.com/groups/itshistory/ » NOTICE Some images may be used for illustrative purposes only - always reflecting the accurate time frame and content.

Comiskey Park was a baseball stadium in Chicago, Illinois, which was demolished in 1991. It was the home of the Chicago White Sox from 1910 to 1990, and was one of the oldest and most historic ballparks in the country. Despite its historical significance, Comiskey Park was demolished to make way for a new state-of-the-art stadium, which was built on the same site and named US Cellular Field. The demolition of Comiskey Park marked the end of an era in Chicago baseball history, and was met with both sadness and excitement as fans looked forward to a new and improved stadium.

Click this link to make some cash for giving your opinion! https://www.inflcr.co/SHFo9 Thanks YouGov for sponsoring A bascule bridge (also referred to as a drawbridge or a lifting bridge) is a moveable bridge with a counterweight that continuously balances a span, or leaf, throughout its upward swing to provide clearance for boat traffic. It may be single- or double-leafed. The name comes from the French term for balance scale, which employs the same principle. Bascule bridges are the most common type of movable span because they open quickly and require relatively little energy to operate, while providing the possibility for unlimited vertical clearance for marine traffic.

Designed by architect Bruce Graham and engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), it opened in 1973 as the world's tallest building, a title that it held for nearly 25 years. It is currently the third-tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, as well as the 23rd-tallest in the world. Each year, more than 1.7 million people visit the Skydeck observation deck, the highest in the United States, making it one of Chicago's most popular tourist destinations. The building occupies a site bounded by Franklin Street, Jackson Boulevard, Wacker Drive, and Adams Street. Graham and Khan designed the building as nine square "tubes", clustered in a 3×3 matrix; seven of the tubes set back at upper floors. The tower has 108 stories as counted by standard methods, though the building's owners count the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse roof as 110.The facade is made of anodized aluminum and black glass. The base of the building contains a retail complex known as the Catalog. The lower half of the tower was originally occupied by retail company Sears, which had its headquarters there until 1994, while the upper stories were rented out. The structure was known as the Sears Tower from its construction until the naming rights were included in a 2009 lease with the Willis Group. Local area residents still refer to the building by its old name. As of April 2018, the building's largest tenant is United Airlines, which occupies around 20 floors. Other major tenants include the building's namesake Willis Towers Watson and law firms Schiff Hardin and Seyfarth Shaw. Morgan Stanley became the building's fourth-largest tenant in 2017.

The Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad (reporting mark CNSM), also known as the North Shore Line, was an interurban railroad that operated passenger and freight service over an 88.9-mile (143.1 km) route between the Chicago Loop and downtown Milwaukee, as well as an 8.6-mile (13.8 km) branch line between the villages of Lake Bluff and Mundelein, Illinois. The North Shore Line also provided streetcar, city bus, and motor coach services along its interurban route. Extensively improved under the one-time owner of Samuel Insull, the North Shore Line was notable for its high operating speeds and substantial physical plant, as well as innovative services such as its pioneering "ferry truck" operations and its streamlined Electroliner trainsets. Author and railroad historian William D. Middleton described the North Shore Line as a "super interurban"56  and opined that its cessation of rail service marked the end of the "interurban era" in the United States. Since 1964, the Yellow Line of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) has operated over a short segment of the former main line from Chicago to Skokie, Illinois. Operating examples of North Shore Line rolling stock have been preserved in railroad museums, and the former Dempster Street Station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
