I noticed this white cross now buried in the grass just outside the main entrance on Lake Forest Blvd.

After some research it appears it was the death of a man whose body was found inside a burned-out car the morning of Oct. 15 2016. RIP

Good to see Google Earth's aerial imagery getting updated more often. It's a bit surprising to finally see some changes, especially compared to the last snapshot from earlier this year, when it was clear they hadn't touched the property in months.

So, what do we have here? Well, it looks like the First Aid station is finally gone. They also seem to have finished tearing down what remained of Looney Tunes: the playground, Barnstormers, Crazy Bus, and the Balloons are all gone.

Shockingly, Pepe is still there somehow... Why? No clue. I doubt it'll survive much longer, though.

The carousel, which was still only partially demolished in the previous imagery, is now completely gone as well.

We already knew most of this had been removed, but it's nice to finally have proper aerial confirmation. There's not much left now.

The mermaids bathroom is still standing for some reason, though. Why on earth would they keep that for so long?

Also, don't ask me why, but Earth didn't index the February–March snapshot for some reason. Weird.

On top of that, they've removed the 2023 imagery as well. I know they're currently trying to migrate the desktop app over to the browser version, so it might be the reason. Hopefully they'll restore the missing imagery at some point, and it isn't actually lost to time.

At least the earlier snapshot is documented on this sub, so I'm really glad I made that post when I had the chance.

Uploaded two days ago. The author didn't specify when they were taken, but they were probably shot fairly recently. Once again, nothing has been done, and everything left behind is still sitting there deteriorating.

I occasionally would sit at the back of the ship with my bluetooth speaker and just enjoy the park to myself.

Also, fun fact. The ship is movable. It just takes one person to push it and it will move about 10 or so feet in either direction. Would have been cool to get like 8 guys and see how far it would go.
