Abandoned rides and other attractions at Disney Parks have been documented over the years by YouTubers, bloggers, and TikTokers. We previously reported on the remnants of the old Skyway gondola lift ride at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. Abandoned steps that had become overgrown by vegetation were hidden behind a vendor's tent in Fantasyland. Another purported piece of abandoned Disney history was a house-sized Mickey Mouse head with a missing eye and damaged ears. A picture depicted a wooden path in a river stream leading to the rusted out head: On Pinterest, the Mickey Mouse picture had been referred to both in pins and boards as depicting an abandoned amusement park and abandoned Disney. On at least one board, it was mixed in with genuine photographs of real abandoned theme parks. But the Pinterest pictures were not real or from Disney Parks. In late December 2020, the popular Disney Parks TikToker @themouselets debunked the massive Mickey Mouse head picture as part of an Abandoned Disney video series. The head was actually a digital art creation from Filip Hodas. In December 2019, Dawn Hammons with Dornob.com published a story about Hodas' many Pop Culture Dystopia renderings: Hodas originally posted the rendering to Instagram on Nov. 16, 2017. The software Cinema 4D, Octane Render, and Adobe Photoshop were all used in the creation of the dystopian artwork. For further reading, we're not sure if this qualifies exactly as abandoned, but Disneyland placed a beloved and lonely Winnie the Pooh character in quite the curious place. Park attendees should keep their eyes peeled the next time they get in line for the Indiana Jones Adventure ride.
