You mean the eighty-seven identical facilities within 10m walk of central Washington?PeZook wrote:I think you could visit that satellite facility in Fallout 3
That's not true. People do visit it. I think they even offer tours. As long as you're careful and stay outdoors, it's safe enough for a few hours.Phantasee wrote:I imagine that would be due to nobody wanting to visit?
Not true. A lot of people want to visit, and many are allowed in.Phantasee wrote:I imagine that would be due to nobody wanting to visit?
Actually, if you scroll down past the first 8, there are more, and the first is Balaklava.Stas Bush wrote:I've been to some places, but not to others. Sadly, the Balaklava submarine base is not on the list here, but it is a magnificent place.
I like this one the best, but my favorite place in the world would be Pripyat, in Ukraine. I think it's the feel of the place, which is abandoned and the similarity to the Fallout or S.T.A.L.K.E.R levels. I have a ton of pics from abandoned places and I might post a select few of them here. So here's one (with more to come)Crossroads Inc. wrote:Found this site in a random google search and some of the pics are rather haunting.

I am irresistably fascinated by abandoned things and places, Ohio's chock full of urban and industrial decay for the morbidly inclined.
In fact, they've seen an uptick in interest thanks to the Stalker games, apparently. If I recall correctly, some Ukrainians find exclusion zone tourism to be in remarkably bad taste, however.RedImperator wrote:That's not true. People do visit it. I think they even offer tours.

This place is infamous among Russian stalkers. The people posted maps how to get there on the internet, which led to idiots going there and falling off the crane to their death. This made the company management disassemble the huge excavators and the place is gone now. So now a strict silence regime surrounds most abandoned objects.The abandoned Lopatino Phosphate Mines. Located close to the Voskresensk city (70 km from Moscow), the area is still famous for its fossil beds (and even dinosaur skeletons) from the Jurassic period
Mang, the most densely populated place on Earth at its height. 13,000 people on an island on just a few Km of space, only the Japanese could pull something like that off.Twigler wrote:Hashima Island in Japan.
I'd love to visit that place - it just looks like something that was used by a Bond villain and then left abandoned after Bond killed him.
Beautiful and creepy at the same time. Looking at all those pictures, the only thing I could think was how fucking awesome it would be as the setting for a Half-Life 2 style shooter against post-apocalyptic stormtroopers. The place is a hive.Twigler wrote:Hashima Island in Japan.

I live in Lake county, Ohio and I'd love to see abandoned places (once I have the money and vehicle I want to explore some of the areas.) ever since seeing Silent Hill.
Not just your average abandoned site, but with some alleged supernatural elements makes this site a favorite for me. I just thought of it, so that's why it gets second mention to Pripyat.Wikipedia wrote:The UFO houses were constructed beginning in 1978. They were intended as a vacation resort in a part of the northern coast adjacent to Danshui, and were marketed towards U.S. military officers coming from their East Asian postings. However, the project was abandoned in 1980 due to investment losses and several car accident deaths during construction, which is said to have been caused by the unfortuitous act of bisecting the Chinese dragon sculpture located near the resort gates for widening the road to the buildings. Other stories indicated that the site was the former burial ground for Dutch soldiers.
