Wet Willy's waterslide located in Fenton MO, opened in the summer of 1978. Built on a 40-foot hill and made entirely out of concrete, it had three winding, twisting 500-foot slides. Abandoned during the late 90's it became adopted by skateboarders.

Part 2.

An abandoned skate utopia, located in the south of France, stands the remanence of one of the most unique and bizarre skate spots. Rooler Gab, the only skatepark to have installed a ski lift to transport skaters from top to bottom. The downhill run was 1.2km in length with ten banked turns. Leading down to a 3000 square meter flat space that was once equipped with mini-spines and small tables.
