Inside eerie abandoned UK waterpark left a shell of its former self with mould-covered slides & mice running everywhere
A ONCE loved family destination has fallen into ruin with mice running around and mould growing on slides. A TikToker revealed the eerie insides of the now abandoned waterpark in a haunting video. 3 3 Footage shows the park in Northern Ireland fallen into ruin with mice seen running around where children and families once played. The water slides that the attraction was once known for are now falling apart and covered in mould. Left to rot when it was closed down in February 2020 the park has remained untouched since. Haunting footage shows the once bright and vibrant attraction completely abandoned, dark and damp. The facilities have all been left frozen in time with abandoned building explorers the only recent visitors. It seems almost as if people left in a hurry with the park being nearly exactly as it was when it was open. Social media users were left feeling nostalgic by the footage with many recalling fond memories of Waterworld. The park has never been put on the market after it was suddenly closed more than five years ago. TikToker Jaimie, who explores abandoned buildings for fun and shares footage with his followers, recently visited the park. He has also explored several other abandoned sites across Ireland and has built a following from the videos of his explorations. Unsettling footage of Waterworld shows a mouse darting across the bottom of an empty pool. Video also shows clips of the sauna which looks eerily identical to how it did when the site was open. Inside abandoned center parcs Waterworld was also home to a bowling alley which was also left abandoned and frozen in time. The lanes are left dim and unlit, abandoned exactly as they were five years ago. Bowling balls still sit ready to be rolled having been left in the facility when it was emptied. The entire facility was left dark with only the torches of the TikToker and his pal to light it. The local council has been urged to focus on the sale of the abandoned site. Social media users noted that the centre still looks to be in a semi decent condition. Local councillors keep an eye on the abandoned leisure centre, asking for updates on the facility. Jamie's video received over 180,000 views on TikTok. Most were left asking if the waterpark would ever open again with the eerie footage sparking a wave of nostalgia.

The court had heard previously that Mr Eastwood is also set to challenge the basis for prosecuting him. Ireland Colum Eastwood – the SDLP's youngest leader failed...
