American sparks debate after calling popular Scottish waterpark ‘creepy and abandoned'
A TikToker shared old photos of the Time Capsule's dinosaurs in a video that drew over 2,000 comments A TikToker known for exploring spooky attractions around the world has baffled Scottish viewers after claiming the Time Capsule in Coatbridge is a 'creepy abandoned waterpark.' US-based content creator @whyjordie, who describes herself as the 'submechanophobia queen' and specialises in animatronics and ocean-themed fears, recently shared a video featuring old photos of the Lanarkshire waterpark. The clip, which has drawn more than 2,000 comments, focuses on the dinosaurs that once roamed the attraction in the 1990s, Glasgow Live reports. The video is titled: 'This indoor water park that is now abandoned; at one point had a T-Rex statue in the pool, very submechanophobia coded and the fact that it's abandoned now is horrifying.' In the short voiceover, she speculates: 'Just knowing this waterpark is still there but abandoned, probably completely closed off to the public, in the complete darkness, possibly still with water in it – who knows? With this giant T-Rex in it. Also why does it have like the B-word in its mouth? The red stuff. 'Imagine going down this little slide and just being in front of this T-Rex in water? Why would they do this?!' For many Scots, the images immediately evoked memories of the dinosaurs that made the Time Capsule famous when it first opened in the early 1990s. While locals often admitted the T-Rex slide, complete with its blood-red mouth, was unsettling, the idea that the attraction now lies abandoned has been met with bemusement. TikTok users in Scotland were quick to defend the leisure centre in the comments. One wrote: 'The Time Capsule is abandoned? Since when? Last night when it closed?' Another added: 'Never in my life did I expect to see an American on my fyp talking about Time Capsule.' Not everyone disagreed with the American TikToker's eerie interpretation, however. One commenter admitted: 'This what started my submechanophobia, I went when I was about 3/4 and lasted about 5 mins in the water.' While the dinosaurs disappeared more than a decade ago, the Time Capsule is far from abandoned. In fact, it has just reopened following a significant refurbishment programme. The popular family attraction closed earlier this year to allow for essential upgrade work, which has now been completed. Improvements include new pumps and blowers for the waterfalls and river rapids, along with more than a mile of new wiring to modernise the electrical systems.

Safety and comfort have been prioritised with the installation of soft rubber flooring at Splashdown Island and Coral Cove. Repairs have also been made to the river rapids and tiles throughout the complex, while the shower facilities have been upgraded to provide a fresher experience for guests. Not every feature is back in use just yet. The much-loved tipping bucket and the yellow flume remain closed while further developments take place. However, the purple flume is ready and open to the public.
