Summary
Core Theme
This content details the disastrous and ultimately abandoned theme resort projects of the Dandy Corporation, exploring the reasons behind their failures and the eerie, decaying remnants left behind.
abandoned by Dandy written by
Christopher Howard wolf and narrated by Chadwick
pson you may have heard about the Dandy
corporation's modern-day ghost towns a
company as large and as long- lasting as
Dandy Co is bound to make a few mistakes
and when they do it's often cheaper to
just ignore them than to throw good
money after bad one such misstep was the
Pirates a toll Resort in the Caribbean
it didn't start as a ghost town of
course cruise ships would drop hundreds
of passengers off at the resort to relax
in luxury the resort had a tiki bar A
small collection of exotic animals and
daily live pirate shows you can find
these facts and even a few photos if you
know where to look it up Dandy Cole blew
over $30 million on the project that's
not a typo $30
million then without warning they
completely abandoned it blame was placed
on the cruise lines which were
contracted to provide a licensed Dand
Land Theme apparently they tried to
renegotiate fees in a predatory manner
they knew the resort would be useless
without the ships and that Dandy had a
lot to lose local staff on the island
were also blamed for showing up late and
having a poor work ethic that's where
the truthful nature of the story ends it
wasn't because of greedy cruise lines
and it most definitely wasn't because
the those dang foreigners are so lazy no
I very sincerely doubt that those
excuses hold water why because of prim's
Palace near the Beachside city of
Emerald Isle in North Carolina Dandy
began construction of prima's Palace in
the late
1990s conceptually it was going to be a
lush medieval Forest the aforementioned
Palace would sit at the center and house
the guests if you're unfamiliar with the
titular character you may remember the
classic Story the noble and the Nave
however most people probably know her
from the decades old Dandy cartoon of
the same name Prim is a young lady from
a royal family exiled into a primitive
Wilderness by a cruel nobleman there she
befriends various Woodland creatures
before being rescued by a reformed
Highwayman prim's Palace was a
controversial undertaking from the very
beginning Dandy bought out a ton of high
pric land for the project and Scandal
surrounded some of the purchases the
local local government claimed eminent
domain on people's homes then
immediately sold them to Dand Co one
home had just finished construction when
it was immediately condemned with no
real explanation the land that had been
seized was supposedly intended for some
sort of Highway project knowing full
well that this was a lie people started
calling it leming Lane a play on their
mascot lucky lemming and the legend that
the creatures took paths to their own
demise then there was the concept art a
few stuffed shirt types from Dand Co
held a city meeting they intended to
convince everyone that this project was
going to benefit them it would increase
tourism bringing extra customers to
local businesses they revealed the
concept art with a flourish and
accompanying upbeat music sure it would
impress Their audience when the people
saw the garish Technicolor eyes sore of
a building the surrounding tribal
Wilderness and staff members dressed in
Wild Savage loin cloths and masks
suffice to say everyone flipped their
we're talking about a magical
castle of sorts an Arcane forest and
half naked servants Not only would this
be in the center of a relatively wealthy
historic area but also one below the
Bible Belt magic talking animals and
Exposed Skin were highly controversial
at this point in time one crowd member
stormed the stage in fact managing to
break a presentation board over his knee
Dandy took the community and essentially
broke it over their knee in response
houses were raised Ed to the ground land
was cleared there wasn't a damn thing
anyone could do or say about it local
television stations and newspapers were
against the building of the resort at
first then some corporate connections
between Dand CO's media Holdings and the
local news venues came into play their
opinions soon turned on a dime but I
digress remember Pirates at toll in the
Caribbean Dandy sunk all that money into
it then split at the first sign of
trouble the same thing happened with
Prim Vera's Palace construction was
completed and visitors stayed at the
resort with little to no problems the
smaller surrounding communities were
flooded with traffic and the usual
annoyances that came with an influx of
lost and cranky Travelers then it all
just stopped they shut it down and
nobody knew what to think still though
the lack of answers was confusing
residents were pretty happy to hear the
news D's loss was hilarious and
wonderful to a large group of people who
didn't want this in the first place
personally I hadn't given the place a
second thought after hearing it had
closed over a decade ago I live about 4
hours from Emerald Isle so I only
managed to hear the rumors and Rumblings
no firsthand information made it my way
then I found an article from a blogger
who had explored the Pirates at to
Resort he posted detail descriptions of
the crazy he discovered there
everything Left Behind was smashed
defaced ruined by disgruntled former
employees hell maybe people came from
miles around to wreck the place they
were probably just angry about Pirates
at all as folks here were about the
palace there were even rumors that Dandy
Co had released their aquarium stock
into the local Waters when they closed
down this would have included a variety
of dangerous invasive species including
sharks who wouldn't want to take a few
swings at them after that the blog post
about Pirates a toll got me thinking
even though many years had passed since
it closed I figured it might be
interesting to do some Urban exploration
at Prim Vera's Palace I could take some
photos write about my experience and
pretty much copy what this other blogger
had done long before me I might even be
able to take something home as a momento
I can't say that I hurried there it took
me around a year after I first found
that blog post over that time I
researched the resort or rather I tried
to naturally no official Dandy related
website or resource made any mention of
the location they had all been scrubbed
clean Strang or still it seemed like no
one other than myself had thought to
talk about the place or even post
vacation photos from there none of the
local news sites contained one word
about the place though that could be
expected since they had all swung D's
way they wouldn't be allowed to bring
attention to the embarrassment more
recently I learned that large
corporations can actually ask search
engines to remove search results from
what I've heard they don't even need to
provide a good reason for the removal
looking back on it that's probably what
happened it's not that there were no
posts about the resort but their words
were simply made
inaccessible so naturally I could barely
find the place in the end all I had to
work with was an old as hell map I
received in the mail back in the 9s it
was part of a promotional brochure that
had been sent out to people who had
recently been to Dand land my family had
visited the park in the late ' 80s so we
were on the list I hadn't intended to
keep the brochure but it got shoved into
a box with my childhood comic books I
only remembered it existed a few months
into my research and then it took me a
couple weeks to get around to visiting
my parents and finding where it had all
been stored after I found the map I was
sure the difficult part was over however
on my way to the resort I found that the
locals weren't going to be any help most
were transplants who had moved to the
beach in recent years others were old
residents who sneered the second I spoke
Dandy the drive took me through an
inordinately long Corridor of overgrowth
exotic plants had run rampant and
overpopulated the area mixing with the
native species that were desperately
vying to reclaim the land I was in awe
when I finally reached the entrance to
the main Resort the tremendous
monolithic wooden gates still stood
their supports cut from what seemed like
giant Seas the otherwise Majestic gate
was gouged by woodpeckers and the base
was slowly being eaten Away by burrowing
insects hanging at face level was a
sheet of metal it was some random scrap
with a hand painted message scrolled in
black paint abandoned by Dandy clearly
this was the handiwork of some past
local or employee who wanted to voice
their own small protest the entrance was
open wide enough to slip through but not
wide enough for a vehicle so grabbing my
digital camera a flashlight and the
brochure I set off on
foot flipping the paper over displayed a
layout of the resort itself though the
landscape was a little less friendly the
inner grounds were just as wild as the
entry fruit trees still stood unattended
and ragged among piles of their own
stinking bug riddled rot there was a
strange clash between Order and Chaos as
carefully planted rows of perennial
flowers fought for space with tall weeds
and stinking blackened mushrooms all
that remained of any smaller outdoor
structures were piles of broken charred
debris something that seemed to be an
information booth was now a chopped up
heap of wood and splintered information
boards what vandals hadn't ruined was
ruined by inclement weather what struck
me as bizarre was a large statue of
Princess Prim which stood prominently
within a courtyard in front of the
palace she was frozen in a delicate wave
toward no one staring into into empty
space with a Demir slight Smile as
generations of birdshit covered her
crown hair and dress ugly thorny Vines
entangled her
platform I approached the building any
colors left were washed out sunfed and
much of the plaster meant to simulate
stonework had cracked from exposure
where the paint hadn't peeled or chipped
away there was a copious amount of
graffiti the front doors weren't just
left open they had been taken completely
off of their hinges and were seemingly
stolen above the gaping ma where the
front doors had been someone had once
again painted the phrase abandoned by
Dandy you're probably waiting to hear
about all the awesome stuff I saw inside
the palace forgotten valubles derel cash
registers a full-fledged secret society
of homeless cannibals but no the inside
of the building was so Stark so bare
that I think people may have even stolen
the molding off the walls anything that
was too big to steal like counters desks
and giant fake trees rested in an empty
Echo chamber every step I took was
Amplified like a slow radatat of a
machine gun I checked the floor plan and
headed to the specific locations that
seemed interesting the kitchen was as
you'd imagine it was an industrial food
prep area with rows of various
appliances no expenses were spared every
glass surface was broken every door was
knocked out of its frame every metal
surface was kicked and dented worst of
all the entire room smelled like stale acrid
acrid
piss the walk-in freezer not even
remotely cool at that point had row upon
row of empty shelves hooks hung from the
ceiling most likely for hanging cuts of
meat as I took in the sight for a moment
I noticed that several of them were
swinging their movements were so slow
and small that it was almost impossible
to see if you weren't paying attention I
briefly considered that it had been
caused by me moving through but they
were moving in areas I hadn't even been
to yet the public bathrooms were in much
the same state just like the Pirates a
toll Resort someone had methodically
smashed each porcelain commode with
whatever was available to throw about a/
in of stinking stagnant water had pulled
on the floor so of course I didn't stay
for long what's odd is that the toilets
and sinks and the Beday yes I went in
there all dripped leaked or just flowed
freely it seemed to me that the water
should have been shut off quite some
time ago there were plenty of Hotel
style rooms in the resort but I
definitely didn't have time to look
through them all the few I did peer into
were similarly destroyed and I wouldn't
have realistically found anything
interesting in them I thought I could
hear a television or radio in one room
since it almost sounded like there was a
conversation going on inside it was like
a whisper but looking back it could have
just been in my own breathing echoing in
the silence maybe it was just entirely a
trick of the mind it sounded like an
exchange between two
voices I didn't believe in it you
believe it
you I didn't know that I couldn't know
you
I'm aware of how ridiculous that sounds
still I suspected there might have been
something running in that room or Worse
some meth heads who had holed up there
and probably would have knifed me when I
returned to the front of the palace I
figured I hadn't found anything of note
the trip had been a waste of time I was
going to drive straight home again
rather than booking a hotel room so I
couldn't even consider it a one night
vacation as I looked outside I noticed
something in the Courtyard that I must
have missed before it was something that
would have given me one really cool
thing to show for all my trouble even if
it was just a picture a lifelike statue
of a python maybe 50 ft long sat coiled
up and sunning itself on a large
graffiti covered rock it was almost time
for the sun to set so light was falling
onto it in the perfect way for a
photograph I approached the python and
snapped a photo I stood on my toes and
snapped another I moved in closer to get
the details of its face face slowly
casually the snake lifted its head and
looked directly into my eyes it turned
slithered off the rock across the grass
and into the tree line its headlong
disappeared into the woods before its
tail even left the sunning spot Dandy Co
had released all of their exotic animals
onto the grounds right there on my floor
plan map was the reptile house of course
I should have expected it I had read
about the sharks at Pirates toll and I
should have known they would do this I
was dumbfounded utterly stupified my
mouth must have been hanging open for
the longest time before I came to my
senses and snapped it shut I blinked
stupidly for a moment then back toward
the palace away from the snake even
though it was gone I wasn't taking any
chances and retreated to the building to
gather my wits again I looked for a
place to sit down and breathe I had
always had an unreasonable fear of
snakes of anything with scal really at
that point my legs felt like they'd
become jelly of course there was no
place to sit down unless I wanted to
recline in broken glass and a leaf
carpet crawling with insects I could
have hauled myself onto a desk but it
probably would have collapsed from age I
had seen a receding staircase in the
lobby and decided to have a seat there
until my pulse stopped pounding in my
ears the stairs Were Far Enough from the
front of the building to be somewhat
clean other than a startling
accumulation of dust I pulled a wedge of
metal off of the wall and used it as an
improvised seat cover once again it had
been painted with the abandoned by Dandy
motto I had become accustomed to the
stairway LED down to a below ground
level of the building using my
flashlight I could see the stairs ended
at a metal Mesh Door with a padlock a
sign on the door a real sign unlike the
hastily scalled ones read mascots only
thank you that perked up my spirits for
two reasons first first a mascot's only
area would definitely contain some
interesting things back in the day
second the padlock was still in place
nobody had gone down there not the
vandals the looters no one that was the
one place I could actually explore and
perhaps find really unique stuff to
photograph or even steal I had come to
the palace with the decision that it was
okay to take something back for proof
after all the owners clearly didn't care
I didn't have much hope of breaking the
lock the ravages of age weren't powerful
enough to corrode the metal that much
what I could do however was separate the
plate that held it in place from the
damaged wood of the wall the screws
pulled free easily once I applied enough
pressure either others hadn't thought to
try bypassing the lock or it was still
too solid when they had tried the
mascot's only area was a startling and
welcome change from the rest of the
palace every second or third fluorescent
light was illuminated though they
flickered and Faded r rly nothing had
been broken or stolen though time and
desertion had taken their toll tables
bore notepads and pens clocks hung on
the wall Frozen at different times there
was a punchin clock complete with filled
in time cards chairs were scattered
around and long rotted out food and
drink sat on countertops it was like one
of those post-apocalyptic movies where
everything is left in a state of
evacuation as I wandered the mazike sub
basement hallways the sites became more
and more disquieting further in desks
and tables were knocked over scattered
papers had melded with the damp floor
and a large expanse of fungus was slowly
overtaking rotted carpeting everything
was just squishy anything made of wood
disintegrated into mush when I applied
even the least amount of force clothing
items left hanging on hooks simply fell
to moist threads if I tried to remove
them one thing that got on my nerves was
that the light became more sparse and
unreliable as I proceeded it wasn't dark
enough for a flashlight but not bright
enough to be comfortable the depths of
the sub basement grew dank and
suffocating eventually I reached a
bright yellow door with the words mascot
prep one stencl on its surface in my
excitement I all but yanked off the
doorknob I figured that room held the
costumes and I definitely wanted a
photograph of all that Twisted stinking
mess try as I might whatever angle or
trick I tried the door wouldn't budge
that is until I acknowledged defeat and
began to walk away that was when there
was a slight popping sound after which
the door slowly creeped open just a bit
inside the room was completely dark
pitch black I used my light to search
for a switch on the wall by the door but
there was none as I focused on the walls
I was Jarred out of my concentration by
a sudden and piercing electrical Buzz
rows of Lights overhead suddenly flashed
to life flickering and fading like the
others I had passed it took a second for
my eyes to adjust and it seemed as if
the light was going to keep growing in
brightness until the bulbs exploded just
when I thought it would reach the
critical stage they dimmed a bit and
steadied the room was exactly how I had
imagined it various Dandy character
costumes hung on the walls like strange
cartoon cadavers suspended from invisible
invisible
nooses what I found odd and what I
really needed to make a Rec record of
was a lucky leming costume at the center
of the room unlike the other costumes it
was laying on its back like a murder
victim its fur was matted and shedding
creating bare patches what's worse
however was the coloring of the costume
I think mold and milw must have taken
roote seeming to turn it into a photo
negative version of the actual lucky
leming black rot where he should have
been white white fungus filaments where
he should have been black his clothes
seemed faded and bleached the opposite
of their usual Hue the sight was so
off-putting that I postponed looking at
the thing again until I was ready to
leave the room I took a picture of the
costumes hung on the walls upward angles
downward angles Sid shots to show an
entire row of Frozen stinking cartoon
faces the occasional missing eye made it
all the more
Grim then I decided to Stage a shot I
was going to place one of the bedraggled
car character heads on the Slick grimy
floor reaching for the headpiece of a
loopy loon costume I carefully removed
it so it wouldn't fall apart in my hands
as I looked into the face of the
wide-eyed moldering head a loud
clattering sound made me jump with
fright looking down at my feet I saw a
human skull now resting between my shoes
it had fallen out of the mascot head and
cracked into several pieces the empty
face stared up at me jaw detached I
dropped the costume head immediately as
you'd no doubt expect I moved for the
door but something stopped me I looked
back to the skull and felt a flush of
anger I had to take a picture to show
the world I'd need proof of this
especially if the Dandy Corporation was
going to somehow make this all disappear
I had no doubt in my mind that Dandy was
responsible for this even if it was just
gross negligence whatever happened this
was the real reason the resort had
closed I was the only one who knew knew
me as I contemplated the
implications that's when lucky the photo
negative opposite character in the
middle of the floor started to get up
first sitting then climbing to its feet
the lucky lemon costume or whoever was
inside of it stood on oversized unsteady
feet no no all I could do was mumble no
over and over again as its false face
stared me down with an inoffensive Pleasant
Pleasant
expression with shaking hands a
violently thrashing heart and legs that
had once again turned to jelly I managed
to lift the camera it took all of my
strength to raise and aim it at the
thing that was quietly sizing me up head
tilted the camera's screen displayed
only dead pixels in the shape of the
thing it was a perfect silhouette of the
lucky lemon costume as the camera
shifted and shook in my hands the dead
pixel spread marring the screen wherever
luy's out outline appeared the camera
died it went blank and quiet it was
broken I raised my eyes once again from
the black screen to the costume in front
of me Hey it said in a hushed perfectly
executed lucky lemming Voice want to see
my head come
off it started to pull at its own head
working clumsy glove clad fingers around
the surface of its neck with clawing
impatient movements it was like watching
a wounded man trying to pull himself
free from a predator's Jaws as it worked
its digits into the fabric flesh rolling
rivulets of thick curdled yellow bile
spilled from what seemed like wounds at
least it looked like bile infected blood
puss vomit I had zero interest in
finding out I turned away as I heard a
sickening tearing of cloth and flesh I
only cared about getting away above the
doorway out of the room I saw a final
message clawed into the metal with
fingernails or possibly bone abandoned by
by
God the picture files in the camera were
irretrievable I never got my head around
writing the blog entry about what
happened after I ran from that place
fleeing for my sanity as much as my life
I knew why the Dandy Corporation didn't
want anyone to know about this place
they didn't want anyone like me getting
in because they didn't want anything
