Alien Light

The fog seemed to be pouring into the basement from this hole that went straight through the center of the castle. Little alcoves were built along the walls of this room, I suppose for displaying fairy tale dioramas.

Stunning.
It looks more like a cult meeting place now, doesn't it?
i think that was a display for alice in wonderland or something like that.
Right, when she fell into the hole... I remember reading that somewhere.
Actually, this is Cinderella's castle. There were dioramas all throughout the castle that played the story out. They were set behind those huge stone frames you see in this picture.
The hole is the result of arson.
There was an Alice in Wonderland/tea cup ride also in the EF. The ride brought you underground.
There was a tree above the tunnel that you were able to see Alice suspended in mid air, as she fell through the white rabbits hole.
She could also be seen in the tunnel falling, along with other dioramas that played the story of Alice out.
The Mother ship has arrived...
Reminds me of "The Ring".....
This place must have been fantastic in it's day--because it is truely beautiful now!!!! I hope they are successful in the reopening attempts--this is a place where you use your imagenation not just take a ride!
OMG DO YOU MEAN THIS IS LIKE A PLACE FOR ALICE IN WONDERLAND! THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE, IM SO GOING THERE!
This is Cinderella's castle.
Alice an Wonderland's tunnel was destroyed when the mall was built.
All structures have been stripped of their figures years ago.
A card guard of Alice's Wonderland was seen in an antique store awhile ago, which means the tunnel was also stripped of its figures, before it was destroyed.
Looks like old tortureroom.All those bonez...
Breathtaking!!!!
Just blew me away. It's just not a feeling, but a way of portaiting a meaning that noone can understand at present. It's the future, it's the past, it's the present, but not really. Super moment.
In it's day, there was a ceiling where the light now pours into this main room of Cinderella's Castle. (The ceiling was the floor of the third floor of this structure.) You would have seen a beautiful chandelier hanging in this spot . but like Ladyhawke said, due to arson, the chandelier, and the ceiling from which it hung ,were destroyed. Also directly above, at what would be the top, or third floor of Cinderella's Castle, sat a small house where the "happily ever after " scene could be found...this little building was also destroyed int the fire.
(Great shot of the second floor and the third floor of this structure in the John Water's movie, "Cry Baby" with Johnny Depp )
The hole in the ceiling was the portal for Motts to get beamed in to the amusement park.
is this place still abandoned
I used to go to The Enchanted Forest all the time as a kid - That hole had Alice in Wonderland falling through it when you looked up.
Bob~ It is closed and it is posted.
Right now relocation efforts to save what remains have been going on.
They are going to Clark's Elioak's Farm that is just a few miles from this original location, so that the public can enjoy seeing these pieces once again.

Meredith~ This is not Alice in Wonderland's tunnel.
I can see why you would think this was where Alice was suspended in mid air to portray her falling down into the rabbits hole.

This picture is of Cinderella's castle.
This castle's turrets have started to decay and crumble.
It has become quite unsafe.
Check out Rapunzel's Wish on 6-18-2006 that's above for a more detailed description of this castle.

Very little is known what ever happened to Alice and the rest of the wonderland figures. The tunnel was destroyed when development for a huge shopping center replaced most of this place.
Just stunning...
I can almost see the local land spirits using this as a grand ball room to gather for feasts and merry making.
