Created by Defunctland , 2021
Defunctland is a Youtube series created by Kevin Perjurer and explores extinct theme park attractions each episode, spinning them together in a theoretical theme park. The first Defunctland VR experience follows Disney World’s Magic Kingdom attraction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which operated from 1971 to 1994. It was created in the Unreal Engine by a team of volunteers, using old camera footage from the 1980s and 90s as reference. The VR experience isn’t just a resurrection for resurrection’s sake — it's a preservation effort. When theme park attractions shut down, they’re basically lost forever.
