On a drive through the Batangas countryside, we stumbled on Fantasy World – an abandoned theme park. Needless to say, an opportune moment for a Drone shot.

Originally touted as the “Disney World of the Philippines”, work began in 1999. It was supposed to be fully operational by 2005. However, financial difficulties and construction delays led to its eventual abandonment in the mid-2000s. The structures and features of Fantasy World remain in a state of disrepair. Hard to say how big it should’ve been, but the huge multi-room hotel left dormant (captured briefly) suggest they had high expectations.
