Interesting. I guarantee amongst the debris there is some old Bullmark toys floating around.

And then, two days after this was written, the government re-opened it.

So that article was from 2009?

I liked it..looked it up and was fascinated. Such a cool find and I'd love to visit but I didn't like how the article started and ended.

Quote:
They're so tapped into the zeitgeist (or the Viceland server) that 48 hours before we do it, they know that we've got a piece coming up on their secret hidden monster island, they jump to and re-open the place to the public.

It literally made me roll my eyes and laugh out loud and the absurdity of it.

Get over yourself Alex Hoban (whoever you are.)

there was a ps2 game loosely based on the Island I think and a bad film based on the game, I can't for the life of me remember the name though, even a quick google search tossed nothing up.

Just watched Chernobyl Diaries the other day. First half is good, but then it falls off. Anyway... the shots of the city near Chernobyl remind me a lot of this. The movie was good for that aspect at least.
