In the third section of Chapultepec Forest
A particular tank of water has been abandoned for months or years
with dolphins and sea lions in a water park.
It is closed
The dolphins are surviving in stagnant water.
The green colour of the water can barely let us see the bodies of the dolphins moving
From outside you can hear their screaming.
Hey Yo! We're in Bosque Chapultepec in the central area of Mexico City
This park is actually one of the biggest in Latin America. It is the Biggest actually.
In this park there are many many secrets we've seen the abandoned train station.
and I was told about an abandoned water park called Atlantis
We're here today, we have found it, we just have to find a way to get in....
Hey... if you can get in, you can get in... Let's do it!
So we just walked in though the fence and immediately there's this old busted brick building covered in graffiti,
and a lot of trash. I'm not a big fan of abandoned places with trash actually,
people just dump their garbage here.
This place got really famous a little while ago because there was these images
circulating of these seals and these dolphins that were really unhealthy and
they were supposed to be here in Atlantis. There was a guy in the
abandoned place trying to keep them alive, but they were very very very sick
so it resurged this place back into the media, when those photos were released
I think it was all a disinformation campaign, I don't think it
was actually real what we're really hoping not to find dolphins and seals in
here today. I really hope not.
It literally looks like a bomb exploded in this place, and then someone took a bunch of paint,
and then exploded that paint... and then we're left with Atlantis
Yeah... totally totally trashed
A lot of subscribers told us to come here. I'm happy we did this place is very very
famous and was very very famous back in the 80s and 90s. If you were a kid in Mexico City
in the 80s and 90s you came here. It gets super hot in Mexico City
in the summer and having this water park
downtown central is a great spot to cool off... Now it's just memories
Oh! I found the water slides.
Oh he's taking the easy way. - He's thinking smarter - Smarter not harder
- remember that kids
Oh man these thorns! Like dog teeth.
- Dude, what!? - I know right they're huge!
So here's the main building,
where we just walked in. Here's some stairs. I see Cody down here and I also see the wave pool.
The wave pool was one of the most famous things here in the park.
It still has water in it. it looks disgusting.
Yo! How are the waves Bro?!
- Yo. The waves are gnarly!
Cody says the waves are gnarly. They look disgusting. What color is that water, baby poop brown?
So this was the wave pool. Now it's just a mosquito breeding ground.
I will give you 100 pesos if you take a cup of that water and drink it. - 100 Pesos? That's a bargain!
Old bicycle tires... this I'm guessing looks like it's part
of a water filter. This is part of the slide that's just broken off. A milk crate.
It's full trash.
Alright! Exploring with Josh found one of the water slides
So you'd whip and tear through these things and then Whoosh... into the water
Want to hear it again? Whoosh. You'd be dead. If we did it now we'd be dead.
originally there was two meters of water there. It would be nice.
Okay! I was in football, aka Soccer for many years my life.
I'm gonna try to kick this ratty old soccer ball through that hole. What do you think? Vote below.
Three, two, one. Oh Yeah still got it! Ten years later, still got it.
We discovered that there's two sections to the water park there's the
entertainment section let's call it, with the water slides in the wavr pool and
this is the second section which probably has the animal pools we didn't
see the animal pools over there. This place has giant concrete walls with
barbed wire. We don't know how to make it happen.
Mike, what did you just do?
So I took one month of parkour classes four years ago, and they taught us how to
do the wall jump, and we just did that because we can't find a way in to
the second section. I jumped up and this is dude is they sitting in one
of those plastic white lawn chairs, with a hoodie on with his phone. Just chilling.
He didn't see me so we're probably going to... I mean if we go in,
we're gonna caught because he's right there in the middle. We're gonna try
to yell at him over the fence, and see what he says. - Let's see if he'll let us in.
This is my strategy. Jump up... and say... Amigo!
Amigo... Que tal?
He's like... you'll see in the footage but he's a Santa Clausy he kind of guy. An old sweet grandfather but he's like...
Listen, it's not my decision, it's private property.
It's actually really beautiful in there. It looks like a beautiful skate park. All these deep pools where the animals used to be.
But he's like there's no way, and I can't give you permission. It is private.
The office is over there.
I'm like is there any way we can negotiate a permit for 5 little minutes?
He's like there is absolutely no way. If you want to come back on Thursday there's the offices. You can ask them.
but there's absolutely no way for any amount of money you can come in here.
- No worries though, you tried you have drones.
We have drone footage... He can't say no to a drone.
Okay so we have terminated our day a little bit earlier than we expected in
Atlantis because we cannot get into the second section with the animals.
The weird part is there's that really cool dome in the middle.
We talked the guard again a second time we asked him four times what's in the
dome, with specific things that could be in the dome. Is there a pool for seals?
Is it storage? He would not answer the question, he avoided the question
three times, so we can't answer if there is still wild dolphins or seals in Chapultepec
but we've explored it as much as we can
So! Thanks guys for watching.
If you know Exploring with Josh, or Exploring with Cody. They are awesome friends
This is there second time here in Mexico City. We get up some really cool stuff, and there'll be some more coming.
So! Without further ado. Experiences over Possessions
Kick the Grind
Yeah man.
