Heritage USA- A Christian-themed water park, theme park and residential complex in Fort Mill, South Carolina, built by televangelist Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker

"Scam Tower" #HeritageUSA was a #Christian theme park that was the brain child of #televangelist #JimBakker & #TammyFayeBakker. It opened in #1978 & in 1986 it had become one of the top vacation spots rivaling Disneyland & Walt Disney World with an annual 6 million visitors a year in the 1980's. It closed in 1989 when Jim Bakker's federal indictment over his sexual affair & fundraising #scandal came to the surface ruining his empire. To top it off, #HurricaneHugo added its own revenge to help close the park for good. Much of Heritage USA is gone, only the arcade castle & hotel live on in a gated off & locked down world of crumbling walls & faded happiness. #DPGC_UrbanDecay #filthyfeeds #northcarolina #jimandtammy #sham #DPGC_UrbanDecay #autopsyofamerica #Abandon_af #urbex_supreme #aband0n_all_h0pe #rsa_preciousjunk #Abandoned_Excellence #Abandoned #Grimelords #AbandonedAfterDark #AbandonedCentral #BandoRebelz #ItsAbandoned #Abandoned_Addiction #Kings_Abandoned #AbandonedPlaces (at Heritage USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC86VEzpyYv/?igshid=bjqw99g27q4g
