Urban explorers break into Neverland

I never quite realized what was in Neverland, was it really a fully fledged theme park? I only hear about the train station and some exotic animals, a cinema and a water slide but what else was there? It never seemed that big to me in photos. These guys little videos make it seems rather small too.

There was some classic type rides but it was more carnival stuff nothing like say Disney world.

The main house never looked that big to me, but the entire property and land was large. This footage at least makes Neverland seem beautiful again.

It has been in poor condition for years so it's nice to see it like this.

The property is large. Everything else is not that over the top. And yeah, when I stood in front of the main house I thought it was kinda smallish and didn't really appear that big. He had a couple of rides and there was music wherever you went. Two trains. A cinema and a zoo. But that's where it ends. It's not a theme park. Just certain areas that are a little more playful.

Wow can you share your experience of being at Neverland please?

What year was this and was Michael there at the time? How cool you got to be at Neverland.

Well, there was a non disclosure confidentiality agreement, but at this point, who cares? Once in August 2003 after the Celebration of love event in Los Angeles. Got bussed there from L.A. and spent the whole day inside Neverland. We had free reign and could go everywhere we wanted. Even climbed up on the giving tree. Late afternoon they gave us burgers and drinks. Then in the evening Michael came back from L.A. and we had to clear out within minutes. ;) Then again in January 2004 after we were at the courthouse in Santa Maria for the arraignment. Pretty much the whole town was there. Huge line of cars to get in, but we also got free reign and spent the whole afternoon. And then twice in August of 2004. Michael was there the last 3 times. But we didn't see him inside. In August it was after he came back from his birthday dinner with the family in L.A. He opened the window and waved at us when driving in. A couple of minutes later the security came and told us we could go in. We were about 10 people. The very next day they let us in again, the same 10 people from the day before. They escorted us to where we could go. We got to do some rides. Ride both trains and saw some unseen video footage in the cinema from when Michael was on tour. The first time going in was a amazing, they had the elephants out to greet us around the main house, when we walked to the train. First time I ever touched an elephant. In January I got to play Tennis on his Tennis court and play arcade games in the pool house. We also got to go to the zoo. It was just awesome times.

Let me explain, if you became a deceased person, would you want strangers to enter your property and take photos and videos while being masked like burglars?
You wouldn't consider that a violation of your privacy?

Oh, well. It's not his property anymore. It's sold. So no violation of privacy. But obviously, they should tighten security. Though that is almost impossible.
