The island used to have an attraction in the 1970s and 80s where you could see exotic animals and birds. It was shut down in 1999 after Animal Kingdom opened. Since then, it has sat abandoned, becoming somewhat of an urban exploration destination that people have tried to sneak into and explore. However, no one had spent much time on the island before getting caught. Richard McGuire decided to spend a week camping on the island to explore it fully. He swam over under cover of darkness but was caught by security cameras. This led to a large police and security presence on the island looking for him. He managed to evade them for a while but eventually turned himself in to prevent them from arresting his wife instead. He was banned from Disney parks for life but only received a small fine. Things I Learned Last Night is an educational comedy podcast where best friends Jaron Myers and Tim Stone talk about random topics and have fun all along the way.
