What do you do with a massive hangar in an old Soviet military base designed to house giant airships? Make a tropical resort, of course.
The hangar was purchased by Malaysian company Tanjong and turned into a Tropical Islands Resort. The resort features a 3,000 square mile swimming pool, larger than four Olympic sized pools. It also has around 600 feet of faux beach, complete with a sandy shoreline. It also has the world’s largest indoor rainforest, which includes more than 50,000 trees in 600 varieties.
Around 900,000 visitors come to the resort each year, to check out these features, as well as the main attraction: a nine story water slide that propels riders up to 44 miles per hour.
