Just do a topic search, (upper right below the user groups button), I'm sure you'll find all kinds of good stuff.

I suppose the crazier stories happened at night while people were partying or worshipping mothra or whatever else they did there.
The few times I went was during the day. I remember just roaming around the place, trying to find the last remnants of windows that hadn't already been smashed and throwing rocks at them. The place was mostly obliterated already anyway. I remember trying to go down to the sublevels, but it was pitch black and flooded. Also, trying to reach "heaven" but the ladder was hard to reach. If I remember correctly, you had to run around inside of the funnel shaped opening and try to jump up to reach it. It was just a cool place to go mess around and not be under any type of supervision. Probably the catalyst that sparked my interest in abaonded places. We'd also go offroading across the street from the dome in a field and along some trails. Good times.
Yeah, you'll find a few more stories in that thread. I've seen it spelled Equadome more often than Equidome.

The ladders sucked. They were wooden and a few steps were usually missing, others were loose.
The place had a serious vibe to it, too. Like you were expecting something bad to happen.. Before everyone had the internet, you didn't have any idea what you were getting into, other than what people told you. I think it was more mysterious, the public scrutiny the internet provides was not a resource you had at that time. So as bad as the truth was about the place, the rumors were much worse. It became this legendary thing and it was to be respected. |
