The Scariest Cruise Ship Crimes

Action Park was reportedly one of America's deadliest&nbsp;amusement parks. The park opened in 1978 as&nbsp;the brainchild of Eugene Mulvihill, a man&nbsp;considered equal parts P.T. Barnum and Walt Disney. He envisioned a theme park with slightly more thrills,&nbsp;one where the riders &quot;controlled&quot; the action.What he ended up with, though, was a deadly New Jersey amusement and water park, which still lives on in the memories of New Jerseyans and New Yorkers&nbsp;born in the '70s and '80s. Even New Jersey Senator Cory Booker <a href="https://twitter.com/CoryBooker/statuses/372559998900895745" target="_blank">fondly remembers&nbsp;his scrapes and scars</a>&nbsp;from riding the&nbsp;park's Alpine Slide.Nostalgia aside, some dark stuff went down, way beyond run-of-the-mill injuries. Multiple visitors sustained injuries on <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-dangerous-theme-park-rides-ever/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">the park's&nbsp;dangerous attractions</a>.Still, none of the owners or operators ever went to jail for negligence; the park only shuttered in 1996 due to financial woes. We've compiled a list of the most frightening events in the park's 18-year history, a place that remained open 14 years <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/ways-to-die-at-a-water-park/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">after its first accidental death</a> in 1982.

Who doesn&#39;t have some creepy small town stories? Isolated and insular places can&nbsp;have some of the scariest vibes anywhere. After all, every community is different, and plenty of <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-american-small-towns/noah-henry" target="_blank">towns are just plain weird</a>. Maybe it&#39;s a history of xenophobia, or a political dispute institutionalized over the years, or possibly a doomsday cult attempting to summon the apocalypse by sacrificing unsuspecting travelers.

Whatever the case, creepy small towns are everywhere, and this list collects some of the most off-putting&nbsp;for you to remember next time you&#39;re driving back roads late at night.

First settled by humans more than 1,200 years ago, gorgeous Hawaii is so much more than America's 50th state!

Aloha, Hawaii

Although Hawaii consists of well over 100 islands, only&nbsp;eight are considered main&nbsp;islands. One is Niihau, which&nbsp;is privately owned and has a history wildly different from Hawaii&nbsp;as a whole. Niihau is known as the &quot;Forbidden Island,&quot; and access is highly restricted. The family that owns the land reserves the right to evict people, regulating who is allowed to visit. There are also&nbsp;strictly enforced rules for those who live on Niihau - residents can&#39;t partake in illicit substances&nbsp;or alcohol, and they have to follow certain codes with regard to appearance. The small number of people who live on the island don&#39;t pay rent&nbsp;or buy their own food - it&#39;s all supplied by the island&#39;s owners.

Going to the island is easier today than it was in the past; for a little over $400, you can fly above the island in a helicopter and touch down on one of its well-preserved beaches. Though it&#39;s had its fair share of controversy, not unlike the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/who-is-the-heir-to-the-hawaiian-throne-fight/megan-summers" target="_blank">Kingdom of Hawaii</a>, Niihau has managed to preserve Hawaiian culture on a series of islands <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/injustices-committed-against-hawaii/erin-mccann" target="_blank">forcibly overtaken</a> by&nbsp;American interests.

When you travel by airplane, usually you find yourself surrounded by stinky, slobbering animals who know nothing about etiquette or personal boundaries. But sometimes you luck out and meet actual <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/weird-emotional-support-animals/mariel-loveland?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">animals on planes</a> who&nbsp;make&nbsp;the lack of legroom and terrible airline food worth it. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/traveling-with-pets-on-airplanes/rachel-souerbry" target="_blank">Pets on planes</a>, while formerly&nbsp;a rarity, pop up more and more frequently as travel becomes more accessible. Animal passengers on airlines&nbsp;come in all sizes and species, especially now that many people take their service animals on planes. Dogs on planes appear the most frequently, but birds and ponies also turn up in the aisle&nbsp;on occasion. One dignified penguin even put to rest the myth that the species is &quot;flightless.&quot; Hopefully when you fly home for the holidays, you'll meet&nbsp;some airborne animals who don't happen to be pulling Santa's sleigh.

Let's face it: People are gross. The world is gross. Life is gross. Ugh, go wash your hands.

That's Disgusting!

Do you consider yourself a connoisseur of the macabre?&nbsp;Do you often find yourself laying awake late into the night, staring at your ceiling, wondering what&#39;s the nastiest display at the M&uuml;tter Museum in Philadelphia? If so, it&#39;s time to get dirty with this list all about the M&uuml;tter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, also known as the museum of medical oddities.

The M&uuml;tter Museum opened in 1858, after surgeon Dr. Thomas Dent M&uuml;tter&nbsp;donated $30,000 and 1,700 medicine-related objects and specimens to the college, on the condition that his collection be expanded upon and curated. And thus, the weird displays at the Mutter Museum came into being.&nbsp;

Housed in an unassuming brick building with white stone columns, the two-story museum is home to over 25,000 medical models of infectious diseases, osteological (bone &amp; skeleton) specimens, cysts, tumors, organs, and old surgical instruments that wouldn&#39;t look out of place in a Saw movie. Hence why you may have&nbsp;heard all about some seriously gross M&uuml;tter Museum display objects.&nbsp;

Hotels are your homes away from home. Here are some of the best and worst things about them.

Get a Room!

It&#39;s fun to plan a vacation. Where will you go? What will you see? And most importantly: Where will you stay? Chances are you&#39;ve stayed in numerous hotels or motels. Maybe even a bed and breakfast or a five-star hotel or resort. Regardless of how nice the place&nbsp;is (or isn&#39;t), chances are you&#39;ve wondered, &quot;Hmmm...&nbsp;what goes on behind the scenes here?&quot; or &quot;What hotel secrets are they not telling me this time?&quot; You&#39;ve definitely had second thoughts regarding exactly how clean the sheets are and anyone who&#39;s a fan of undercover reports knows that some hotels, or rather most hotels, are not as clean as you think.

This list of hospitality secrets covers some of the secrets you might have heard before, some you would never ever think of, and&nbsp;some hotel confessions from former employees that you will never ever forget. It might completely change the way you travel,&nbsp;including how you book your vacation&nbsp;and what you drink from the minibar.

The most important tip to take away from this: be nice to the hotel staff. That means everyone -&nbsp;front desk, concierge, bellhop, valet, and definitely the cleaning staff. You don&rsquo;t want to experience some of the things they could do (or have done) to you. Also, a tip goes a long way!

A trip to the airport during the Golden Age of travel was a far cry from what passengers experience&nbsp;today. Instead of a long, stressful day spent waiting in lines and wolfing down&nbsp;fast food before boarding, flying during the 1950s and 1960s&nbsp;involved glamour, lavish meals, and lots of legroom -&nbsp;not to mention cigarettes and cigars for your smoking pleasure. <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/vintage-flight-attendant-and-air-travel-photos/mariel-loveland" target="_blank">Vintage airplane pictures</a> show the sheer volume of perks airlines adopted to entice people to fly.Flight attendants,&nbsp;pilots, and passengers spent their time in the friendly skies surrounded by luxury, but the experience came with downsides, too.

Ridesharing has become one of the cheapest and easiest ways to travel in a city. Gone are the days of calling a taxi driver, because fun, casual, and comfortable rides is where it&#39;s at.

However, to every good, there is a bad. Ridesharing horror stories have begun to sprout up, making people very wary of hopping into an unmarked stranger&#39;s car, and understandably so.

I love traveling but hate spending money. Going on vacation is bittersweet. No work and getting away (sweet). Spending way too much money and coming home broke (bitter). I just recently started using travel deal websites and am obsessed. They save me money in every aspect of traveling - whether it's lodging, transportation, food, or flights. The only downside to them is that there are way too many websites trying to help you save money on your vacation.

List of international <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-mcdonalds-menu-items/ranker-food" target="_blank">McDonald&#39;s menu items</a> you won&#39;t find in the U.S. This list includes weird, delicious, gross, and unusual McDonald&#39;s menu items from all around the world. If you have traveled internationally and visited a McDonald&#39;s abroad, you may have noted that while some of the menu items in McDonald&#39;s in other countries are similar to U.S. items, there are many McDonald&#39;s items that you have never seen before. You can see the items in video form <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeajfFfdyj4" target="_blank">here</a>.

Why is McDonald&#39;s menu different in other countries? It&#39;s simple: they want to sell their food in those countries and people around the world have different tastes and cultural customs that allow them to enjoy some fast food over others.&nbsp;The fast food masterminds behind the McDonald&#39;s empire are smart. 

For example,&nbsp;because cows are generally not consumed in India, there are no menu items made from beef on the Indian menu. Instead, they serve up paneer (a popular South Asian cheese) and chicken-based menu items that are seasoned with masala and cumin and topped with mint mayonaise (a sauce similar to India&#39;s popular mint yogurt sauce). They also serve plenty of vegetarian McDonald&#39;s foods. It&#39;s a perfect example of how McDonald&#39;s uses regional spices and food preferences and adapts those to their international McDonald&#39;s menus.&nbsp;

While McDonald&#39;s abroad locations adapt their flavors and ingredients to please local flavor palettes, they don&#39;t take this too far. Often, McDonald&#39;s in other countries will take local favorites and fuse them with classic McDonald&#39;s dishes and come up with weird McDonald&#39;s menu items in other countries. What are some of the weirdest international fast food items? &quot;Los Beefos&quot;--meatballs covered in crunchy breading from German McDonald&#39;s and &quot;Bubar Ayam&quot;--rice porridge topped with chicken strips from Malaysian McDonald&#39;s is also pretty unusual. Menu items that fuse local fare with traditional McDonald&#39;s flavors (like fried breading and chicken strips) do this because people who come to McDonald&#39;s still want the &quot;Western food experience&quot; when they eat foods they are used to. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Next time you go to Micky D&#39;s and order your same old Big Mac, chicken nuggets or <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-french-fries?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">french fries</a> you can be happy (or sad, depending on your taste) to know that in other countries they are eating Chicken Maharaja Macs, McPatatas and Spinach and&nbsp;Parmesan&nbsp;Nuggets rather than your favorite McD&#39;s items. You can take comfort in knowing that there are plenty of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/mcdonald_s-secret-menu-items/secret-menu-items">McDonald&#39;s secret menu items</a> if you want to mix it up. &nbsp;

Here is a peak at the best-looking and most unique McDonald&#39;s menu items from around the world. Vote on which items look the best to you!

Amazing, disgusting, and downright unsettling things discovered in unexpected places. When was the last time you poked around in your own crawlspace? 

Lost and Found

Amazing things found in abandoned luggage are not your typical finds like designer purses and expensive watches. No, these are rare items like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-stole-props/anncasano" target="_blank">one-of-a-kind movie props</a>, ancient artifacts, and large sums of cash. So forget that iPad you left in the seat back pocket&nbsp;or that favorite pair of jeans in your luggage that never arrived. These amazing things found in abandoned luggage are the items we could only dream about having, even for a split second before they were swallowed up by air travel.

The unique items found in lost luggage are about as unpredictable as can be. Antique items like a 1770s violin and a 10-foot Tibetan dung-chen are just a few of the old items found in abandoned luggage.

But there&#39;s so much more than just old things found in lost luggage. There have been some extremely weird things that have turned up as well, like thousands of tortoises, a live rattlesnake, and no less than 50 vacuum-packed frogs. Of course, plenty of prohibited goods have been found as well, such as the 5 lbs.&nbsp;of coke discovered stuffed in tennis shoes at JFK Airport in 2011.

These obscure items were all found in lost or abandoned bags at airports around the world, or at the <a href="https://www.unclaimedbaggage.com/" target="_blank">Unclaimed Baggage Center in Alabama</a>. Bags that go unclaimed after 90 days are sold by <a href="http://www.ranker.com/profile-of/list-of-airlines" target="_blank">airlines</a> and sent to this massive compound in the south where the items within are sorted, cleaned, and resold at prices 30-80% below retail. You may be able to find some gently used clothing, electronics, and&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-luggage-brands" target="_blank">top luggage</a> at this 40,000 square foot store - but don&#39;t expect many of these amazing things to be up for sale. The Unclaimed Baggage Center also houses a museum which displays all of these oddities for visitors.

So the next time you take to the friendly skies, remember to put valuables, like a briefcase full of $1 million, a 40.95-carat natural emerald, or a Naval guidance system worth $250,000, in your carry-on baggage for safe keeping and label your checked baggage well. Then again, had these people done that, we never would have seen these amazing items in abandoned luggage.

What are the best things found in abandoned luggage? Take a look here and see for yourself, and vote up the most amazing finds.
