Fun Spot America Kissimmee Report

By -
While in Florida for IAAPA, I was able to visit Fun Spot America in Kissimmee. Fun Spot Kissimmee is one of two Fun Spot parks in Florida. They are home to three roller coasters, many flat rides, go-karts, and the World's Tallest SkyCoaster.
Mine Blower
The star of the park is the Gravity Group wooden coaster, Mine Blower. This ride is incredible. It packs an insane amount of elements in its compact footprint, including an inversion!
The ride provides great air-time EVERYWHERE! The first drop has some insane airtime in the back row!
The inversion is a ton of fun, and this is actually where the On-Ride photo is taken!
This ride is really great. It is fun and intense, and is what I believe to be the best operating wooden coaster in Florida. That being said, the ride is quite rough. It is not an unbearable roughness, but I was expecting a smoother ride for a coaster that is less than a year old. But like I said, it is not too rough, and it did not stop me from riding 10 times throughout my visit!

Other Rides

The park has a good amount of flat rides too! In the above photo, you will see the parks drop tower.

The park has a Chance Rides YOYO swing too!

The sole inverting flat ride at the park is Headrush 360, which is a pendulum-type ride. This ride ran a great cycle, and was a ton of fun!


Fun Spot has four rides in the back of Old Town. These include a Tilt-a-Whirl, a Paratrooper, a Carousel, and a Skyline Attractions Crazy Couch. I did not ride any of them, but they looked fun!

I did not ride the 300 ft Skycoaster, but it looks CRAZY! It is located above water, and it seems like its gotta be NUTS!

I had a ton of fun on the parks Flying Skooters ride! They ran the ride quite quick, which allowed the tubs to fly pretty high, and even swing over the water! This was definitely the most surprising ride I rode here, as I wasn't expecting it to be so fun!

I forgot to take photos of Rockstar, which is the parks spinning coaster, but it was pretty fun. It is a standard Zamperla Spinning Coaster, but was quite smooth when compared to other Wild Mouse style rides.

Thanks For Reading!

Universal Studios Florida: Revenge Of The Mummy Production Tour

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
