Fun Spot America Orlando Report

By -
Fun Spot America Orlando is one of two Fun Spot properties in Florida. The park is home to three roller coasters, multiple flat rides, and a 250ft tall Skycoaster. A nice change from the major parks in Orlando, admission to the park is free. Rides are either pay-per-ride or included on an all-day wristband! The park is also home to a large arcade filled with tons of games! One of the coolest features of this park is GatorSpot, which is a section created with GatorLand and has actual living alligators to look at! With all of this in mind, let's get onto the rides!

White Lightning
White Lightning is the gem of this park. Standing at almost 70ft tall, this amazing coaster from Great Coasters International (GCI) contains a plethora of airtime, and multiple banked turns, twisting you all around! Despite its small size, White Lightning is INTENSE! GCI really packed a lot into a small layout.
Here's a photo of the rides turnaround. With a bank of 90 degrees, riders are sure to feel the intensity.
This photo shows off one of the many airtime hills packed into this ride.

Freedom Flyer
Freedom Flyer is the parks Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster. This coaster provides fun for all ages, as it's intense enough for thrill seekers but mild enough for families. The lap bar only trains provide a smooth ride for all to enjoy.

Flat Rides
Fun Spot Orlando is also home to many flat rides! The Enterprise, shown above, was originally "Wheelie" at Six Flags Over Georgia. When Six Flags retired the ride, Fun Spot saved it from the scrap yard.

Fun Spot is also home to a classic Paratrooper ride, which they run at a crazy speed, both forward and backwards. Honestly, this is the best Paratrooper I've ever ridden!

Rip Curl is a Musik Express style ride that runs both forwards and backwards. This one was a lot of fun, and looks to have a really cool light package for nighttime.

Space Invader is an S&S Screaming Swing. This model features eight seats, and swings riders like a giant swing set. This is a great ride, and my only complaint is that the ride cycle is too short.

The park also has a Scrambler ride, aptly named "ScramBlur." I didn't ride it, but everyone I saw riding it looked like they were having fun.

SkyCoaster
Fun Spot Orlando is also home to the "World's Largest Skycoaster". Sister park, Fun Spot Kissimmee is home to the "World's Tallest" This is 250ft of pure adrenaline, built for only the biggest thrill seekers. It was quite a rush!

          
Check out my SkyCoaster video from February!


Go Karts
Fun Spot America Orlando is home to four different Go-Kart tracks, all of which are unique when compared to other tracks. The multi-level element was very cool, and the steep drops were insanely thrilling!

    

I only rode one Go Kart track, but it was a ton of fun! Totally recommend checking them out!

I had such a great time at Fun Spot Orlando, and really enjoyed everything that they had to offer! I definitely recommend visiting Fun Spot Orlando, as it is a great park for families and thrill seekers alike!

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
