  • Fun Spot America- Orlando is an amusement park just down the road from the Universal Orlando Resort. This park features several multi-level go-kart tracks and a trio of roller coasters, including White Lightning (GCI wood coaster). This park evolved from a standard FEC into a full-fledged amusement park over the past decade, and now it's the perfect nightcap on an Orlando trip.

    I can't speak for other Fun Spot employees, but they treat me like gold. I never feel taken for granted, marginalized or less than. The owner and higher ups put in work just like the regular team members. In fact, we were building a Tilt-A-Whirl 2 weeks ago in Atlanta and the owner was right there with us operating the heavy equipment and putting in wrench time to get the job done. He's all in, all the time. Fun Spot is a fantastic place to work and they don't skimp on pay and perks. It's hard, hot work (that's why it's work), but it can still be a blast! I sometimes want my days off to end so I can go to back to work. I know that's not exactly the point of your video, I'm just trying to add a bit of insight.

    I hope more Fun Spot parks pop up around the country. I am a sucker for Go-Karts and they did not disappoint. White Lightning was a fun little GCI and wonderful for any small park. I didn't do the Skycoaster, those are rides that will make me crap my pants.

    The go kart tracks are more aggressive with their slopes at the other fun spot, but this fun spot has higher quality attractions in general and MUCH better of a woodie than the other one. I also prefer the 2nd coaster at this park than the wild mouse at the other one. This fun spot is much better and you get better value here!

    I haven't been to any fun spot parks, but I will say going to an amusement park for 2-3 hours at the end of the day after lots of fun somewhere else is always a good way to end the day. Did that about a week ago with Cedar Point after spending time at Put In Bay

    This is such a great small place for coming if you want to spend some cash after a day of work or something. A GCI that I kinda found overrated but is still very cool how they fit it in, a Vekoma Suspended coaster, the go karts are also fun cause the ygo a half decent speed, and the best part is they have a revolutionary legend that should never of been leaving the industry, and that's the enterprise, great job for keeping that thing going.

    What do you think, in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, when you visited both the Orlando park and the Kissimmee park, did you like both parks and visits in all those years and which one did you prefer?

  • @OklahomaCoasterFan
    @OklahomaCoasterFan 2 года назад

    I also now prefer the Orlando location. Hurricane is a nice # 1 coaster for Kissimmee, but White Lightning is better. Their season pass sale around Thanksgiving has been a great deal. Their late hours and short lines made that season pass a no-brainer. It makes for a great ending to a day at a big Orlando park.

    • @CanobieCoaster
