A.J. Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 That was during IAAPA. Pretty sure they weren't the only company there. A testament to just how great the little park is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFOG1991 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I would love to see a Vekoma stingray in the US This is my favorite of the more realistic options so far! I hate getting my hopes up but that would be a really great addition to the park. I'm sure whatever they do will be impressive though. So far they have yet to disappoint.

StealthFan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I don't think I would have an issue with any of the suggestions being installed at the park. If I had to narrow it down to one I would like to see an El Loco. I really enjoyed Mumbo Jumbo and think it would suit the park really well.

fraroc Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 From my POV, it could be one of three things. 1. A New Vekoma Boomerang 2. An S&S El Loco 3. A Premier Sky Rocket II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chargersmichael Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ^Oh I hope it is anything but a Vekoma Boomerang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 ^^ I would love to see a S&S El Loco! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 S&S 4D Free Fly. An El Loco would be fun, of course, but the 4D Free Fly is just balls-to-the-wall crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 A Maurer Sky Loop would be unique. X Coaster at Magic Springs is the only one in the U.S.. Sure would be better than a Vekoma boomerang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That was during IAAPA. Pretty sure they weren't the only company there. Where did I state they were the only ones there? All I said was "you never know" You never said, but the context of your post certainly implied it... Fun Spot hosted a "facility tour" that included unlimited rides, food, and booze. It's safe to say they weren't the only manufacturer there...so I guess anything is possible because reps from ride companies visited the park!

DILinator Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ok, this is my new front-runner for Fun Spot's 2016 coaster! Apparently, the rumor is that there were two ordered for 2016, so it would make sense if Fun Spot were to be the second one! I think it'd be a great addition for the park, personally!

I'm LOVING this rumor more and more!!! I can also see the PR for Fun Spot saying not only do we have the only wooden coaster in Orlando, we also have a coaster with the Steepest Drop in Orlando.

thepoint4life23 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 So I will Be at Disney the week after Thanksgiving one night i would like to Hit up Fun Spot for a few Hours. How Far is Funny Spot from Say Disney Springs, also can i get a Huber from Disney to the park and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xVicesAndVirtues Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 ^Disney to Fun Spot is a good 20 minute drive in times of no traffic. Fun Spot is in the general area closer to Universal. During the city's busier traffic times, typically 4PM-7PM on weekdays, it can take an hour or more. Assuming that you mean Uber, being a large city with a large tourism population, you can pretty much Uber anywhere in Orlando to any other part of Orlando. Thanksgiving week itself can get a little bit busy, but the week following shouldn't be too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Coleman Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Went and hit fun spot for white lightning the first time on Friday and wow was I impressed. Wasn't very long but was just packed with action from beginning to end. Would have loved to have gotten more than one ride if it wasn't nine bucks a ride.

Totally agree about White Lightning being impressive. It is without doubt the best woodie in Florida haha. I share your thoughts about the prices at the park as well. When I visited we didn't go until late in the evening and it was still full price for a wristband and instantly showed me why a park that was open so late was almost deserted at that time. If prices were a bit lower I could imagine the park being packed in the evenings. Edited November 23, 2015 by StealthFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If prices were a bit lower I could imagine the park being packed in the evenings. Last week was my first visit to the new Fun Spot (did the Go Karts 10 years ago) and I have to say that I was really impressed! Honestly the wristband isn't a bad deal if you spend enough time to hit enough of the attractions. We did two of the Go Kart tracks, the enterprise, a couple of laps on the Freedom Flyer, a couple more on White Lightning (we had the train to ourselves---multiple dispatches with no problems!), the kiddie coaster credit, the screamin swing, kiddie rides with Jacob, and the skycoaster twice in a few hours! The staff were super friendly and always quick to run to whatever ride we wanted to operate. I wish we had something like this closer to me in the valley here in L.A.

During the city's busier traffic times, typically 4PM-7PM on weekdays, it can take an hour or more. What?!?!? It would NEVER take "an hour or more" to get to Fun Spot! Worst case scenario if there is traffic on I-4, you can either take Turkey Lake Rd or Apopka Vineline to Sand Lake and then a left on I-Drive. At the MOST it may take you like 30-35 minutes during peak times to get from the farthest point of Disney property to Fun Spot. There are so many different ways to get around Orlando when there is traffic that if it took you "an hour or more" to get from Disney to Fun Spot, you have made some serious wrong turns!

Yeah, I even got caught in Interstate 4's slow-moving traffic on my way there from Walt Disney World property the other day, and it still only took me about 25 minutes.

Hilltopper39 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Bet you can't make that drive in 25 minutes this Friday....... (traffic around those outlets can be a nightmare at times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love pie Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Is it just me, or does the robot on top of freedom flyer's station remind me of liberty prime? Also I went here, and white lightning is awesome! So much air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Finally got to visit the park a few weeks back. I was really impressed at the park, and especially the employees! They were all really great, friendly, and as we were leaving one of them even remembered Jacob's name and yelled bye to him!
