CaptainUnknown Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What is the locker situation at the parks? It looks like I'll be going next Wednesday with a park hopper. EDIT: also, I'm looking for good I-Drive mini-golf recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 They're not required, there's no real front gate entry process and you can walk to your car in like 2 minutes from anywhere in the park. I'm not sure if they have lockers or not, but why use them? As for mini golf... I love Congo River. I haven't played them all but I'm sure there are plenty of good ones. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAY ACTUAL MONEY TO PLAY GATOR GOLF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoasterKid211 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PAY ACTUAL MONEY TO PLAY GATOR GOLF. Excuse me, but Gator Golf is sacred. The fact that half the holes don't even have a way for the ball to get into them is sheer awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Actually yeah, I take that back. Go play Gator Golf and try to figure out how this sh*t works... Bonus points if you can locate the "Over 200 gators". I counted like 30... most of which were probably alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainUnknown Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 So I visited both Fun Spots on Wednesday and thought I'd do a quick photo trip report. Kissimmee: A fun little park that will benefit greatly from the addition of Mine Blower. Scorecard: Chaos Track x2 Vortex Track x2 Skycoaster x1 HOLY SH!T that was awesome. Surf's Up x1--Fun stand-up take on the Disk'o idea that works better than stand up coasters. Rockstar Energy Coaster x2 It's a spinning mouse, nothing I haven't done before, but credit #96 Paratrooper x1 Kiddie Coaster x1 (5 laps) Credit #97 Headrush 360 x2 Best flat ride at either park. Tilt-a-whirl x1 Crazy Couch x1 I was surprised at the short cycle this thing had--especially in comparison to all other attractions The Flyers were down, but they were Larson, so no big loss unless they were snappable. Orlando: A solid 1-2 punch with the coasters paired with a couple good flats and go-karts Scorecard: Freedom Flyer Regular x2 Credit #98 Freedom Flyer VR x1 Better without VR, but still a fun experience Space Invader x1 Love S&S Swings Rip Curl x1 Paratrooper x1 Miles better than the Kissimmee version, wasn't expecting the backwards section Enterprise x1 My first Schwartzkopf Enterprise was a fun experience until the Ride Op unloaded the car in front of mine, and rotated to another attraction, leaving me and my traveling companion stuck in our cars on the backside of the attraction for 10 minutes, trying to signal for help. Sea Serpent x1 (4 laps) Credit whoring leads to credit #99 Gator Spot x1 The 4 go-kart tracks x1 each Ferris Wheel x1 got some good pictures on it White Lightning x8-10 Deceptive in appearance, but a balls to the wall experience from lift to brakes. Also, CREDIT #100 It's upsetting that more people don't know about these parks. They're awesome and have some great growth potential. But I'm thankful that everything was either a walk-on or a single-cycle wait. I'm upset that neither location had a designated gift shop, so I couldn't acquire my fun spot hat Overall Rating: 7/10 Orlando overview taken from Congo River mini-golf. Thanks for the tip, Bill! Mine Blower rising. Kissimmee's S&S Swing awaiting reconstruction. OH SH!T I'm roadkill now. Psyke! Lift/drop construction Say Hello to Harvey. And his friends at Fun Spot's Gator Spot I Tawt I taw a putty tat! Bouya Pretty birdies A Sign of Greatness! Credit #100 Byotch! Universal and their Non-Dueling Dragons God help us, we're in the hands of engineers. Don't worry, be happy. Swoosh! Nyoom! Fly For Freedom! Hairtime! The Blur means it's fun! Brake Run upskirt shot for those who enjoy that sort of thing. I"m standing directly under the track without having to worry about anything hitting me in the face. Universal: here's the part where you take notes. Shiny. Deep fried Reese's. AKA: Diabeetus. And a sunset shot from the Coke store at Disney Springs to close out the trip. P.S. I hate Beverly.

thepoint4life23 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If you dont mind me asking how much was it to do both parks? I do not really see a two park ticket price so i didnt know how this all works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If you dont mind me asking how much was it to do both parks? I do not really see a two park ticket price so i didnt know how this all works. It's right here. It's $55.95 and includes everything but the Sky Coasters (yes, including Go Karts). I highly recommend it but I also sip the Fun Spot Kool Aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend it but I also sip the Fun Spot Kool Aid. While the Kool-Aid is damn good and about to be better when Mine Blower opens, the ticket Bill's looking at is the "either park + meal/souvenir drink cup" combo. The park-hopper is closer to $60 and is NOT available online. The park hopper + Skycoaster ticket I purchased was about $87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Think of all the money Fun Spot saved at Brookstone on a drone thanks to that 300 foot Sky Coaster... From the park's Facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The drop looks like it has quite a sharp angle! Looks fantastic. I LOVE seeing small parks like this grow with new coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgtlover Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'm ready to ride!!! This gives me an excuse to go to the Kissimmee park now. I was just at the Orlando park this past Saturday and would have loved for it to have been open so I could get my fill. Good things come to those who wait I guess.

BotanicalStig Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Can't wait to ride this. What a beautiful layout, there is just something about this style I love- it has that classic/boardwalk look and feel to it... With modern engineering and elements. I'm sure it will ride even better than it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'll be moving to California soon for work... While I'm certainly excited about my job out there, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that I won't be able to go back to either Fun Spot park for a while. Seven months until the IAAPA Attractions Expo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
