Fun Spot--Major Expansion

[71jason]

A legit 65-foot-high wooden coaster, a mini water park, a 120-foot Ferris wheel...

Look, the place has the kind of sketchy, "carny" feel that Walt sought to avoid with DL. But this is pretty big, curious if it can revive north I-Drive somewhat.

Where exactly is Fun Spot??? Is that the place over by Old Town???

No, this is the one off of I-Drive north, on your way to Festival Bay Mall.

Technically both the I-Drive and 192 locations are "Fun Spot"--same company. This is the one (kind of) at Kirkman and I-Drive, tho it's actually a block back from both. Currently has a couple go-kart tracks, maybe 10 rides you'd expect to see at a carnival/state fair, and a smallish arcade.

It has a following--go on a weekend, can be hard to park, but the whole place just feels sketchy to me. And if you go on a weekday, it feels like there's only one attendant, running each ride one at a time. Currently it's free admission, pay by the ride, or get a wristband for unlimited rides.

Thanks Jason... I been over by Kirkman once, when i had to drive a friend home who lives over by MetroWest and she told me to take Kirkman to the highway to get back to Disney.... I don't remember seeing Fun Spot though... Honestly, I never did look for it either...

Windseeker is also being built in Cedar Fair... Pretty sure, looking at the diagrams, it is the same exact swing ride...
