 Park News - (11/28/2024) Another quick video update from Fun Spot Orlando has been posted by Kingdakev who reports that the new Kiddie Teacups ride is now open, and a sign promoting ‘new fun’ coming to Fun Spot Orlando has been put up over the sign for the park’s Enterprise ride, which seems to indicate that it may be removed soon to add the new Mach Fun attraction. It has also been discovered that the park’s Enterprise ride is also now listed as being for-sale on the used ride market.
(11/17/2024) It looks like several of the new rides announced for the Fun Spot Orlando and Fun Spot Kissimmee have arrived and are sitting in the Orlando park’s overflow parking lot this week.
Check out the video posted by Kingdakev below for a look, including the discovery that the new Tea Cup ride has already been installed in the park. It just hasn’t been opened yet. Thanks to Kingdakev for sending Screamscape the update!
(11/12/2024) Fun Spot America has announced that they will be adding a total of five new rides in 2025 across their three parks. All five rides are SBF-Visa Group creations, and all were purchased from the recently closed The Funplex location in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Fun Spot Orlando will receive a new Tea Cups ride, which will replace the park’s existing Tea Cups attraction along with the introduction of a Mach Fun tower, which is said to be the tallest interactive 360º Flying Jet Ride in North America.
Fun Spot Kissimmee is adding the Swing Around in the Kids section of the park, along with Up and Overboard, an inverted pendulum thrill ride.
Finally, Fun Spot Atlanta will add the golf-themed Hook & Slice family friendly thrill ride.
(8/12/2024) A reader sent in a couple of links showing off a couple of rides that the Fun Spot parks in Orlando have currently listed as being up for sale over at IRM Rides.
At the Kissimmee location, they’ve put their Chance Yo-Yo up for sale for $168k or Best Offer and the Orlando location has put their Schwarzkopf Enterprise up for sale for $275k or Best Offer. Currently both rides are still listed as active attractions at both locations.
(6/29/2024) Chaperone policies became very common at theme parks throughout the nation during the peak-pandemic years, inspired by numerous problems with misbehaving youth. Typically parks who put them into place did not allow unattended minors to visit a park without a designated chaperone for the group. Sometimes this was a rule to be enforced on select days, or sometimes just something put in place for the later afternoon and/or evening hours, but those rules would vary from location to location. Throughout the numerous policies and locations, it is worth mentioning that the definition of who is deemed to be a minor (-16? -18? -21 years?) vs who is qualified to be an official guardian or chaperone (18+? 21+?) as well as how many minors are allowed per chaperone ended up creating quite a mixed bag of potential options that you might encounter.
Until now, Orlando’s many attractions opted to stay away from putting a Chaperone policy in place, and likely just increased their security efforts, but that is now changing at a few Orlando area attractions. Fun Spot America announced that effective immediately at their Orlando and Kissimmee locations, anyone under the age of 21 must be accompanied by an adult aged 21+, with each chaperone able to oversee just two underage guests at a time.
