Fun Spot America is an amusement park located on the International Drive in Orlando, Florida, USA. It is one of two theme parks in Central Florida with the Fun Spot name. The other park is located in Kissimmee.
History
The park opened on December 24, 1997 with multi-level go-kart tracks.
In late 2011, the park announced plans to work with waterslide manufacturer SplashTacular and open an adjacent waterpark named Fun Spot Waterpark. The plans never came to fruition.[1]
In 2013, the park reopened following a 15 acre expansion which included the three roller coasters, the Skycoaster, and a new entrance building.[2]
The park was closed from March 23 to May 21, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3][4]
