YES! I can't wait to ride this! Plus it's definitely something unique for Orlando. I'm really glad Fun Spot is going for this

Can't wait for this coaster! Great update Dave!

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the big update, Dave!

Lots of progress! Even the RVs for the steel coaster are already out there! Could they start testing soon? Nice job, FunSpot :thumbs: Looking forward to this expansion!

 

[Hockeyman55]

I'd imagine they would start testing testing the steel coaster pretty soon of they are mounting them onto the track already. I'm looking forward to this expansion also, will def get me out to Fun Stop for sure. Had there been any talk of rider height requirements for these coasters yet?

 

[Hatetofly]

48 inches on White Lightning and no word on Freedom Fighter. If you follow the manufacturer guidelines for the Vekoma though you must be between 44-78" tall to ride.

Thanks for the great pics, Dave! White Lightning is looking great, and once they put a few more layers of wood on the thickest parts of the track bed there should be steel going on. I need to get over there one day to just spend some time watching them build up the track.

[Hockeyman55]

Great update Dave! I like how you got some sooner in shots of the turns, gives a better idea of how much they are banked

How will/does ticketing work for this place? will it be pay per ride or pay for entrance?

You can pay per day or pay per ride. Also they have annual passes. Its free to get in and free to park. But you can bet pricing will go up once they open the new rides

Fun Spot has free admission and you pay tickets per ride, or a bracelet for all rides. If I am not mistaken, there's two different bracelets, one with and one without the go-karts. :thumbs:

EDIT: Flash Sperduto beat me to it, and with a link, nonetheless!

I just happened to be lucky and on here right after he asked

I'm starting to get confused with the SkyCoaster. Its obviously designed to have two swings, with the two bars at the top, and the one lift tower that is up angled to one side. Where is the other lift tower (that should be angled to the other side)? Its been almost a month, but it hasn't gone up.

They are only going to use one swing. But you are right that it is designed for 2. There is a problem with clearance on the second swing.
