What is everyone's favorite water park in Orlando? Mine is easily Typhoon Lagoon! A lot of people really enjoy Wet 'n' Wild but it's got too much concrete for me. I prefer grass and sand!

Fun Spot Expansion

I don't know if any of you have been to either of the Fun Spot attractions (there is one on I-Drive and one in Kissimee on 192) but they are a good alternative to the theme parks (and a lot cheaper). It seems that the one on I-Drive is going to be getting a lot larger. According to Fun Spot's John Arie Jr. they are going to be adding two roller coasters, water rides, smaller thrill rides, a restaurant and more. The expansion is going to be done in two phases with the first phase having an opening date sometime in 2013.

It features a beer garden with craft beers from around the world, bbq (probably could've guessed that from the name) and some great concerts. The concert line-up for this year is:

Theme parks are not only good for enjoyment and rides, but some of the best food served at the restaurants are in these Theme Parks. Bull & Bear at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando on Bonnet Creek Resort Lane is known for the Best Steakhouse!
