ORLANDO ATTRACTIONS
A News page for the Orlando’s areas other Minor Attractions and Resort properties
 Central Florida News - (11/18/09) Gatorland is revamping their Jumparoo show, where the Aligators leap into the air for tasty meaty objects. Seems the retired all the old jumpers in favor of bringing in a group of younger hungry gators.
(11/5/09) Behind the Thrills takes the time to chat with Kyle and Stacy as they wrap up their amazing 67 Days of Smiles tour of the Orlando area attractions. The live interview will take place on Nov. 5th, from 8 to 8:45 EST.
(11/4/09) The final showdown in the Tournament of Champions starts now… will the last ride standing be Montu or Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror? Only you can decide.
(10/29/09) The next semi-final round in the Tournament of Champions is now live, putting Montu against Manta. We’re nearing the end at last here, with the final four soon to become the final two standing. If I was a betting man, I’d wager we’ll see Montu VS Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror in the end.
(10/26/09) It’s time for the semi finals to begin at the Tournament of Champions. Today it’s the two shining stars of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in a battle to the death… Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror VS Rock ‘n Roller Coaster: Starring Aerosmith.
(10/20/09) Good news for Orlando… The Improv comedy club will be opening a new location in Pointe Orlando in Spring 2010. This is great news, as a good comedy club is what I always thought Orlando needed when I was living there. Disney had the Comedy Warehouse of course, but we’ve seen them stupidly ignore that facility and shut it down along with the rest of the old Pleasure Island clubs for no good reason. Honestly, Disney could have made a killing with a good comedy club on site, Pleasure Island or not… but Disney’s loss is Pointe Orlando’s gain. More power to them!
In the meantime, if your into warfare games but don’t care for the sting of paintball, Orlando now has a perfect place for you. It’s called Hard Knocks, and it features an arsenal of more realistic looking and sized laser tag weaponry used normally for military and SWAT team training sessions. Even better are the arenas… as this isn’t a UFO themed little room with black lights you’ll be fighting in. Hard Knocks features two different arenas… one themed like a realistic warehouse environment and the other looking more like your typical Office environment, complete with cubicles. Check out all the details at the official website.
(9/30/09) Anyone who happens to still have their Cypress Gardens annual pass, don’t tear it up yet, as Fantasy of Flight will honor it for the remainder of the term.
later, a rockin’ showdown of the soundtracks should be especially interesting.
(9/17/09) Remember the old Dixie Stampede building? You know, the one they sold off to the mall and closed the show down for… only to have the deal to sell the building fall through several months later. Yeah… that mansion looking building just off I-4. You’ll never guess what it is going to be used for now… a Flea Market. Yep… take a look at the picture here. How sad…
