Lost Florida Attractions: Fun While They Lasted
There were many tourist attractions scattered around the state that are fondly remembered even though they finally failed and closed their doors. Quite often they were the victims of the success of Walt Disney World and other major theme parks that opened in the 1970s and later.
Other times they were bypassed by the rerouting of traffic along new highways like the Florida Turnpike, I-95, I-75, and I-4. Here are some of these attractions from my alleged memory and the pages of Florida history.
