Marco Polo Park: A Florida Attraction That Didn't Make It
Shortly before Walt Disney World opened in October 1971, I began to notice construction of a new theme park on the west side of I-95 north of Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach. It was Marco Polo Park, and I believe it opened a few months before Disney.
The developers of this park were probably counting on snaring some of the visitors traveling down I-95 on their way to Walt Disney World. They did okay for awhile but couldn’t compete with the Mouse and closed in 1975.
