As a coaster enthusiast I am never too proud to hop on a kiddie coaster no matter how small.



 These little E&F Miler coasters are a ton of fun that are a great way to get the little ones into the world of rollercoasters.



Ok what was the most terrifying thing at Fun Spot Kissimmee?  The Go-Karts scared the crap out of me. 



Namely it was the worlds steepest go-karts with the "Vortex" banked bowl section of track.  What happens is the first half of the track is winding your way to the top of a tower.  Once up there you gain some speed and then start down the steepest drop which ends on the banked bowl.  By the bottom of the hill your car is rocketing and then as soon as you hit the rubbed smooth track of the bowl your back end shoots around and no matter if you like it or not you are drifting around this curve like a pro.  This elicited a colorful metaphor or two each time I sped around it.



There was so much fun to be had at Fun Spot Kissimmee that I really didn't want to go.



Mine Blower did suck me in for one more lap in the back seat before the road and the second Fun Spot park called to me.



In the end I absolutely loved Fun Spot Kissimmee.  They have a super friendly staff who were really going out of their way to make sure the few of us in the park were having a good time.  The rides were fun and Mine Blower is certainly the star of the show.  To those in Florida who have this in their backyard I am jealous because it is that much fun.  Maybe when I visit my folks next year I'll speed back over to get some pizza for my parents as well as taking a few spins on Mine Blower.

If you plan on visiting both Fun Spot parks you can purchase a one day combo pass.  It was something like $10 more.  Just make sure to let the ticket person know and they will take care of you.
