Fun Spot continues to expand, despite tough economy

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

The 10-acre Fun Spot in Kissimmee, which COO John Arie says draws 1 million visitors a year, opened in 2008 with two go-cart tracks and three rides. Now it has four kart tracks, a roller coaster, 20 rides and 60 arcade games, "and we're not done yet," said Mark Brisson, Fun Spot's marketing director.

The go kart tracks at their Kissimmee location are insane. Only go kart track I've ever seen with a drop!

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area is the craziest go karts I have ever been. The price is reasonable and the tracks have spiral drops, and as a bonus you even leave with wood splinters all over your clothes from the track surface tearing up.

Mt. Olympus used to have a track that featured a triple-down (Medusa's Drop, I think?). If you had a kart that had any engine at all, you could actually catch a little bit of airtime coming off that thing. It was absolutely blissful....but has since been removed.
