Two brightly illuminated towers stretching up in the air 365 feet. If you are brave enough to do this ride it will cost you $25 (13 pounds 85 pence).

The old town combines good eating in the old town and great shopping this is were you can enjoy the theme parks during the day and the shops and the nightlife at night were you will see the big harley davidson bikes on a thusday night in the old town. As i remember on saturday you can watch over 300 classic cars from the 1972 eara and older this starts at 1.00pm This is were you can go on helicopter rides and airboat rides to see the everglades. There is always free shuttles from one off the hotels so you will be fine to get to all the theme parks during the day... Read review

Saturday Night Cruise is at 8:30pm down the main street with classic cars, hot rods, street rods, and antiques cars & trucks. The cars are on display from late afternoon. There is live 50's & 60's style rock-n-roll music from about 7:00 pm on the Main Stage. The car parking is FREE and no entry fee. There are plenty of specialist shops and a couple of bars. Its located on US192 near mile marker 9 Next to Old Town is the home to Skycoaster it's truly amazing! It is the world's tallest Skycoaster... Read review
