Fun Spot America

This guide to Fun Spot America in Orlando follows a steel arch that once flung riders three hundred feet above a Las Vegas casino floor, then sat dismantled in storage for eight years after that entertainment complex closed. It traces how go-kart operator John Arie, who had spent decades building small tracks along International Drive, went looking for something bigger around 2004 and found that forgotten ride. He trucked the pieces east and set the crew to rebuilding it on the spot where it stands today.
