Hurricane season is over, but visitors to Fun Spot Kissimmee can still ride one.
The theme park held a contest to name it’s new roller coaster, and according to the Fun Spot website, the ride is called “Hurricane” and the winner was listed at Savannah K.
Fun Spot America Theme Parks is adding more excitement to its Kissimmee location with the addition of the Hurricane, a custom layout E&F Miller Industries Hi-Miler steel roller coaster.
“I scream, you scream we all scream for more roller coasters,” said Fun Spot America CEO and owner John Arie Jr. “We are pleased to announce the construction of our fourth roller coaster in Kissimmee and newest scream machine that will be perfect for our thrill-seeking family audience,” John Arie Jr. said.
According to the website, in naming the ride, Fun Spot was looking for classic American fun, Florida life, legends, traditions and culture and safe, clean family-fun entries.
The winner, not only has the bragging rights for naming the coaster—they also got two Fun Spot 2020 Season Passes and the opportunity to be among the first to ride it.
“The third time is a charm for this roller coaster as it is resurrected at Fun Spot America after having been relocated from Celebration City and Wild Adventures prior to arriving in Kissimmee, Florida. The coaster will be over five stories tall, features a triple out and back layout of over 1,300 feet and has seating for 6 riders per train. We have a similar Hi-Miler coaster at Fun Spot Atlanta so we know, with a 42 inch minimum height requirement, it will be fun for the whole family.”
Old Town General Manager Thearon Scurlock said, “Fun Spot America Kissimmee’s new roller coaster will add additional thrills to an already vibrant family atmosphere in Old Town Kissimmee,” said “Daytime or nighttime, safe clean fun is always affordable at Old Town Kissimmee.”
