According to a news release, Fun Spot Orlando’s tea cups ride will be replaced with a silly and colorful tea cups attraction, and in the weeks to follow, an SBF-Visa Group 50-foot tower planes ride called Mach Fun, the tallest interactive 360° flying jet ride in North America. Guests will experience barrel rolls and spiraling dives while spinning and soaring through the air.

In Kissimmee, there’s an exciting new SBF-Visa Group Swing Around ride in the Kids Spot section. Designed for younger guests, this classic swing will remind people of a beautiful sunny day.
