Orlando Fun Park Visit

[Tiermann]

Yes I have noticed all the big animals.  I have never been particularly interested in getting any of the giant figures, but I really would like one of the animals, a small one at least. A chicken, squirrel, dragon, whatever. 

The rescue scene is great. I really like the seagull going after the bread that's floating away.

My wife and I were in Florida 3 weeks ago, and the Orlando Fun Park closed the week before our trip.......I was REALLY bummed, I'd been looking forward to going

... the Orlando Fun Park closed the week before our trip ...

Hello, Ben ...

Is it closed permanently? Or, are they remodelling, or is the Florida Mall closed for renovations?

All the best,
Richard

Richard,

it isn't permanantly closed.  THANK GOODNESS!  Just closed for renovations.  I am a bit depressed too because I will be in Orlando around Easter.  I don't even have enough time to jet down to the W. Palm Beach one either.

Thanks for the info, Hoppatussa ...

It's less than a three hour drive from Orlando to North Palm Beach Gardens.
What if you got a really early morning start? ...

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

Actually, they closed it because they couldn't come to agreement with the landlord about their lease on the building........word is that they will re-open it shortly, though I'm not sure if it will be in the same building or not. 

I was bummed, as Amy and I had stayed in St Pete's Beach and wanted to drive to Orlando to check out the store and do some shopping;)  But, after seeing how bad the traffic was around St Petersburg, I was OK with not having to make the drive to Orlando;)

Thanks for the update, Ben ...

I just looked at the Florida Mall Directory and Playmobil doesn't seem to be listed. Florida Mall has over 200 stores and is the largest shopping center in Central Florida.

It would be interesting if Playmobil were to open a real theme park in Orlando, rather than just a shopping mall store. I wonder if they will?

Thanks again, Ben.

All the best,
Richard

Now THAT would be call for another vacation!!!!

Just imagine, a life-size train to ride, an old Western Saloon, Roman Ship coming into harbor, etc etc!!

The possibilities are endless!!

Thanks Richard, that confirms the rumors about another store opening there eventually.
