It looked intriguing from the highway, but we never ventured inside. Given what I've read in this article, it looks like we didn't miss much.

I'm a fan of kitschy roadside attractions, but Orlando seems to be more into the large scale high-tech roadside attractions, which just leaves no room for the little things. I'm more than a little confused about how the previous owners will be bulldozing the building, but that's not really my problem. Does anybody know if this is the same place used in the Rippley's Believe it or Not show a couple years ago? They look fairly similar, and I remember the fireballs, but they could be two different places.

I think that show, the one with Dean Cain, used the Ripley's museum in St. Augustine, which I think might be the original one. >>I saw on the Travel Channel about a Orlando attraction that looked like a upside down building - I did'nt get to see the whole episode - so I did'nt get to see what their attraction inside is - Does anyone know what I'm talking about? << That would be "Worlds of Wonder" on International Drive.
