Fun Spot Breaks Ground on Expansion Project
Officials gathered yesterday afternoon on International Drive for a groundbreaking ceremony at Fun Spot that will see the popular amusement park adding a large new section to its facility.
Once complete, the $20 million expansion project will be the first major upgrade in 15 years for the attraction owned by the Arie Family. The expansion plan sees the addition of two new roller coaster rides and a new go-cart track as well as other smaller attractions.
Importantly, the expansion will bring additional jobs to I-Drive. “We plan to add more than 100 jobs to the local economy… from ride attendants to maintenance personnel, management teams and supervisors… from beginning salary all the way up to executive salary” said Chief Operating Officer John Aire Jr. (Pictured below right)
Construction crews have been hired and work will now start in earnest. Check back here regularly for updates.
