Old Town Update: The Town is Coming Back to Life

Old Town has been through some quite difficult times. In the past few years, this small entertainment and shopping district lost almost all of its rides, attractions, and... charm. That being said, this once-great tourist attraction is slowly coming back to life thanks to a very important (and needed) revitalization project that includes a completely new entrance, new landscaping, refurbished public areas, new offerings, and more. Let's take a look around Old Town together, shall we?

The new Ferris Wheel is being installed next to the new entrance, which is still taking shape:

These photos were taken a few days ago. The wheel looks almost complete now.

The former drop tower is no more:





Younger (and smaller) trees are being planted in the middle of the walkways:







Some of the more mature trees are still in place:



We hope to see more original shops and offerings in the future:




Four flat rides have been installed near the very back of Old Town:



They belong to the neighboring Fun Spot America:

Some new, themed elements are slowly making their way into this park:




It looks very clean:




Head Rush is the park's newest addition:

It's great to see the Galaxy Spin sign again:




Galaxy Spin was the name of this coaster when it was located at the Cypress Gardens Adventure Park:
