Are these details incorrect?

1. Sheraton Studio City Hotel

A most distinctive 21-story circular hotel with an interior Deco-inspired design and lighting theme.
2. Skull Kingdom and a Chamber of Magic

Like a backdrop in an old horror movie, this funhouse takes the form of a spooky castle atop a giant skull. It’s even better lit up at night.
3. Florida Celebration Gift Shop

A replica of the space shuttle is bolted to the façade of this gift shop, which is actually completely unrelated to space exploration.
4. Bargain World

The doorway to this shop is straddled by a large flying saucer. Alighting from a nearby rocket-ship is a giant green Martian wearing casual clothes and holding a stick – no doubt to root out those bargains.
5. Sports Dominator

Giant, stern-faced effigies of sports people flank the entrance – one muscle-bound guy wearing tight pants looks like a reject from the Village People.
6. Between the Buns

Some describe it as an example of form-follows-function Programmatic architecture from the 1920s. Others just see it as a 25-ft- (8-m) long frankfurter.
7. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium

This place is built to look as if one of Florida’s sinkholes opened up and nearly swallowed the building.
8. SkyVenture

Take a close look at this blue and purple building and you might see people floating in front of you – look closer and you will see they are actually flying. (see Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour)
9. WonderWorks

As the marketing story goes, a tornado picked up this four-story building and sent it crashing upside down on top of a 1930s era brick warehouse. Silly perhaps, but it stops traffic.
10. Air Florida Helicopters

With flights starting at just $20 there’s no reason not to enjoy a panoramic birds-eye view over the city.
