Top 10 Eye-Openers on I-Drive
-
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.
