OSPREY – Dozens of theme parks have disappeared from Florida, some more interesting than others. One park in the Sarasota area was Floridaland.
It had various themes, including a dolphin show, and a prime location near Casey Key, now one of the most exclusive places to live on the West Coast of Florida.
Today at the intersection of Tamiami Trail and Blackburn Point Road is a plain old shopping center, but it once had a lovers lane and shows with chimps feeding dolphins.
Does anyone have memories of Floridaland they would like to share? Leave comments below.
