Boardwalk and Baseball Theme Park, Florida -- From 1989

[@bigbry2203]

I'm from the UK, visited the park in 88 and 89, it was such a great park. Can't believe it was only open 3 years, must have cost millon$.

[@DashDrones]

Same, so weird 88 and 89..

[@blindbat6]

I remember going there when I was about 8. Had a blast.

[@blondegirl214]

this park was great. It had the best rides, and there were never any lines. One time we went, my family had the whole park to ourselves, lol :)

[@DashDrones]

Same when I went there. Amazing times, but no queues meant no business. Very sad

[@TC-uy8ng]

I binge rode the Florida Hurricane over and over and didn't even have to get off. Glorious times! Every time I drive on I-4 and go past Hwy 27, I still think about that park to this very day.

[@briank4621]

I went there a couple times in 1989, I was just 22 years old at the time. It was a nice park, but in a bad location, the park was almost always dead. It was great because you could ride the Hurricane roller coaster over and over again. I ended up appraising the equipment and fixtures that were left on the property in 2000. It was really eerie walking through there again, gives me the creeps just thinking about it again lol.

Man, I would have loved to have one of those B&B plaques from the front of the log flumes!

[@DashDrones]

I loved that place, you could sit on the log flume all day long, no queues. Just the best

[@RomanJockMCO]

wow u guys went on a dead day. used to love this park. too bad it's gone. thanks for posting. Jake

[@rayatayde227]

I went there in March of 1989. It was controlled liberty weekend the last week of Navy boot camp. I remember it as the best time I've had at any theme park. Sad to know that it's gone as is the Orlando Naval Training Center.

I met a girl there and we played all day. We were 8 years old and 2 days away on birthdays. I always wondered what happened to her. I remember they were visiting FL and I lived 20 minutes away from the park. My Dad took us boys all the time and we could just roam wherever we wanted. We had a landmark to meet at a certain time. The good old days.

[@imlostinmyhead]

I went there for my 7th grade class trip. The first roller coaster I ever rode was there, the "Double O".

[@curbyourseinfeld]

The double O was awesome.

[@jaysonsmith9542]

I was there in May of 1989, spring training was going on and I was in heaven. Can't believe that place is gone

[@travelshorts]

This was from October 1989, I can remember some baseball training going on.

[@EdgardBermudez]

Now its a huge shopping Mall called Posner Park. All the forest you see when he records way up high is 95% all gone with homes ( I live there) and HWY27 is parking lot with traffic to the I4 to Orlando now....

[@-Ricky_Spanish-]

I went there in YMCA summer camp that year. I remember it very vividly even though I was only 9 or 10. My "buddy" refused to go on any rides because he was scared of everything, so I ditched him to go on the Hurricane and the Double-O. I didn't care much about baseball so I wasn't that crazy about most of the park, but the rides were fun at the time (they would probably seem tame today).

[@carlawolf8769]

I worked the Professir Bubbles show and when it closed worked at Dance USA....I loved every minute!

[@FrnkEzee]

Ahhh the memories, I was there in March of 1989. It was the time of my life at the age of 18!

[@archiededios3474]

I was there back in 1989, and was a bit traumatized from that flume ride, and my mom was traumatized from a looping roller coaster. I miss that place, it seemed to be a "Discounted Disneyworld". Good night....and big baseballs!

[@cyrbuzz6615]

Had it held in there it may have had a better future today. The area has grown so much since those days.

[@seabrook1976]

I went there that year. Felt like I was in heaven.

[@DaveFrostdusk]

Used to go here all the time as a kid. The reason we loved it so much ultimately led to its demise. There was never any crowds which meant no lines. We actually left Disney one time after paying for 4 tickets because it was just too crowded and came here instead.

[@stingfan003]

I'm ever going to Berwick baseball me and my father and my mother and my brother Steven it was a great theme park I miss it

[@psylocke2001]

went here with my brownie troop around the time it first opened

[@tammymontchal2268]

If you listen closely at 0:00, you can hear the video starting.

[@WillyM79]

The memories

[@DaveFrostdusk]

It's funny, they used to have a Wild West Stunt Show here and after they closed up, that same show (with a bit more money thrown into it) was picked up by Universal. It is now gone from Universal as well. I believe it is the Fear Factor stage now or something. I know Bill and Ted at Halloween Horror Nights is where it was.

[@BadErnest]

I remember riding that log flume with my older brother and sister and my brother released one of the foulest farts I’ve ever experienced. We were all laughing so hard as we were floating along the top because it smelled so bad. Summer of 1988 I think.

[@billwilson3792]

Dam what a shame!!! I went to this place the day it opened. FREAKY!!! to see it abandoned like that. Yea like the comment below there wasn't any lines

[@Diggerdog2nd]

You have the wrong year as the opening. My girl friend & I went there in October of 1985.

[@sifakalemur4162]

+Diggerdog2nd It was called "Circus World " in 1985. Boardwalk and Baseball opened in 1987.

[@joannestealey4482]

Shame it's gone

[@travelshorts]

Yes it is, would love to go back there if it still existed.

[@redique]

Its funny how that there was a lot of parks like this in florida and they all died out while disney and universal get more popular by the second well I guess they need their "theme" parks meaning with a lot of theme in it making it beautiful

[@dcole1933]

I preferred it over disney.

[@travelshorts]

👍

[@Kens1911s]

Now a shopping center, SAD!

[@travelshorts]

Yes it is, would love to go there again.

[@beansandcornbread]

There is no god.
