Florida: The Lost Attractions
By Gail Nettles


Rv Hire Uk
Spectacular scenery, beautiful beaches, delightful countryside and a warm welcome in quaint towns and villages, are just some of the many experiences that the UK has to offer the many visitors to its shores each year. There are theme parks and national parks, museums and countless places of interests that all need to be explored. Steeped in history you can visit a castle one day and then take in the delights of Buckingham Palace the next. Along the coast there are some charming little seaside towns and delightful fishing harbours. To fully explore the country a recreation vehicle will be needed and Rv Hire Uk is readily available. Families or couples can hire an rv and they`ll be free to head off to where they like. The vehicles provided by the Rv Hire Uk firm are all modern examples of luxury motor homes. Inside they are packed with creature comfforts to make life on the road a breeze. You can head from one location to the next in your Rv Hire Uk and be free to sample the many charms that Great Britain has to offer. Whether you want to hit the beaches in Newquay or sample country life in Yorkshire you`ll receive a warm welcome wherever you go.

Blackpool Hotels
I`ve had some memorable experiences in Blackpool over the years and when I was a young buck it would be a favourite party venue where I, along with a group of my mates, would enjoy the non-stop action. When you arrive in Blackpool you are greeted by the familiar seaside attractions that UK coastal resorts tend to offer and you are spoilt for choice for places to stay as there are countless guest houses and Blackpool Hotels to pick and choose from. I`ve actually lost count of the amount of Blackpool Hotels that I`ve stayed in both in the luxury and budget categories. In actual fact it`s perfectly possible to find a cracking bed and breakfast establishment that proves to be warm, welcoming and not too hard-hitting on the wallet. Many groups head to the Lancashire resort for hen or stag weekends and it`s easy to see why when you take in the local nightlife and all of the fun activities that can be taken part in during the day. If you like kiss-me-quick hats, fish and chips, seafood and rock, bustling Blackpool should be one location that you put on your ?places to visit` list. The list of Blackpool Hotels that you can stay in is simply massive and they cater for everyone`s taste.

When you say Florida, what comes to most people`s minds?

Orlando and Disney World.

But what happens when you`ve visited Disney, Universal and Sea World? Is there anything else to do? How about visiting some of the smaller attractions - the ones that get tend to get lost in the shuffle.

Lost? Where Did They Go?

Before "The Mouse" arrived in Florida, there were attractions that we Floridians enjoyed. Smaller, with few or no thrill rides, but high in satisfaction. Some of these attractions withered away after Disney, but many of them adapted and flourished. Let`s take a look at a few of these survivors.

Central Florida

As you might guess, many of these smaller attractions are in the Central Florida area, an easy commute from Disney. Some of these attractions include:

  • Busch Gardens: My personal favorite of all the lost attractions. Easily explored in a full day, it has an African safari theme. From huge roller coasters, to water rides to a trip through an African savannah, there is something for everyone.
  • Gatorland: I visited Gatorland a million times as a child. Okay, maybe not exactly a million, but it was a popular destination for school field trips B.D. (Before Disney). There are alligators galore and fun shows to watch.
  • Cypress Gardens: This lost attraction really was lost for awhile -- it had closed its doors, with no intention of re-opening. But miracles do happen, because Cypress Gardens is back and more wonderful than ever! It`s more than just a garden by the way -- there are myriad shows and even some thrill rides.

North Florida

There are a ton of small attractions in North Florida, and pretty much all of them reside in St. Augustine. Here are a few of them for your consideration:

  • Fountain of Youth: More historic than anything, it is the site of the original Fountain of Youth - the one of the legend. When you visit, you can drink from the spring`s waters. Does it work? I`ll have to leave that to you.
  • Ripley`s Believe it or Not: This was the first of all the Ripley`s museums, and perhaps the best. All kinds of oddities abound. It is fun and well worth a visit.
  • Potter`s Wax Museum: Who know who you`ll run into at this lost attraction? From historic figures to celebrities, the waxworks are a great way to spend an hour or two.

Where Are Some Others?

Lost attractions can be found all over Florida, from the Panhandle to the Keys; you just have to know where to find them. For more information on these Florida wonders, visit http://www.great-florida-vacations.com/florida-attractions.html
