Fun Spot Orlando Florida Parks have new supervision rule

Ahead of the busy Fourth of July weekend, a theme park with two locations in Central Florida is changing its visitor policies. And parkgoers are getting mixed reactions.

Fun Spot America Orlando and Kissimmee have implemented a new chaperone policy requiring all guests under the age of 21 to be accompanied by an adult 21 or older.

Where is Fun Spot America in Florida?

There are two Fun Spot America locations in Central Florida – 5700 Fun Spot Way in Orlando and 2850 Florida Plaza Boulevard in Kissimmee.

According to TripAdvisor, Kissimmee has one roller coaster, while Orlando has two. Otherwise, the other rides are similar, and both parks have a Kid Spot area just for younger children.

What are the supervision policies at Fun Spot America?

According to their website, anyone under the age of 21 must be accompanied by an adult who is at least 21 years old. This change is effective immediately and will remain in effect at Fun Spot parks in Orlando and Kissimmee until further notice.

Officials provided further details on social media, saying one chaperone can be responsible for up to two guests under the age of 21, although some exceptions can be made for pre-registered groups and large families.

Fun Spot will also close at least the south parking lot and entrance to its Orlando location.

Why does Fun Spot America implement the Supervisor Policy?

Fun Spot officials shared that this change comes ahead of the upcoming Fourth of July and summer season crowds, and said they want to provide a safe and fun experience for park visitors.

“(Our) priority has always been to provide our guests with a safe, clean and fun experience. As we prepare for the upcoming Fourth of July holiday week, one of Orlando's busiest tourism weeks of the year, we are preparing for higher visitor volumes at our parks,” a press release said.

Additionally, ClickOrlando said authorities got wind of a group planning an event on social media and had to stop it. A spokesperson told the outlet they could not provide the name of the group involved or where they saw the event.

‘Ridiculous and ageist’ guests react online to Fun Spot America’s supervision policies

After the new rules were posted on Facebook, over 150 commenters commented on the policy, with many wondering why the age limit was so high and why an 18-year-old would need a chaperone.

“So an adult at the amusement park needs another adult to hold his hand,” joked one commenter.

Others raised more detailed concerns about the rule, such as what single parents with more than two children or young parents under the age of 21 might do. Some even told of older adults causing more chaos in the parks than teenagers.

However, others praised the theme park's decision and said it would make them feel safer on future visits, with some adding that they would not have implemented the initiative if it had not been truly necessary.

“Thank you Fun Spot for making your park family friendly! I can't wait to come back and enjoy the rides without having to worry about large groups of unruly, unsupervised teenagers,” wrote one commenter.
