There are also a variety of dining options along the Old Town streets including 8 restaurants and bars.

There are amusement rides for the whole family to enjoy as well as 18 thrill rides one of which is “The Human Slingshot“. It will catapult you 365 feet in the air with radical force and 100% adrenaline. Also the “Windstorm Roller Coaster” will have you twisting and turning through 80 degree banks. Have you ever raced upon a “multi-level go-cart track“? That is here too! If you want to slow things up a little, take a ride on the “Century Ferris Wheel” which will give a great view of Orlando from 60 feet in the air. Also there is “Fun Town” which is just for the kids and guaranteed to bring smiles. There are many rides for everyone but nothing beats having the whole family ride one of the many uniquely painted horses of the “Merry-Go-Round“. All of the rides are open 12pm-11pm daily.

Old Town has many special nights designated just for Car and Bike enthusiasts. On Thursday of every week is Bike Nite which averages 700 bikes each and every week.
