Here are some unusual buildings in the Kissimmi/Orlando area we saw when we visited Universal Studios in 2001.  (For Nurse Nancy S. ) Scanned in with my Lexmark All-In-One.

I don't remember the name of this building, but they had fun activities here like lazer tag, and as you walked by the outside to the entrance, they played creaking sounds on speakers that made it sound like it was about to fall on you!

FAO Swartz building in a mall in Kissimmi/Orlando.  My dh and daughter are sitting on Raggedy Ann's dress.

Guiness Book of World Records Museum.  (This is the building I was thinking of when I spoke of the Ripley's Belive It or Not Museum.)

The first one is Ripley's (or at least it was at some point). The closed the FAO Schwartz store, so I don't think they still have the toys out there. It was a neat store.
Sheila Deeth Jul 18, 2008, 3:10pm EDT
Amazing!
Matthew A. Nov 24, 2008, 9:13am EST
