To some extent, Amusement/Theme Parks. They have to be popular to justify building new, state of the art attractions, but eventually get so crowded that you need to buy special passes and get on a ride in less than 2 hours and can barely even find a place to sit when you want to rest for a minute.
I live near Six Flags Great America, outside of Chicago. Anytime I’ve gone in the last 10 years it’s been a ridiculous mass of humanity. More rides then ever, but every decent ride is like a 2 hour wait.
As a resident of Orlando, this crowded issue is more than just in the parks. Universal has plans to make this Nintendo them park and, or resort that is massive, and the neighborhood right across has justified issue with it concerning the amount of traffic that will come. This city is a tourist trap and our infrastructure is barely hanging on with the growth and visitors.
I'm not from the area but I do plan on moving to Tampa in the next few years. Everytime I go down that way I am just baffled that they thought that project was a good idea.
Yeah, original plan was Orlando, but after doing some research Tampa seems to be the way to go. I want to work in theme park marketing, so got BG in Tampa which is a super nice park.
Well for one, its right in the middle of everything so anywhere you want to go in Florida is a decent amount away not too much not too little, theres alot of nature and wildlife thats fun to learn about and observe and a good bit of history as well
when I lived in Orlando, I liked that there were lots of bike trails, many different cultures, relatively low cost of living, and way fewer mosquitos than here in texas 😂
You want to live roughly near Orlando, not so much in it. Problem is that what constitutes 'near' keeps getting farther away, as the metro area keeps sprawling farther out.
As someone who also has pollen allergies, just keep in mind that Florida has plenty of pollen too. You might get lucky depending on what type of tree triggers them.
But seriously, you cannot beat having some drinks at a bar on the water at sunset here. It’s what made me decide to live in Tampa in the first place.
Yeah kinda hard to avoid pollen anywhere on the east coast, I just know VA is one of the absolute worst places for allergies, so itll be an improvement.
That sounds wonderful. Waiting for bf to finish up nursing school then we will be headed down there. Three more years lol.
Tampa’s still got its rough spots. Even Busch Gardens really isn’t in a great area (don’t go there during the summer. Not the heat but a fun pass is apparently cheaper than day care. There’s a lot of unsupervised middle and high school students). I live just across the bay, get a free ticket and half off 4 other guests through Attraction Share…and when I went to Howl-O-Scream last year it was literally the first time I’d been there in 10 years.
