Huge New Thrill Ride - Up and Overboard Now Open at Fun Spot America Kissimmee

Fun Spot America Theme Parks is thrilled to announce its newest family thrill ride, the Up and Overboard, is now open at its park in Kissimmee, Florida. Just in time for spring break fun, the high-flying attraction takes guests to new heights as they soar above the midway.


“Up and Overboard is an example of our ongoing commitment to continually enhance our guest experience,” said John Arie Jr., CEO of Fun Spot America Theme Parks. “Up and Overboard’s thrills include the feeling of weightlessness as guests swing through the air while reaching heights up to 60 feet in the sky. We’re excited to open this ride just in time for spring break and watch our guests experience it again and again.”


Up and Overboard takes 32 guests at a time aboard twin gondolas. Anticipation immediately meets excitement the moment the gondolas begin to rotate both clockwise and counterclockwise simultaneously and then rise toward the sky.  The full experience is all in the name, as the ride sends passengers soaring head over heels for a dizzying and memorable aerial adventure. Manufactured by SBF-VISA Group, Up and Overboard also features a vibrant light display that creates a colorful visually moving scene across the night sky. The result is as entertaining for guests on the ground, as well as those flying onboard.




Up and Overboard is the first of two new rides debuting in Kissimmee this year. The park is also adding the brightly colored kiddie swing ride, Swing Around, to the Kids Spot area. The rides are part of an entire package of new rides for Fun Spot America theme parks in 2025. Fun Spot America Atlanta recently celebrated the grand opening of its newest ride, Hook and Slice and the Orlando park will open two new rides in the coming weeks.


The best way to experience everything Fun Spot America Theme Parks have to offer is with a season pass. Season passholders can enjoy unlimited access on the new Up and Overboard, and all the rides and attractions at Fun Spot’s three parks in Orlando, Florida; Kissimmee, Florida; and Fayetteville, Georgia. Season passes and single-day fun passes can be purchased at the parks’ Guest Relations windows or online at Fun-spot.com.
