Anyone remember the Mystery Fun House in Orlando, FL

There is a great tribute site for it. Such an awesome fun house, arcade, mini-golf and even lazer tag later on. I love all the cheesy commercials on the site and the brouchures that scream 80's, especially the Everything But Water swinsuit store ad.

Also, in one of the videos on the site that tours the location, at about 6:30 into the video you can see the huge, awesome arcade they had. The video quality is not that great, but what year do you think it is and how many games can you pick out? I would say maybe 1985 based on the titles I can see. They always packed in the games.

That place was amazing. We stayed just down the road from it at the Court of Flags hotel a few times and I always loved going there. Definitely a blast from the past for anyone that remembers it.

I grew up in Central Florida and we used to go the MFH all the time. I remember that they had a tunnel bridge like the one out of the Six Million Dollar Man (Big Foot Episode) that had a tube around it. The tube would rotate, tricking you into thinking the bridge was tilting. It was a pretty cool effect. Loved the game room at the end. Great place. Thanks for the links, they bring back memories.
 
Weird, I don't remember this place. I lived in Lakeland, FL for a few years from 87-93 timeframe and I don't ever remember seeing ads for this place, but most of the time we would watch the Tampa based stations as they came in slightly clearer.

Another reason probably is due to the fact I thought Disney was a boring park and always begged my parents to go to Busch Gardens in Tampa instead. I did go to Universal once probably around 1992, but I guess this place didn't catch my eye.

Cool. Glad it brought back some memories for you too! :)
