Caitlin Dechelle: Find Your Thrills in Kissimmee, Florida

Tower of Terror – A Classic Florida Thrill

One of Central Florida’s most legendary attractions, the Hollywood Tower Hotel, better known as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™, has been giving guests goosebumps since 1994. Located inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, this ride plunges brave souls 13 stories through sudden drops and eerie twists inspired by the classic television series. It’s an unforgettable experience that perfectly captures Kissimmee’s proximity to some of the world’s most famous theme park thrills.

Gatorland – The Screamin’ Gator Zip Line

Looking for an adventure you can only find in Florida? Take to the skies at Gatorland, where the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line lets you soar above a marsh teeming with alligators and crocodiles below. With five high-flying towers and speeds of nearly 30 miles per hour, it’s a uniquely Floridian experience that’s both thrilling and unforgettable.

Beyond the zip line, Gatorland offers family-friendly fun with a petting zoo, educational wildlife shows, a Swamp Walk, and the Gatorland Express Train. Adventurous guests can even ride the park’s Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure or feed alligators from a safe, up-close distance. All of this excitement is just minutes from Kissimmee’s main attractions and the Orlando International Airport (MCO).

I have never been to Gatorland in all my years of living in Florida. The zip lines were so much fun and it was so beautiful being up in the trees!
