    Edit: Crytpid posts make me so happy.

    Jacob, yup...year was 1984...winter....just off a jet from up north with my little brother. Plane was a nice 70 f...in Orlando it was 91 f.. .grampa picked us up at the airport and drove us directly to Gatorland! We were walking over a footbridge there, seeing all the Gators in the waters below....suddenly I got violently stomach sick....and threw up into the Gators swamp water....they thrashed around....loving the vomit.....those were the days of my childhood. Thanks for showing us bro.

    Great to see it's still there and going strong. The last time I was there was as a teenager in 1977, and the mouth was the entrance.
    It's expanded quite a bit since then .

    Damn!!!! Talking about bringing back memories... 1980’s the tour was Gatorland, Cypress Gardens, Seaworld, Disney with Epcot as their new park.... then going to Cape Canaveral’s NASA tour and of course that place where they offered a buffet while there was a jousting tournament.... Great family memories....😢 Thanks a lot for this one.
