I remember back in 1990s when if you were going to the Avenues Mall on I-295

I grew up 20 minutes from Disney. Most of the old theme parks in Central Florida were school field trips and things done for entertainment when someone employed by one would provide free tickets. Cypress Gardens, Six Flags Atlantis, Bok Tower, etc. are others I vividly remember. Also, I haven't kept up with the times. I didn't know Wet & Wild had closed and been redeveloped until driving down I-Drive a few months ago.

Wet & Wild was the one in Orlando, right? My sisters and I always wanted to go - but we ended up going to Wild Waters in Ocala (I think) instead.

Yes, that's right.  Orlando had Wet & Wild and Water Mania.  Wild Waters was adjacent to Silver Springs.
