If you’re here in the later afternoon, be on the lookout for the ghost of a little girl by the kangaroos.
Rumor has it that she was too sick to visit Jungle Island while she was alive, and now haunts the place after her death.
Do not try to approach her!

There are many Florida amusement parks, and Zoom Air in Daytona Beach offers something you won’t in many other places.
The park offers three courses for you to try, including a very challenging zip line course, complete with tight rope walking and swings.
As you cool off at the refreshment stand, keep your wits about you…

Enjoy a competitive round of mini golf, or take turns at the batting cages.
Those of you who are interested in ghosts should explore the laser tag room…

They have said that if you make eye contact with the spirit, it will stretch its jaw out wide and scream at you until you leave the room.
Unfortunately, reviews over the past year haven’t been that great, and it would seem this place isn’t in that great of repair anymore… but the ghosts don’t seem to mind, in fact, as the condition of the park declines, the reports of hauntings seem to increase.
