Best Non-Disney Amusement Parks in Florida: Summaries with Information on Florida Resident Discounts

As I explained in a previous article titled "Florida Residents: Play Tourist This Summer and Celebrate Your Vacation Hot Spot of a Town", I am a former resident now living up north who failed to take advantage of all the state had to offer while I lived there. Unfortunately now that I'm far away and there is no real turning back, I regret that I didn't play tourist more often to at least keep myself familiar with the breakthrough leaps and bounds the entertainment world was making right in my own neighborhood.

This article then is dedicated to those of you who are Florida residents and are interested in possibly visiting one of the many Florida amusement parks or attractions sometime within the next year. Listed here are the three amusement parks in Florida that I personally feel are the best, along with information on Florida resident discounts and how to obtain them.

Note that I avoided listing anything related to Disney because I feel that Disney does an over the top job at drilling into us, no matter if we are Florida residents or we live in Wisconsin, what is new and improved about their entertainment arenas as they all evolve.

Instead, these Florida amusement parks I have chosen are not as nationally known as Disney and I feel as well, they don't get as much credit as they deserve. Butt these are hands down the three non-Disney Florida amusement parks that I have concluded provide the best and most unique entertainment and simultaneous educational rewards.
