White Lightning (roller coaster)

White Lightning is a wooden roller coaster located at Fun Spot America amusement park in Orlando, Florida.

White Lightning has also been well-received, consistently ranking in the top 50 among wooden roller coasters in the annual Golden Ticket Awards from Amusement Today.

[2][3][4] In the early planning stages, the park explored a Skycoaster, splash pad, and roller coasters as possible additions to the expansion lot.

[6] The Orlando Sentinel reported that three roller coaster representatives met with Fun Spot of Florida's chief operating officer, John Arie Jr., in August 2011.

The report further stated the company planned to break ground in 2012 on the land purchased previously, which would include "at least one new roller coaster" among other attractions.

Fun Spot officials reasoned to build two roller coasters to better establish themselves as an amusement park and to attract more guests.

[9] In March 2012, the Orlando City Commission approved the project, and the park released concept art of the expansion; in addition to a computer animated video of the GCI-designed roller coaster.

[16][17][18] In September 2020, a small part of White Lightning was retracked with new prototype steel Titan Track by Great Coasters International.

"[26] John Arie, the owner of Fun Spot, stated GCI delivered a ride that exceed his expectations, giving it an 11 out of 10.
