International Drive knows that there are plenty of spots that
are perfect for snapping a good picture to share with friends and family. But,
there are a few select locations that are notable as some of the most recognizable
spots on I-Drive to snap a shot for a keepsake.
The Upside-Down
Attraction
Everyone who
has visited the International Drive Resort Area knows about the upside-down
attraction. Housing over 100 interactive exhibits,
WonderWorks is an amusement park for the mind, and is a staple on International Drive. Giving visitors the opportunity to feel a 5.3 earthquake, touch 100,000 volts of
electricity, design their own roller coaster, among various other hands on
activities – many would title it their favorite I-Drive attraction. But how
many people actually know the story behind the upside-down building? WonderWorks
originally began as a top-secret research laboratory on a remote island in the
Bermuda Triangle. Legend has it that the world’s greatest scientists, led by
Professor Wonder, were tasked with creating a man-made tornado and harnessing
its power. During the experiment, something went awry, and the power of the
tornado was released inside the laboratory. This created a swirling vortex
strong enough to rip the lab from its foundation. It was carried thousands of
miles away and landed up-side down. So, next time you’re on I-Drive, be sure to
stop and snap a picture at the beloved upside-down attraction –
WonderWorks.

Waturi Way
Built on the
philosophy that water is life, and life is joy –
Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park allows visitors
to embrace the carefree attitude of the fabled Waturi islanders. Despite the
many thrilling and relaxing attractions found within its gates; most notable is
the large Volcano that can be seen from miles and miles away. So, whether
you’re at the theme park splashing around, or taking in the scenery as you stroll
