Yep. Rainbow Springs used to be an amusement park, something like Cypress Gardens. Had a Zoo, rodeo, gardens, etc. It was built back in the late 30's and closed in the 70's or 90's cant remember. The state bought the land back in 1999 and made it into a state park.

You can walk all through it, see where the zoo was (reminded me of Lost). See the foundations for all the old buildings. Still has some of the old outside furniture etc. Seemed like a ghost town when you are back away from the main buildings and it was quiet/no one around.
