I went to Silver Springs when I was 7 years old a couple of years after the movie was made and they showed us where the Creature of the Black Lagoon was filmed during the glass bottom boat ride. I never forgot that, and have the movie on my DVR right now and built the Aurora plastic model when I was 12 years old. I have a new version of the model in the garage right now I'm working on.

In Mount Dora I've been wanting to take the Cat Boat Ride, they're powered boats you drive yourself and it holds two people.
