Abandoned Mystery Fun House - Hurricane Irma Damage
Mystery Fun House opened in Orlando in 1976 with one of the first mini golf courses in the area, and in 1988 added a laser tag facility called Starbase Omega. "Players of the game, which will be housed in a 5,000-square-foot dome, will be issued laser guns that shoot a light beam at a target-sensor shield. Score is kept by computer."
The entire complex closed in 2001 and since then was used for a short while as a tourist information center, and is now a workshop for the Westgate Resorts. Mystery Fun House was started in help by David Siegel, founder of Westgate Resorts.
In the early hours of Monday, September 11th, Hurricane Irma swept through Central Florida. Many attractions were left unscathed, but Starbase Omega suffered major damage. It looks like the Starbase Omega building was being used as file storage for either Mystery Fun House, Central Florida Investments Inc. (A time-share resort company owned by David Siegel with offices on the property) or Westgate Resorts, but the files suffered water damage after the hurricane, and there has been no evidence of anyone trying to salvage anything from the affected area.

Omg thank you for this!!!!! You have no idea how ecstatic I was to see this video!! I’ve been wondering what it looked like forever now, even more after the storm damage! How about that huge blue & white beachball looking thing in the back area? I believe you showed the remains starting at 4:32. I always saw it from I-4 & wasn’t sure what it used to be. I’ve always wondered what was hidden beneath it, I was just never brave enough to try and check it out lol. It’s horrible it came to such an end, very eerie. Every time I’ve tried to take a peak at even the mini golf area I’ve gotten chased off by the employees that seemingly appeared out of nowhere xD One day I even pretended to be a tourist that opened a timeshare with Westgate when they turned it into one of their welcome centers to try and get a closer look... it didn’t work out as I planned lol... Anyway, It’s so awesome you got to check it all out, record it, and upload it here! It’s even more awesome it was right after the storm! I think you’re one of the only people in recent years to have been able to explore freely & upload the remains of the once-great Mystery Fun House! It’s so sad its come to such an end :/ Thanks for exploring & uploading! :) It’s greatly appreciated!! :)

Glad you appreciate it! We were lucky that the storm cut the power. We had a rare opportunity to go in without the lights or cameras on. I'm working on getting inside. But it's sad they they don't care about it anymore
