- Orlando, Florida - Wonderworks
They're building a new attraction [Wonderworks] in Orlando, Florida, on International Drive. It was still under construction while I was there. The building is created to look like a building uprooted by a tornado and planted upside down in the middle of the block. It's apparently going to be a walk-through with Guiness/Ripley style illusions and whatnot.
In Kissimee and fairly new is the Haunted Mansion. A run-of-the-mill boring live actor walk through...however their free Horror museum includes a wax two headed baby, shrunken heads, a fiji mermaid, real electric chair and other oddities.

- Orlando, Florida - Graceland Replica
I used to live and work in Orlando, and the Orlando Graceland is a nice house to see. Visiting inside, you would believe Elvis is alive. Records on the wall, recording corner. I have been inside -- it is beautiful. But don't ask to go in; I was there for business.

- Orlando, Florida - Replica of Graceland
We heard about this home and went and found it. I have seen the real Graceland and this replica is amazing. The house looks a little run down and needs some TLC, but the gates look exactly like the gates at Graceland. I would have loved to have gone nosing around the grounds, but it is a private residence and I don't think the owners would've appreciated it. A must-see if you are an Elvis fan!
[Gail, 09/29/2012] - Orlando, Florida - Replica of Graceland
My wife and I made a little side trip off of the I-4 and found the Graceland Replica easily. It looks a lot like the real Graceland house, which my wife has visited. The roof may have been one of the only differences. The house needed a little work, but it was being lived in. There was a long limo out front and one other vehicle. The musical note iron gate was opened almost as if to welcome visitors (but remember this is a private home).

We just visited the house and it is still there; but, the gates are falling off and the yard is not maintained. It looked like someone was planning a party because there was one of those big blown up jumping houses for kids in the back yard.
