Cars roll uphill??

[TammyAlphabet]

I saw a TV show on the Travel channel about orlando and they said that there was a place close to orlando where you could drive your car and stop, put it in neutral and it would "roll" uphill. I can't remember the name, can anyone out there help me find this place???

I kept forgetting to go by here too....

Spook Hll is a quick stop event. To make the trip more worthwhile, plan to stop at Bok Tower while you're in that neighborhood.......more of an adult attraction --kids might not like it as much

That is it!!! Thanks a million!!

How far away is it from wdw?

I have visited Cypress Gardens and I think they were 45 minutes away - so maybe the same????

Spook Hill and Bok Tower are approx. 45 minutes from the WDW area...Go west on I-4 and turn south on Hwy. 27. The tower will be visible from Hwy. 27 and there are signs in the Lake Wales area directing you to Spook Hill.
Also out that way on I-4 is the Museum of Flight (or some such name). During the winter months last year open cockpit bi-plane rides were being offered---a unique way to see the area....don't know if they're doing that again.

We went to spook hill and our car rolled a little, but not exactly up hill. I would not waste my time.

According to the locals that Holly works with, it isn't in the best neighborhood either.

I live close to there and I drive that area of Polk County all the time. I have never bothered to go.

If you make a tour of the area, I agree, checkout Bok Tower Gardens, Fantasy of Flight, and Spook Hill in the same afternoon.

Cypress Gardens is really trying to open this Fall too. They have their "Christmas Wonderland" event scheduled from 11/19 to 12/30.
