|  |  Cypress GardensCypress Gardens, "Florida's oldest theme park", has a new lease of life. After closing in 2003, it has reopened in time for its 70th birthday in 2006. It retains its classical mix of flowers and trick water-skiing.Promoter Dick Pope used relief workers during the depression of the 1930s to fashion the gardens. This entrepreneurial bent led Pope and his enterprising wife Julie to add non-horticultural features over the years, most famously the water-skiing shows that became a trademark and are now just one of ten shows on offer. |
