Screamin' Safari

Screamin' Safari (formerly Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo) is an amusement park located in Angola, Indiana. Although it's small in comparison to parks in neighboring states, such as Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure, it remains one of the largest parks in the region.

Carwardine Parks purchased the park in 2009 and gave the entire park a revamp and replaced most of the rides in the park.

History
The park opened in 1956 as Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo.

The park was renamed after Carwardine's buyout due to a copyright lawsuit.

In 2014, Redwall: The Ride was added.

In 2022, Tiger Diver and Bart’s Skateboarder was added.

Fun Spot vs. Fun Spot America
A court battle broke out between this park and the Fun Spot America chain. Carwardine lost the case and was forced to rename the park.
