Orlando Parks & Entertainment News (OPEN) is an independent journalism platform built for people who want real theme park facts, not marketing hype.

We believe tracking the rapid development of Central Florida’s commercial leisure footprint shouldn’t require digging through endless corporate fluff. We spend our time auditing public records, municipal building permits, and environmental filings so you do not have to. We translate dry, complex county database entries into clear, actionable project trackers.

Whether you are a local tracking local zoning impacts, an enthusiast monitoring ride blueprints, or a traveler mapping out a premium vacation, OPEN provides raw hospitality and infrastructure data straight from the source.
