Several days after asking the local community to support them, and despite customers turning up in large numbers to help, V's Diner in Casselberry has closed. Sad news from Casselberry as vegetarian restaurant, V's Diner, located at 908 State Road 436 has permanently closed its doors despite locals answering a call to help the diner stay afloat. V's Diner which began life as a popular pop-up and food truck business. opened their bricks and mortar location on August 19, offering scratch-made 100% vegan diner classics including burgers, wraps, subs, sandwiches, and more. V's Diner was originally set to open in the near100 year old Fort Pitt building at 5565 Old Cheney Highway, and they did open at the location as a pop up in late 2019, but after issues with the buildings owners, they moved on, with V's Diner finally finding a home in Casselberry. Fast forward several months to March 14, and the owners of the vintage1950s styled diner announced that the business was struggling financially, and in need of a miracle to keep the doors open. Taking to social media to explain the restaurants dire situation, the owners blamed the delays in opening for their current financial situation. "When we signed our lease we had budgeted for a build out within a 4 month timeframe. Ultimately that ended up being 18 months and over five times the cost, six times after including rent." The owners also admitted to having experienced consistency issues and staffing issues, but assured everyone that these problems were resolved, commenting that declining sales was now the issue, and short of someone coming in to buy the entire company, the owners say that all they can do is hope for an increase in sales to see them though. They asked people to do what they can to support the diner, and the community responded in their droves, with the restaurant selling out in the days that followed. But, despite the huge outpouring of support it has proved not to be enough to save the business, with the owners calling it quits, and announcing the permanent closure of V's Diner on Sunday, Mach 24. The announcement was made on social media: "It is with the utmost regret that we announce the closing of V’s Diner in Casselberry. While we can look back and theorize at all the things we could have done differently or did not do, we want to use this opportunity to focus on the many things we did accomplish. Although ultimately not financially successful, we were extremely successful in numerous other ways. In creating an amazing space for our community, a fully house-made hand-crafted vegan meat program, a world class vegan bakery program, a reliable daily solution for guests at every different step on their journey towards veganism, and at times over-the-top hospitality to create some amazing experiences. We don’t know yet what the future holds for V’s Diner. Thank you for all the support, ideas, offers, well wishing, and most of all, from the bottom of our hearts, for letting us serve you over the years. It has truly been an honor."

Say goodby to The Wheel at ICON Park, as Orlando's iconic giant wheel has been rebranded back to its original name, The Orlando Eye thanks to new owners Merlin Entertainments. UK theme park and attraction operator, Merlin Entertainments who already own a significant portfolio of attractions in Central Florida, including the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium and Madame Tussauds Orlando, both at ICON Park, plus the Legoland Florida Resort and Peppa Pig Theme Park in Winter Haven have announced the purchase of the tallest observation wheel on the East Coast of the US, The Wheel at ICON Park, an attraction that the company previously operated when it first opened back in 2015. Along with the purchase of the 400-foot tall observation wheel, the company has rebranded the attraction back to its original name, "The Orlando Eye." The original logo for the attraction has also been brought back. Since its opening, the iconic attraction has has quite a few name changes. In July, 2016, the Orlando Eye was sponsored by Coca-Cola and renamed the Coca-Cola Orlando Eye. Then in March 2018, it was rebranded as ICON Orlando, and in April 2019, it was rebranded once again to The Wheel at ICON Park. Merlin Entertainments, one of the largest amusement-park operators in the world with 141 attraction in 23 countries have not revealed the terms of the deal, but Merlin's Chief Executive Scott O'Neil said in an interview that the addition of the Orlando Eye to Merlin's portfolio will help turn its Orlando properties into one of Melin's "mega clusters." Merlin create mega clusters in popular tourism destinations so that they can market several attractions together, and sell tickets bundles, much like in London, where Merlin owns the London Eye and several other London attractions. Commenting on the Central Florida cluster, O'Neil's said, "Today’s acquisition of the Orlando Wheel in the vitally important tourist hub of Orlando demonstrates this new Gateway strategy in action and serves to replicate our successful London Gateway formula, whereby we have clustered four of our branded attractions alongside the iconic anchor that is the London Eye.” He continued “Similarly, the Orlando Eye by Merlin Entertainments will become an unmissable stop on visitors’ itineraries, connecting guests to our wider portfolio of premium attractions and resort theme parks in and around Orlando, including the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium, Madame Tussauds Orlando, and Legoland Florida Resort and Peppa Pig Theme Park.” Could we see more Orlando attractions added to their portfolio? It's quite possible, watch this space... Already the new Orlando Eye branding has been added to ICON Park's website, and a new Orlando Eye website is also up and running, which demonstrates Melin's mega cluster policy of advertising attractions together, and selling multiple attraction tickets in bundle deals, check it out at theorlandoeye.com.
