tourist thoroughfare leading to those

theme parks over the years Universal

Florida Turnpike you would have got off
1:15
this exit when you were coming from
1:17
south Florida and this would have been
1:19
the beginning of the mecca of Tourism
1:22
about 20 years ago that would head
1:24
towards Walt Disney World and Universal
1:27
Studio now all that's left on this exit

5:57
every half a mile or mile or so there's
5:59
a new marker so it goes 15 16 17 18 all
6:03
the way up it was an ingenious idea for
6:05
all the tourism the flocks of tourists
6:08
to find their way to the attractions and
6:11
roadside things unfortunately over the
6:14
last 10 years or so 192 has basically
