Former Orlando Helitours Heliport

Economic reasons. The heliport's closure is linked to the dissolution of its operating company. This is a common occurrence for small businesses in the highly competitive Orlando tourism market. There is no public record of a major accident or military conversion leading to the closure.

The site at the specified coordinates (28.3345, -81.503765) is currently occupied by Capone's Dinner & Show, a themed restaurant and entertainment venue, and its associated parking lot. There are no visible remnants of the former heliport, and the land has been fully utilized for this commercial purpose for many years.

The heliport was a private commercial facility that provided helicopter sightseeing tours, a popular tourist activity in the Kissimmee/Orlando area. Its operations would have consisted of short flights offering aerial views of nearby attractions, most notably the Walt Disney World resort, Universal Orlando, and the dense concentration of hotels and points of interest along the US-192 corridor. It was one of many such small heliports that have operated in the region over the years, catering to the massive tourism industry.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The site is occupied by an established, active business, and the local market for helicopter tours is served by several other active heliports located nearby along the same US-192 tourist corridor.
