Icon Park, originally named I-Drive 360 until 2018, is an entertainment complex in Orlando, Florida, that has been operating since 2015. The complex is on 20 acres (8 ha) and has about 9 feature attractions, including a 400-foot (120 m) observation wheel, a slingshot ride, a Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, and a Sea Life aquarium (not to be confused with SeaWorld Orlando). The park also has various restaurants, shops, bars, and kiosk vendors. Icon Park is not owned and operated as a single enterprise like an ordinary enclosed amusement park; instead, the park is on a 40-acre (16 ha) site together with nearby hotels and restaurants, and the attractions at the site are owned separately and operated by various different companies who lease space and operate as tenants. No tickets are needed for members of the public to enter the park itself or to visit the restaurants and shops on the site; rather, tickets for the individual attractions are sold separately or in bundled packages.

Mr. Olympia
Mr. Olympia

Mr. Olympia is the title awarded to the winner of the professional men's bodybuilding contest in the open division at Joe Weider's Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend—an international bodybuilding competition that is held annually and is sanctioned by the IFBB Professional League. Joe Weider created the contest to enable the amateur Mr. Universe winners to continue competing and to earn money. The first Mr. Olympia was held on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City, with Larry Scott winning his first of two straight titles. The equivalent female title is Ms. Olympia. The record number of wins is eight each by Lee Haney (1984–1991) and Ronnie Coleman (1998–2005). Samson Dauda currently holds the title. In addition to the Mr. Olympia title in the Open division, other male divisions include the 212 division since 2012, the Men's Physique division since 2013, and the Classic Physique division since 2016. The film Pumping Iron (1977) featured the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia in Pretoria, South Africa, and helped launch the acting careers of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu. As well as the Ms. Olympia title, female titles include Fitness Olympia and Figure Olympia for fitness and figure competitors. All four contests occur during the same weekend. From 1994 to 2003, and again in 2012, a Masters Olympia was also crowned. Globally, a version with amateur competitors is also presented, the Mr. Olympia Amateur.
