ones that are not on the list:
Busch Gardens Tampa, Skyride, Von Roll, has not operated since COVID-19 but still standing, may reopen
Pirates World, Sky Trail, unsure, removed
Marco Polo Park, Sky Ride, unsure, removed
South Florida Fair, Sky Ride, unsure, operating
Daytona Beach Main Street Pier, Skyride, unsure, removed
Miracle Strip Amusement Park, Sky Ride, Von Roll, removed
Daytona Beach was a 1967 Hopkins Skyglider (installed by Universal Design).
Marco Polo and Pirates World likely were Giovanola, maybe in cooperation with Intamin (like the ones at Hersheypark or Magic Mountain).
South Florida Fair could be the 1977 Skyglider that was first installed at the Dade County Youth Fair.
The Von Roll in Panama City Beach was actually located at Magic World next to Goofy Golf (the return station still stands at 30.191474, -85.828106). It was installed by Skyrides of America. Not sure if there was a second one at Miracle Strip Amusement Park.
There used to be a chairlift on the pier at Daytona beach, is it still there?

And not to forget the 1963 Carlevaro & Savio / Telecar gondola at Six Gun Territory in Silver Springs.

Have to correct myself. Pirates World was a Von Roll:
Marco Polo likely was VR101 too as the Giovanola 4-seaters had two hangers. But I will try to find out more.

Turns out one opened last year, the Bud Light Seltzer Skyview at Hard Rock Stadium.
