"Although we are located just 20 minutes west of Walt Disney World, we're currently outside the center of mass tourism and not perceived of as a destination. We have a great product, but people have a misperception of what we offer," said Weeks in the Facebook post. "After 18 years of being in operation, it's time we close the attraction and move forward toward creating the vision for what I know Fantasy of Flight can become."

Groups that are currently booked for admittance to the attraction after April 6 will be issued refunds, according to officials.
