Topics which should be addressed in this article[edit]

Several movies were shot at Silver Springs. Elvis did one in the late 50's or early 60's. There was a tarzan movie filmed there. And in the modern era, a movie was shot there. A paragraph in respect to this topic would be good. Hokeman 21:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There was a Tarzan series shot in Silver Springs in the (I believe) the 50's. A bunch of monkey escaped, bred and still live in the wild just down the river from S.S. If you go there in a canoe, they will shit and piss all over you from the trees above.- Stuart Pid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.137.245.197 (talk) 16:20, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The rhesus monkeys were orignally imported in the 1930's for a Jungle Cruise exhibit, they were confined to a small island which they escaped by swimming. Also fishing is currently allowed in the Silver Springs river and actually quite near the glass bottom boat rides. Also many films and TV shows have been filmed here including more than 100 episodes of "Sea Hunt". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.66.40.121 (talk) 02:46, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment[edit]

{{WikiProject Amusement Parks |class=Redirect |importance=4 }} NAD328 (talk) 18:07, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@NAD328: WikiProject banner templates should be placed in the lead section of an article's talk page; they don't go in the article, and they don't go in the headed sections of a talk page. Also, |class=Redirect is inappropriate, since Silver Springs, Florida is not a redirect; and |importance=4 is invalid - valid values for this parameter are listed in the custom importance mask. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
