In the amusement park, located quite near the miniature golf course, there is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnQqxXuw98 fairground ride] with a backdrop made up of three screenshots from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]: the [[Vinewood Sign]], a [[Hydra]] hovering in front of the [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] skyline, and a [[Shamal]] flying over the countryside. The similarity of this mural and the end of the [[Grand Theft Auto V]] trailer (where a private jet flies over the Vinewood Sign and towards Los Santos) has lead many to believe that the mural was a deliberate hint towards the location of GTA V, which would suggest that [[Rockstar North]] had planned the production of GTA V before releasing GTA IV. | In the amusement park, located quite near the miniature golf course, there is a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjnQqxXuw98 fairground ride] with a backdrop made up of three screenshots from [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]: the [[Vinewood Sign]], a [[Hydra]] hovering in front of the [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] skyline, and a [[Shamal]] flying over the countryside.

Being a beachside amusement park, the entire area of Firefly Island can be considered a place of interest; however, specific attractions located within its boundaries include the [[Funland]] amusement park off Oneida Avenue, the [[Memory Lanes]] bowling alley along the boardwalk. The boardwalk is identified the "Alexander Boardwalk" from signs along the boardwalk, roughly stretching from Mohawk Avenue to Shinnecock Avenue. | Being a beachside amusement park, the entire area of Firefly Island can be considered a place of interest; however, specific attractions located within its boundaries include the [[Funland]] amusement park off Oneida Avenue, the [[Memory Lanes]] bowling alley along the boardwalk.

Firefly Island also features a miniature golf course (located behind the [[Screamer]] roller coaster ride) that includes models of landmarks appearing in other cities based in GTA and earlier GTA games. Among them, the [[Ocean View Hotel]] from [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] (GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories); a [[wp:Watts Towers|Watts Towers]] look alike, a [[Santa Maria Beach]] lighthouse and a bridge from [[Los Santos]] (GTA San Andreas); the "[[World's Largest Cock]]" from [[Las Payasadas]] and a windmill from rural [[ | Firefly Island also features a miniature golf course (located behind the [[Screamer]] roller coaster ride) that includes models of landmarks appearing in other cities based in GTA and earlier GTA games.
