Commander Ragtime’s Midway Arcade was a multi-level family entertainment center in downtown Orlando that blended Victorian elegance with carnival aesthetics. Operating from the 1970s through the 1990s, the venue featured classic arcade games, pinball machines, and early virtual reality experiences. It became a late-night staple for downtown Orlando until Church Street’s decline in the early 2000s.
