Info

Fantasy Island is a Family Amusement Park in Ingoldmells on the East Coast of England. It sits in the middle of one of the biggest spreads of Holiday Parks in the United Kingdom. Whilst entry to the Park is FREE, customers either pay per ride or purchase an unlimited ride wristband. The pay-per-ride option uses a live ticket, which has a printed bar code that can be scanned to gain access to rides. This option allows credit to be added to the ticket to be able to ride rides in the Park. Rides are priced at £1.50, £2.50, or £4.00 per ride depending on the ride type.
Wristbands with a printed barcode on are sold at a cost of £20 for adults. This code must be scanned by a bar code reader which unlocks the turnstile at each ride platform. The design technique means that riders are unable to access the ride unless having first scanned their specially printed day-code. Each day a new code is printed on the wristband, meaning wristbands from previous days become invalid.
Many of the smaller rides are indoors. Fantasy Island also premiered the IMAX ridefilm attraction "Fun House Express: Jimmy's Clown Chaos" in its IMAX ridefilm theatre. This attraction has since been closed, though "Fun House Express: Jimmy's Clown Chaos" has been show in IMAX ridefilm theatres around the world, including Las Vegas.
The Mellors group, who acquired Fantasy Island in 2016 following the park going into administration in 2014, have confirmed the re-installation of a Fabbri Giant Booster flat ride for 2016, which previously operated at the Park from 2002 to 2003, called G-Force. G-Force left the park again at the end of 2017 to allow the park to continue with its development plans and new attractions over the coming years.
