Millenium Makeover at Fantasy Island!


Recommended Posts

With all the big news happening in the UK recently its easy to forget that other parks are steaming along with their own winter programs of maintenance and TLC. Such a park is Fantasy Island. This closed season has seen the removal of G-Force and the repaint of Millennium. Today I took a quick trip down the road to the park and took a look at what has been going on for myself.

"Welcome to Fantasy Island!"

Time to take a look at the new life the owners are continuing to bring to Fantasy Island.

This will look very different soon enough.

The last big section of the ride that needs to be painted.

I cant deny I actually prefer the colour of the base coat than the finished green.

Mid loop transformation.

Smoothest Vekoma loop in the world?

And the award for the worlds most pointless transfer track goes to..........

Its weird to think I remember this ride opening and looking all new and shiny.

New meets old.

Is this attraction staying for next year after the Halloween event or is Crazy Mouse returning?

Man G-Force can't catch a break at this park. This is the second time it's only got a season or two before going back to the Fabbri plant right?

 

Its travelling i'm pretty sure since the new owners of Fantasy Island are Mellors (or its one of the big showmen i can't remember who honestly.)

By the way' date=' what is Psycho? A walk-through/funhouse or a dark ride?

 

Its walkthrough/fun house/scare attraction combo. I thought it was only put there for "Fear Island" to replace the Crazy Mouse which went to Winter Wonderland. I assume Crazy Mouse will come back soon enough as its one of the parks most popular rides from what I can see.

To be fair ive never seen the ride busy and it did take up an awkward space in the park. Im sure the park has plans for the space in the future as they do seem to be continually investing. I personally would like to see a good dark ride in the parks future as long as it doesn't replace the Seaquarium

^Was it in the same awkward place as the first time? Sitting across the busy road on it's own near Volcanic Impact and The Beast?

 

No it was next to what used to be McDonalds many years ago/ by the first turn of Rhombus. It was there along with Beast having been relocated next to it.

With the season getting ever closer I managed to squeeze in another quick trip to Fantasy Island to see what progress has been made since I was last there.IMG_0759.thumb.JPG.bc90084e88b260ec20243bdd0a2acd3b.JPG

It seems the Fantasy Mouse has returned after its trip to London over the winter!

Im sure it won't be long before the ride is fully built again.

It also seems that one of the 2 new rides for this year has arrived and is replacing Amazing Confusion!

As the sun sets a new era for Fantasy Island begins!

In the saddest news I can possibly ever report McDonalds has left Fantasy Island completely after shutting down early last season!

I stood here 19 years ago when the ride was all fresh and new and im here again watching it get reborn!

The last part of Millennium too be painted is the lift hill!

Is this a bonus helix? Nope just a normal one.

I alway thought this part of the ride was so photogenic!

 

Not long now until the park re opens again and we can see what colour they have decided to paint the train as well!
