Doug is everyone? He didnt go from DL to FI, there was another stop in between. Looks to be a promotion vs. a lateral too. Yeah, but my point is that more positive and interesting things are heading towards Fantasy Idlands way.

Looks like everyone is shifting from the lake to the island.

I know everyone said this was impossible and honestly I am quite shocked myself. But does anyone have any information on the supposed reconstruction of the Batman Standup coaster? Supposedly the track pieces have been moved next to the go cart track and Motocoaster. Source- http://www.ultimaterollercoaster.com/forums/roller-coasters-theme-parks/232789

I wonder where Fantasy Islands new mini golf course will be going...

Is that coaster track behind the PAC?

CW?

Personally, I think they took everything from the old site and put it on the new one, and will update it closer to the 2017 season.

So, aparently Al Weber, the CEO of Apex Parks Group, recently passed away... just in case anyone was wondering... P.S. The Fantasy Island website has been updated and has a new logo. www.fantasyislandny.com

I spy with my little eye a mushroom from the ladybug ride in the mfi parking lot.

Yes, I can't remember for sure but white is for senior citizens, pink is for catering groups, I think there's orange and green but the next 2 are just for under and over 48 inches. That's all for tickets though, season pass holders don't recieve anything anymore. For a brief point in time they continued with the stamps but they stopped now.

I work at the park and gathering information from supervisors, this is what I can tell you. Supposedly, parking will not be free, ticket prices will increase, the slide is getting removed, the land there is supposed to get some what reconfigured and the antique cars are supposed to have a new track built and move there, the land behind the wheel has been bought by apex and they are already starting to clear the land. The wheel is getting removed because it's in such awful condition, beyond repair like they did with Indiana Beaches Chance Gondola wheel. The middle Axel of it broke apart and they had to weld it together, that is why they have to load the wheel a specific way. Martin tried selling it for years but nobody wanted it so they're just taking it down. They might also add a coaster where the antiques were but I know ( not nessecarily for next year ), they want more flat rides and like I said with the land, they're expanding the park. Oh and finally, I know it's stupid but they want to get rid of the shootout. Not saying it will happen but it would probably be a battle for that.

I know this is a thread for DL, but just incase anyone would like to know, one of my good friends, that works at Fantasy Island, has informed me that they have sold the Gondola Wheel and they are going to open up that whole back corner of the park and put something big there, such as a new log ride or a roller coaster. I don't know how accurate any of this is but the Gondola Wheel is still up right now, so if Martin really did sell it, I don't know when he plans to take it down.

Does anyone know where Lasso used to stand before the 2000 season? Apparently there was a ride there called Crazy Quilt and after the 1999 season it was removed and Lasso was put in its place.. But they received lasso in 1981.

From what I heard, DL has also removed, sadly, Lasso. I don't know how true this is but it would be great if anyone could provide more info about this

Does anyone know where Ranger may have ended up by now?

Personally, I think that the "Ripcurl Racer" name sounds awful. I don't really like how the word "Ripcurl" sounds.. But that's just me. Aside from that, does anyone know when they might update their map on the parks website? I'm always intereted to see the new maps.

As far as DL has announced on its social media pages, and as far as screamscape has found out, they're just getting a new train.. But who knows..? Maybe it will get rethemed. Someone else mentioned this, but it would be nice to see the coaster shed its former Six Flags image.
