Fantasy Island Resort is a resort theme park located in Ingoldmells on the east coast of Lincolnshire, UK. It opened in 1995 and is owned by the Mellors Group. The park features an outdoor selection of rides as well as an indoor entertainment complex situated in a steel pyramid. [1] The park has several rides both inside its central pyramid and the surrounding outdoor space. [2]
Fantasy Island first opened in 1995 and was developed by Blue Anchor Leisure. The park went into administration in 2014 and was purchased by the Mellors Group for an undisclosed sum in 2016. [3] Three main attractions added by the Mellors Group in 2021 included Starflyer, Magic, and Firebowl. [4]
In September 2023, the Volcano launch tower experienced a technical fault after the emergency stop was activated, leading to several guests being offered first aid. [5] [6] [7]
In 2024, the website Outdoor Toys listed Fantasy Island among the top 10 theme parks for children in the United Kingdom. [8] The resort includes rides and what it claims to be "Europe's largest seven-day market". [3]
