Fantasy Island

We did enjoy our day out until my Neice who is only 9 got stuck on Dragon Mountain, we were assured that she was ok going down on her own. She got stuck half way down and she was very distrssed, the man has to climb down to get her much to his annoyance (he didnt want to get wet).

Other than that it was a good day out, very rarely had to que, and my neice and nephew enjoyed themselves which is the main thing.

My family love coming here we come nearly every year and it just gets better and better for us. There is always plenty to do with the rides, shops, food places and parks. On the rides they have now introduced wristbands which give people unlimited acess to all rides all day which i think is fantastic as they are cheap compaired to all the other big theme parks. But if you are only interested in going on one ride then there is also tokens you can buy. The shopping area is great because there is always something for everyone. Same as the food there is plenty to choose from whatever you are wanting. Fantasy Island is also great because it is FREE to go in unlike other parks and is in the center of everything. Would definitely recommend its fantastic !!!

Its not a bad place, but there can be some confusing as some of the old sign posts for car parks and the likes are still there. Leading you into a van park!Go with an open mind and you will enjoy it, if there if rain, or winds then check the two big coasters cause they may be closed!

Fantasy island is so good. I'm glad that me and my family are going back next year I love to see my brothers face when he's on the might beast ride accept he dared me to go on it, so yah no a dare's a dare so I went on it! It was so good never be afraid to go on any rides I love fantasy island. Nothing is bad.

It was quite good but very boring queues!!

Me and my partner decided to go to Skegness for the day from Norwich as we are both thrill seekers. When we arrived at 'Fantasy Island', we wanted to go on some rides, but unfortunately 'The Odyssey' coaster and 'Absolutely insane' ride were closed, which caused us some disappointment. This was not the first time we had visited the park and had to put up with the mentioned rides being closed. We had also visited 'Fantasy Island' early in September of last year, and also the 'The Millennium' coaster was closed. This time round,'the Millennium' coaster was open and we went on it. It was awesome and very smooth, but it cost us both £8 per ride, which to us was rather expensive. The other rides cost us both £4.80 a go, which made us wonder as to why the rides were empty most of the time. We feel that Fantasy Island could do a lot better for itself if it introduced wristbands for unlimited rides.

We went to Fantasy Island on what turned out to be a rainy day in August. We didn't really know what to expect as a day on the beach had been the plan until the weather intervened, but we were very pleasantly surprised.

We got the train to Skegness and from the station it was a very short walk to the bus station next door, from where frequent services run to directly outside Fantasy Island at Ingoldmells.

We had lunch at McDonalds, which since it was slightly away from the main complex, was not overly busy, and then we wandered back through the fairground and outside stalls to get inside again. What really appealed to us is that it is free admission, and you then buy tokens for rides. The tokens are 60p each, and most rides take two or three tokens, which I think is reasonably priced. You have to pay separately for the rollercoaster's, which we were too feeble to go on, and then we threw quite a lot of money into amusement machines and bingo - the latter paying off well since I won a number of chocolate prizes!!

We only went on two rides - so for this reason were glad not to pay admission as it means we didn't waste money. We went on the Secrets of Fantasy Island - a really nice, gentle ride in a boat along water, weaving around displays of singing fish - and we also went on a monorail ride - another indoor ride which gives you a great view of all that's going on underneath. If we'd had enough time, we also would've gone on the indoor hot air balloons! There's also a water ride which you go on in a little dinghy and that looks like great fun but the drawback is that you're unlikely to escape getting wet, even though they do provide plastic capes!

The amusements are suitable for all ages, and what will appeal to adults also is the huge outdoor and indoor markets, apparently the biggest in Europe. Lots to see and buy! If the weather is good, you can also have a break from the madness of the theme park by taking a short walk down to the beach, passing yet more amusements on the way, one of which, Planet Fun, boasts a mini ten pin bowling centre which we found to be really good fun.

All in all, we had a great day out, and barely noticed the rain. If we went again, since we didn't take any children, we'd probably choose a quieter time i.e. not school holidays! Also, for us, it was a long way to travel to not make the most of the rides, but then it would be different if it was a family going I'm sure as there are many other rides suitable for children and entertainers for the kids too.
