Fantasy Island first opened in 1995 and was developed by Blue Anchor Leisure. It was later sold to Conduit Skegness Ltd, before the company went into administration in 2014[3][4] and sold the park to the Mellors Group for an undisclosed sum in 2016.[5] Three main attractions added by the Mellors Group in 2021 included Starflyer, Magic, and Firebowl.[6]
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.[7][8][9]
In 2024, the website Outdoor Toys listed Fantasy Island among the top 10 theme parks for children in the United Kingdom.[10] The resort includes rides and what it claims to be "Europe's largest seven-day market".[5]
