Fantasy Island

Bit early for a take down for a trip to HPWW. Oktoberfest somewhere maybe, not WW. Was it leased from the showman then or did Mellors buy it?
 
It’s back off to Saudi, been seen leaving the country already. Shame
Mellors seem to send most there high quality big rides out there. Is there operations out there more profitable for them than fantasy island? Does fantasy island even make much of a profit?
 
New for 2022:- Wild River Rapids from Lightwater Valley.

Sounds like a good enough addition, I appreciate that at least Fantasy Island try with these sorts of things. Yeah they tend to add traveling rides but at least they give it a good go.
Still no sign of Turbulence then.
And do we know if The Guardian and Harington Flint's are finally opening this year?
 
A weaker line-up than in recent years, down a family coaster. Doubt I'll bother.

Where did Spinning Racer end up?
 
Think is with FI they arent afraid to add rides half way through the season, so it might not be the only one this year
 
Bump!

Both The Guardian and the River Rapids have been confirmed to open on March 19th. There is no opening date for Harrington Flint's yet.
Speaking of The Guardian, the park released a teaser video:



Apparently it's going to feature VR, so if it is a Robo Arm it will be very intense!
 
VR? On a Robo Arm?

It's almost as if they were worried that the capacity of a normal robo arm would be too high
VR on a Robo Arm isn't unheard of actually. KUKA manufacturer one that's fitted with VR headsets as standard. This one only has three seats, but I have seen ones with four (The Guardian's concept/park map art implies that it will have four seats).



I do agree though, capacity and throughput will be an issue. Even with four seats.
Wonder if The Guardian will have two separate arms?
 
I think all the clobber for the dark ride arrived two years or so ago. Will be interesting to see if it's trackless for the sake of it or if it does some interesting things with the capability that affords.
