Fantasy Island- October 13th, 2017

On Friday, October 13th, 2017, I had gone down to Grand Island for the day to visit my good friend Logan of The Amusement Parkrats and of course, check out Fantasy Island, making it my second visit ever to the park as my first visit was September 1st. This visit to Fantasy Island was special for me as I was checking out the Halloween Horror event which was a first for the park, and this also marked my first amusement park Halloween event which I have attended. It was a great evening at Fantasy Island as the park was done up well for an evening of scares and thrills! Let's now get to the photos of the my evening at Fantasy Island!

We arrived at Fantasy Island shortly after 5:40pm to attend their Halloween Horror event. A giant spider was there to greet us! 

Once inside, we were immediately noticed the park's front display and water fountain which was turned into a horrific bloody mess. 💀

Before the sun had set, the Fantasy Island's Canoes ride was operating as 'Chemikill Canoes' for Halloween Horror. It sure was aptly themed!

The park sure was decked out with tons of cobwebs and fog to make it an eerie evening at the park!

While waiting for the back seat on the Silver Comet, I captured this photo of the Halloween decorations on the Waffles food stand. The park sure did a lot of decorating for this event! 

After catching a few rides on the park's rides, we decided it was time to check out the two scare mazes/haunted houses. Before we entered them, the fog sure was rolling across the park!

We ventured through the fog and made it to the Fear grounds which is home to scare actors and the two haunted houses! 

We had walked along the path to where the first Haunted House was, which was Savage City! It was pretty good early in the evening but was awesome and somewhat frightening at night!

After exiting the haunted house attraction, I took a few photos of the horror props found around the park.

The fog sure was thick at times throughout certain parts of the park! 

The fog created a bit of a haze so the sign for Savage City was slightly blurry when I had captured this photo. We had done Savage City a couple times after it had gotten dark which was awesome! Logan's Mom, Nikki sure was frightened then!

Up next was 'What's In The Box?'. This attraction was quite neat as it utilized an old transport trailer filled with heavy fog, purple lights, some actors wearing white masks, and a neon box you had to find before you were able to leave!

In the background, behind this old Volkswagen Beetle, you can see the trailer which housed, What's In The Box?. This attraction was quite disorientating in the early evening, but even more so at night! 

Fantasy Island had utilized old equipment of the park to create an eerie atmosphere. Here is one of the park's past staff members serving up blood and guts from an old pretzel machine. ;-)

Even some skeletons were having some fun!

After catching a ride on the Gondola Wheel and the Crazy Mouse, Logan and I climbed aboard the park's Antique Autos, aptly named 'Highway To Hell'.

While waiting to board the Highway To Hell (Antique Autos) car ride, I noticed that the park had put their old log flume's boats on display to add to the festivities. For those wondering, Highway To Hell featured fog along the track which gave a regular Antique Autos ride an eerie feeling!

Up next was the park's Scooter bumper car ride renamed 'Road Rage Cage- Resurrected' for the purpose of the Halloween Horror event.

As you can tell it was completely enclosed for Halloween Horror!

Once inside, you were riding a very disorientating version of bumper cars as there was fog and strobe lights. It was an awesome experience!

While waiting in line for 'Road Rage Cage- Resurrected', I managed to capture this eerie shot of the Silver Comet making its rounds! If you've ever been on the Silver Comet during the day and thought it was amazing, try it in complete darkness! That experience was truly amazing, especially when riding in the back seat! :-)

Here is the Mind Warp swinging back and forth before it looped over the top.

Here is the Mind Warp after making a complete rotation around, sending riders upside down.

While we were waiting for another ride on the Silver Comet at night, I captured Flight in operation. The reason for it being so blurry is because the whole ride spins.

Fantasy Island sure had every part of the park covered with Halloween displays. Interestingly enough, the park had placed large TV's in their unused food booths during the time of the event to create a more horrifying experience for visitors to Halloween Horror.

After an evening of thrills and chills, it was time to call it a day! I sure had a great time and would definitely like to check out Halloween Horror at Fantasy Island again in the future! Thank you for taking a look at my photos of this great event at Fantasy Island! :-)
