The Beginning of Fantasy Island

Postby vectra on Sat Sep 05, 2009 1:37 pm

Does anyone have any pictures of the area where Fantasy Island is now situated. I would like to see images of it before the birth of fantasy island. I have checked on the internet but havent as yet come across anything. I do hope that someone can upload some images as well as some images of Fantasy Island being built.

I do remember that somwhere else in the forum that it used to have a small funfair as well as a swimming pool it just be cery interesting to see these images.

Sorry, I cant help you. You'd be best to browse the Fantasy Island past section of the forum, or even the Fantasy Island past section of the main site.

Yeah would be interesting to see some pics, childhood memories include a large arcade then there was a new one built opposite, the eastgate club, the funfair with a large remote control boat area and of course the market.

Also just sprang to mind anyone remember the old country music guy who used to sing at the front of the market???

I was just thinking earlier today. I might e-mail the park asking if they have any photographs of the construcion of Fantasy Island and if they could send us copys of them. After all we are kind of like a museum of the park - and it would be great to share them with everyone!
