Fantasy Football

[Chris]

Came across this about Fantasy Football for children during the summer:

Fantasy Football has been introduced to create a unique mix of"Football & Fun all rolled into 1". Half of each day will be usedto don your football skills (supervised) just like David Beckham,dribble like Cristiano Ronaldo and shoot like Wayne Rooney.
  
Duringthe second half of the day (unsupervised) you can ride the rollercoasters as many times as you like with an unlimited wristband!
  
Eachchild receives a Fantasy Football tshirt, a momento medal and maybe atrophy for player of the day & an unlimited wristband to ride thecoasters until closing time.
1 Day - Football & Fun Course £25
2 Days - Consecutive Only £45

This is a very neat idea, and I'm sure it will be a success.

The only thing that kind of puzzles me is the fact that this is actually going to draw guests away from Fantasy Island!

Not really, it's a joint venture between the park and a local football club. The price includes the rides wristbands for the rest of the day, so the money will presumably be split between the park and the football club. It's a good method of working with local businesses to help each other out really.

Yeah I agree with that, and I suppose it will only be drawing them away in the morning, with a whole 8 hours to ride the rides!

£25 is very good value too! I'm confident that if the weather stays nice, it will be very popular.
