Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates
I don't mind it either - in fact, I'd definitely say it's an improvement over the previous, much less distinctive scheme.
What I do find a little daft though, is the fact that they've now got two yellow coasters in the same park. This may sound a bit trivial, but to the people who identify them as 'the red' and the 'yellow' coasters, that's a bit of a problem
It's nice to see a UK park putting more effort into their colour schemes...it certainly beats Merlin grey

Agreed that it is an improvement but also agreed that perhaps something else might have been more distinctive/even better.
A lot of people will probably just assume that they are one coaster now! This new kind of coaster with one sit down and one inverted car! How amazing!CoasterCrazy said:I don't mind it either - in fact, I'd definitely say it's an improvement over the previous, much less distinctive scheme.

No, you're wrong. It's the pigmentation of the paint is affecting the refraction of the light, thus causing the wheel assembly to vibrate exactly 1.4 times faster than when it was red/white. But it's still a new cred. Definitely.

Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates
Word is that the Millennium Coaster is getting a new colour scheme too.
Oh, and also, some potentially good news.... They're going to be expanding the ride area by The Odyssey. They've already removed all the market stalls and taken down the entrance arch (which was next to the Odyssey's station). Apparently the Mouse coaster is going down there, along with a few smaller rides, making way for a new ride in 2017 up the other end of the park....

So have they completely got rid of the market? If so, that's fantastic, hopefully the park will look a lot more professional with all these improvements and upgrades.

Someone might buy it to ship out the rides to their own other park, like Flamingo or something? Who knows.
The big coasters would be nice additions to some of the smaller parks although they would need quite a bit of space.

Re: Fantasy Island (UK) Updates
Well, this is England, so we can't ignore the possibility of it sitting there rotting in a Camelot stylee... but let's be positive. Let's hope that it gets a buyer who invests a bit of cash and effort into bringing it back to life. At the very least, let's hope the rides stay in the UK and don't get shipped off to frickin' China.
