Martin's Fantasy Island Theme Park

Fantasy Island
formerly Martin's Fantasy Island, Two Flags Over Niagara Fun Park
Grand Island, New York

Sitting on an island just upstream of Niagara Falls, this park first opened as the 12-acre Fantasy Island in 1961. It went bankrupt in 1982 and was purchased by Charles Wood. He sold the park to the International Broadcasting Corporation in 1989, but got the park back when IBC went bankrupt in 1992. For a couple of years, the amusement park was called the Two Flags Over Niagara Fun Park, but the name converted over to Martin's Fantasy Island in 1994 after local businessman Martin Dipietro purchased the property. The property was bought by the Apex Park Group in 2016, and it was renamed Fantasy Island once again in 2017. The park presently covers 85 acres.

Three coasters have left this location: Little Dipper was an Allen Herschell "Little Dipper" model that left the island in the mid-1990s. Orient Express was a small "Orient Express - Oval" model from Wisdom Rides that ran from 1998 to 2003. Wildcat was a Schwarzkopf "Wildcat - 54m" model that operated from 1972 until 2004.
