New Rides, Games At LBI's Fantasy Island Amusement Park

BEACH HAVEN, NJ — This summer, enjoy new rides and games at Long Beach Island's Fantasy Island Amusement Park.

For the park's 39th season, guests can experience two new rides, Shark Attack and Summertime Swings, plus a new water gun game, Rising Tides.

Shark Attack is a new twist on the classic Tilt-A-Whirl ride, giving guests the chance sit in the mouth of a Great White or Tiger shark as they spin.

“The Tilt-A-Whirl is such a popular ride and we wanted to give our guests the opportunity to experience it in a fun, new way. This particular design is the first of its kind on the East Coast, and only the second one of its kind in the country,” Brian Wainwright, CEO, said in a release. “Shark Attack is sure to be the new fan favorite this season!”

Summertime Swings replaces Fantasy Island's Kiddie Swings; a new version of the ride with a beach ball design and bright colors.

In Rising Tides, guests must squirt water into Fantasy Island's Winston the Whale causing a lighted tube to rise. This is a multiplayer game and the first to the top wins.

Fantasy Island's Arcade is open daily through Labor Day. The outdoor games and rides will be open daily starting June 17.
