If extreme rides are your thing, get yourself along to Fantasy Island at Ingoldmells for the ride of your life.
From The Amazing Confusion and The Volcano to The Odyssey and The Beast, thrill seekers will be spoilt for choice.
Younger adventurers can enjoy The Crazy Mouse and The Millennium, while family rides on offer include Toucan Tours, Dragon Mountain, Seaquarium, Fantasy Flume, The Balloon Ride, The Dodgems, The Twister, The Rhombus Rocket and The Techno Frogs.
If you’re looking for something a little more sedate the soft play Galactic Play Zone might be more up your street or spend a few quid playing the latest video games in the arcade.
Once you’ve scared yourself silly on the rides, calm down with a look around one of the best markets in the north east.
Fantasy Island has the largest seven-day market in Europe along with an indoor market, allowing your shopping to continue on rainy days.
Entertainment is never in short supply at Fantasy Island from live tribute acts to hypnotists.
Acts on the bill in the coming months include Jeff Dingle as Bruno Mars, All New Jersey Boys, Rio Madness, Beatles Experience, Britain’s Got Talent finalist impressionist Jon Clegg and Forever Jackson.
There are also celebrity appearances lined up from The Only Way is Essex and I’m A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here!) star Joey Essex and soap star brothers Ryan and Adam Thomas, of Coronation Street and Waterloo Road fame.
l A single day ride pass allows the user unlimited access to all Fantasy Island rides on the day of purchase and costs £11 for under 12s and £22 for anyone 12 and over during high season (July 12 to August 31 and selected weekends).
Book ahead online and save yourself a couple of quid on admission prices.
