Niagara Amusement Park Planning Memorial Day Opening

Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World is planning to open around Memorial Day Weekend, the park has announced.  The amusement park was formerly run by Apex Parks and known as Fantasy Island, and announced that it would not open again in early 2020.  The amusement park has been closed since that time, with only Splash World, the park's water park, opening for a little bit of the late season in 2021.


Niagara Amusement Park was saved by IB Parks & Entertainment, the same company that resurrected Indiana Beach and is also working to reestablish Clementon Park & Splash World.

While a Memorial Day Weekend opening date is set, there are not much additional details at this time on what rides and attractions will be offered in the amusement park this year.  The park's website is still showing information from last year's abbreviated Splash World season, without many clues at to the dry park just yet.  Scrolling though social media, however, we can at least see that the park has confirmed that a Scrambler and Mack Caterpillar will be joining for 2022.  The park is basically starting over as Apex Parks sold nearly every ride at the park when they closed it in 2020.

 

The park is home to the Silver Comet, a Custom Coasters wooden ride that was not demolished when the park closed as Fantasy Island.  Hopefully the park will be able to get the coaster refurbished and back up and running for the 2022 season as it is one of the park's largest attractions.
