That’s a massive roller coaster. Can’t believe a ride that big can be abandoned.
I watched the video till the end 😍💪🏼
Hey Josh, I watched the entire video! Great work man, I love all your videos! 😎
This just makes me angry to see how people just destroy places like these, it’s just frustrating...
people have been doing this throughout history
What makes me more angry is I grew up going to fantasy island and it was amazing. I don't know after I seen this, i got so upset.
:(
Blame the ppl that just abandon these places leaving it to rot 🤷🏾♂️
@@FirstLast-yh7gj It might be out of their control. The immature people vandalizing these places, however, are in control of their actions.
So I made it through to the end and I have to say that seeing that it's official that the park had only shut down this year yet... that damage looks to be at least a decade's worth. It's absolutely disgusting and disgraceful that a bunch of kids went in there and thought that it was okay to go in there and do all of that.
Its been shut down for the past, 2 years. 1 year it was trying to be sold, it wasn't only till half way threw last year that it fully closed.
Ikr
@@annellasommer6803 Thanks I was wondering how it got so messy so quickly, that really clarified
God do kids need to do this
Pro Tip: Take waxed paper when visiting places w dry water slides. Sit on it when you go down. You'll fly.
I can't tell if you're joking
@@user-hm8yu3gm8k No, totally serious! It works!
That sounds dangerous as hell. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Hahahahahahaha that's awesome x
Thnx for the tip
I hate how people just destroy stuff!!!! WHY!!!
Me too
WHAT THE FUCK THEY DO THAT
I know right
Yeah.. it's making me go mad..but if it's a school then i respect their choice xD
Let’s be real here is because of those tik tokers
This is Fantasy Island, located in Grand Island NY! My Father worked here for over 30 years. I literally grew up in this park. If you’ve seen the shoot outs in Western town, you’ve seen my dad fall off the roofs as the infamous “Black Bart”.
Did they ever reopen?
@@mminietto4175 they are open now under a different name. Haven’t been back yet, but I’ve heard it’s just not the same unfortunately.
@@mminietto4175 yes they’re open now, under a different name. Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World, in grand island New York
🖤🦇🖤
The amount of self control he has to not take any of those prizes...
We'll never know if they really did lol
@@l.a.picasa Josh and his crew have always said that they do not steal, vandalize, or destroy. I'd hope they hold up to that.
He has only taken ONE thing from his explorations, and that was a yearbook from his school that he explored. It was found out beforehand he asked if he could take one if he found one, and they told him yes. LOL
It's called being professional
Leave nothing but footprints take nothing but pictures 🙌
Omg I can't believe how fast it was destroyed. I loved this park growing up. The wave pool was a good time too.
I'm sure if Mark Poloncarz saw the damage he'd be fuming with rage. He was fuming when that idiot threw that basket with burning paper into City Hall through a broken window.
I was never able.. didnt know of it. What was this place called?
@@GeneralGorillaSonicOC who is mark poloncarz?
@@justindecker1685 Erie County Executive. We may have disagreements but he's an honorable man.
@@SofiaBerruxSubs Fantasy Island.
I watched until the end. I grew up going to this park, absolutely miss it. Completely disgusting that people vandalized it😞hopefully they can get it back up and running soon!
Only the 48th person in over 600 comments to say it!!!! You are epic!!
with covid going on it wont happen any time soon
@Vivian Kravet its sucha shame :(
ik!!!
Hi there, Josh; I lived in the area of Fantasy Island for 36 years. I’ve been gone for 5 years and recently came back. There was also a 14 year old boy, that was thrown from the Ferris wheel and died. His Father survived. He was from Kansas. Then, of course, the diver that was instantly paralyzed in front of the audience after diving 60 down into a pool. It was always a very 2nd class amusement park. Mostly, tourists visiting Niagara Falls, would go there. I enjoyed the video immensely! The live shows in Western Town were great!
Cool
It was such a fun place! Even if it was a 2nd class amusement park. We had Darien Lake & we used to also go to Crystal Beach as well. I remember the little boy falling from the ferris wheel, that was so scary & sad.
It looks like shi- and there fixing it up and actually opening up again! Lucky you got to it then!
Did this place really close in only 2020? It looks so much more aged than that....if I missed something I'm sorry
Since 2014 Fantasy Island struggled. They actually had a lot of problems with closed down rides and stands since 2016 . So much so that season ticket holder’s started to complain and finally got a petition together wanting refunds in 2018. Even though their last season was 2019, they had hardly any business and rides and the park were in bad shape.
This park is reopening this summer as Niagara Amusement Park & Splash World. I can’t even imagine how much work they’ve done in just a year to be able to open it already.
That’s awesome to hear! Glad someone bought and saved it! 😁
Breaks my heart when idiots vandalise destroy and have no compassion for other peoples property. Loved the vid.
Facts 😤
it's so sad how people have vandalized this especially being such a recent shutdown it looks like it's been abandoned for years :(
It’s because a lot of people in the area are scummy. They don’t care.. sadly I live in the same town and it’s pretty sad how many just don’t care. Too many punks live here.
It closed in 2019. I grew up 10 minutes from the place and still live in the area. I can't believe how Trashed it is. There are so many ways in and out of the property.
@@colleen7845 @Jessica Patterson that must suck having memories there and living near there and having it be this destroyed
:/
@@colleen7845 No, it did not close in 2019. We year round staff were still expecting to open this summer and had started the early prep work for the season ... until the February announcement happened.
Managed to keep the vandals away until May when the company that held the escrow decided they didn't need security anymore. (- I was the overnight security while Apex owned it. -)
I grew up going to this park, it’s so sad to see it close and the vandalism. The water ride was canoes or paddle boats. I miss this place! Thank you for covering it!
The antique cars!!
Same! I live in Texas currently but I was born and raised in Angola NY, about 45 mins or so from this park. I didn’t move till I was 24, and I literally did not know Fantasy Island went under until this video popped up in my feed 🥺😢 the vandalism, so upsetting.
I watched til the end. I used to work there as a rides mechanic when this place was booming. We built the waterparks log ride in 1985 and it has expanded since. It was great to stumble across your video but disappointing to see what has happened to the park. Fantasy Island has always been a family staple in western New York but I honestly don't see it coming back from this. Sad.
They already reopened in 2021. They plan to fully reopen in 2022
@@cupcakeeladiee8862 Thanks for the info! That's great news!
Opening in May 23
Why is Pinochio so angry? They broke the glass and stuffed a branch up his nose! I'd be peeved off that happened to me.
I thought so too. But in the movie when he's fibbing to the blue fairy, his nose grows so much that 🍃leaves come sprouting out. Even a birds nest lol.

Love how he said sweets instead of candy he was british for a few mins
Or Australian
Sweets and candy mean the same thing in the US.

@@samanthaspiker212 No one days "sweets" in Aus, they're "lollies" here haha
Imagine what Disneyland would look like if it was abandoned it scares me
Thats a nightmare!!!
I don't wanna imagine *le shudders*
That would never happen, some rich person would buy it.
It feels like its well on its way. :(
there are some Disney park abandoned
At my theme park teens died in a haunted house fire. It’s sad how everyone just forgot about those lives. When I visit I like to say a little prayer to spot where they died. It’s located in New Jersey. It’s called the Haunted Castle fire.
Great adventure Haunted Castle fire? I went through it once a few years before it happened..so sad
Won't lie, I'd take the stuffed animals. To give them to kids of course
Sure the kids 🤨🤣
Me to
They are full of bacteria and mold.
@@tektyger1 then clean it first.
@@tektyger1 its called wash them lol in a wash machine ... seriously u can just wash plushies if dirty
Worst part about abandoned amusement parks is that that they are never near me..... and people don't set up unwanted Halloween decorations to jump scare those who come to explore them.
No one needs that in their life
Closest I had when I lived in Southern California would have been in San Bernardino County. They have Rock-A-Hula water park that’s abandoned (I went there in late high school when it still operated) and Santa’s Village (never been).
This is in my hometown and we all hope it reopens soon . Josh thx for coming there . It is messed up how it looks .
Where is this place? It looks lovely! Hope it does open back up! X
@@miasmith1563 Grand Island NY , they are trying very hard to get backers to fund reopening the park , the mayor there just talked about it last week
always love how you add in old footage. sad that people took advantage of such a cool place.
Google earth shows this place so fresh . Just shows it doesn’t take long for people to destroy stuff. And of course I watched the entire video dah! 🙂
The image on google earth is only 2 years old. What a shame.
This is actually my local amusement park. We had season passes just 2 years ago. We were all so sad when it closed
Where is it
Had season pass just 2 year ago. We were all so sad when it closed
The abandoned stuffed animals broke my heart 🥺 I collect stuffed animals and these are vintage and rare 🥲 Plus look at their little faces left all alone 💔
I’m so sad of how world has come to. They left a lot of trash and other stuff behind. It needs a clean up. :(
I like your pfp-
When they closed it at the end of the 2019 season no one knew it would be shut down and sold off piece by piece. So they obviously left what they planned on using in the 2020 season but it was announced February 19 2020 that it was permanently shut down and almost all the ride sold off.
I hope the vandalism isn’t to expensive to repair when it reopens. I’d beyond pissed if I were the owner.
There's nothing there worth trying to salvage. Maybe a few of the structures, but not anything else.
Most owners with a wreck this bad they save the good, destroy the bad, rebuild the rest
Why do some people feel they have to vandalise things, good explore josh.
That's young punk kids for ya
Someone please go there and reascue the stuffed animals! They need a home! They have been abandon please save them
Dude i dont want demons in my house

Alrighty hi Conny I'm Salem

I grew up going to this park. This makes me so sad to see it so destroyed. I remember the western shows, so many memories here.
26:07 . . . How sad to see the message on that sign.
I love it how Josh brings back parts of history that we have forgotten about and brings it back to life for us to see 😀
He clearly enjoys what he does. You can hear it in his voice.
If you like stuff like this you should look up The Proper People. They do the same thing. They've been doing it for years. They have some amazing vidoes
I was born near there and we moved away when I was 3. We went back when I was 9 and I still have memories of being there. It was in 1984 right after it reopened that we went.
Me to I'm actually staying n Saratoga springs now
I am from the Syracuse area, my family went in 84 too, I was 4. I remembered the fairytale village the 3rd one was the crooked man in the crooked house. I legit thought those houses were further away from each other.
The kiddie boat ride it the other thing I remember. I flipped a kid off on that ride that called me fat....and all the parents saw. I think my mother almost died of embarrassment. At least how she tells it.
Also the eagles landing didn’t have a track or anything, you got to freely kayak around that middle island
I absolutely love how you edit your videos showing the park in it's lively state, and then show what remains of it now. Incredibly haunting.
Abandoned places remind me alot of fallout, maybe because of the abandoned aspect of most of the places in fallout though
Yesssss! It reminded me of the last of us 2 in some parts of theme parks
So true 👍 we did an abandoned ghost town about a week ago 😊😊😁
Lol
Absolutely agreed. Like think of it as these old wonderful places where everybody would go to be happy! And then things come crashing down because there are too many serious things that other people have to concern themselves with. And just imagine the amount that you could buy these parcels of land and fix it up?
Everything you've built will be wasted, nothing and no one really matter for real. All is just game called life and death, very boring repetitive game of all universes.
I always enjoy every single abandoned video that you upload.
I watched the entire video!💚,KELLY from Las Vegas, Nv.👍😘😉
Imagine taking all those abandoned toys and donation it to a shelter . How happy those kids would be to have something from santa.
Yeah but they also might have mold on them...
@@millisagable1318 u can wash them duh
I wouldnt recommend that with the stuffed toys, and plastic will have broekn down by now x
Hey Josh! I am from this area and grew up going to Fantasy Island. It is truly so sad seeing the condition it's in being such a short period of time. Although, I was able to see the place the way it used to be and it brought back amazing memories. It was so nice having you be the one to explore this place, you have brought memories back for so many and you did it with the greatest respect. ❤
This would be a great horror movie, a guy videoing him walking around finding out about the backstory going behind the scenes and then things start going wrong.
I love hearing the excitement in your voice 😂
This is so cool!
Omg hello!
I’m gonna sub to all your channels!
bruh
Hiiii im a big fan
:0 hIiI
Josh I just gotta say you are one of my all time favorite explorers to watch. You've got a great personality and I can truly tell how much you love doing what you do! Thank you for your content man, you've allowed me to keep exploring while stuck at home quarantining :)
I went there when I was young, I was there 5 years ago. This place was a death trap, it finally was closed due to a huge law suit. A little girl was sexually assaulted on a ride because a worker forced her to sit alone with a man she didn’t know.

@@tayloranderson7547 wtf
Wow , poor girl 😱😱😱😱😱
It's pretty sad how destroyed it is already. I live in Pennsylvania and have heard of it before, though I haven't been myself. My family has gone before, while it was still open, and it's something a lot of people enjoyed. I hope they can fix it up for more people to have fun in.
JOSH! You are the best, man! I have to tell you it is just pure joy to see you in another amusement park. Your channel is the very first one I ever subscribed to when I got into UA-cam and I've followed you through underground drainage tunnels with eerie voices, abandoned mansions that you had to climb into from the basement and even whole abandoned towns! You are the best at this. You let people see history and the effect of time's passing. You really draw people into the places you take us to and make us live it as if we were there. My two favorite quotes that I got a good laugh from are "These are the games you pay for to play to try to win stuffed animals, but nobody ever really wins." (so true). And of course, "Water slides are meant to have water in it." I am way too old now to be doing anything like this, but when I was in my twenties I would have been so right there with you. Keep up the amazing fun you have FOR us and WITH us. Don't stop doing what you do, because we will be right there, looking through your lens and following your footsteps. Keep rising above. And who wouldn't watch all the way to the end?! I did. Great stuff as always!
"thank you all for a great season. Can't wait for 2020" that's just sad 😔
Apex tried to take the money spent on season passes and run knowing they closed the park.
This was my childhood park.. I’m so heartbroken to see it like this and it just closed 😕
Same
I worked here as a life guard, fun fact. I miss this place everyday.
What year did you lifeguard? Cause I did too!!
The fact that I have so many clear memories hanging out with family and friends in that park makes seeing it abandoned 10x sadder. I live pretty close to the park, so my mom and I used to go all the time. So sad. Thank God someone decided to reopen it
Steve Ronin did a video of Fantasy Island and I'm glad Explpring With Josh did one too because we can now have two different perspectives, one from each creator.
Josh! You hit a nerve with me when you said "People came here for a day and had the time of their life". I suddenly remembered every amusement park I ever went to and the fun time I had every time. Thanks for the flash backs! I watched the whole video and gave a thumbs up!
94th out of over 700 to write what Josh asked! You are epically awesome!!!
@@llewisdolphins Thanks! What a nice gesture!
Absolutely and it was well earned. I hope you smiled. Nice to get a kudos from a complete stranger that sees what you did and how important it was to someone else!😁
@@llewisdolphins You did much more than make me smile! You made my day, week and maybe month. I, like so many at this moment in time desperately need nice. It gives us Faith in Humanity. Thanks Again.
My pleasure my friend!😁
You make some of my favorite content. Been following for 4ish years I think & I'm so happy for how far you've come. I appreciate these videos so much.
MY GRANDPARENTS USED TO TAKE MY SIBLINGS AND I THERE WHEN WE WERE LITTLE. IT WAS SUCH A FUN PLACE THIS BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE IT SO DESTROYED😭 So glad it’s reopening, it was a really cool park back in the late 2000s/early 2010s when I last went

I grew up on Grand Island Josh and spent many summers at Fantasy Island. I could tell you many stories about this park.
I absolutely loved fantasy island as a kid! The Silver Comet was my first ever roller coaster and I loooved it! Western town was so awesome too, I loved the live shows where the actors would fall off the roofs!
I love following you. I have been watching you now for two years and I'm so thankful that you are an adventurer and an explorer! You take me out of my home and I feel that I am there exploring alongside you. Thank you!
19:35 my favorite has almost been coca cola, blue raspberry, & mtn dew😂
Same
This was my absolute favorite place to go growing up! We cried the day they announced that they were closing 💔
Wish folk had a little more respect for places like this, though I do want a blue slushie now haha, great video Josh, watched the whole thing!
I remember going here when I was younger so many great memories here it sucks to see it in this shape before you said the place I swore it looked familiar also the silver comet was the first big roller coaster I ever went on and it was so fun and the old western shows I’ll never forget they used to do shoot outs and they’d shoot the guy off the roof that’s the high dive injury I assume it’s so weird seeing your videos for years of all these cool places and I actually have experienced this place I could go on and on about this place
I always wanted to explore abandon theme parks but I'm too.clumsy but I feel like I can write a book on them and create a story with them. But it's also sad that they abandoned it.
I do too but they are all so far away from me i dont possibly have the time or anyone to go with
@@maylily820 that too but once I'm old enough im.going to get some friends and we can travel together
@@Darkrose23984 tale me with you 😂
@@maylily820 include me
This is so sad. I grew up going there and it was just a couple years ago that I had my nieces there. They loved the puppy roller coaster in kiddie land.
Thanks so much for this, I was a small boy when my family and I went to Fantasy Island. As you stated, so many of us have fond memories of this place, especially with my 2 sisters. I truly hope that someone does turn this park around - fingers crossed.
Its so weird how they just up and left. Like usually they clear stuff out before abandoning it
they prob thought they'd be back ! :/ given their last season was in 2019. 2020 was likely just the final nail in the coffin on this place.
I live in the area where fantasy Island is and I grew up going to the waterpark every day because we didn’t have a pool and going on school trips with my classes. It’s just really sad to see it go and drive by it every day seeing it just rot away in front of my eyes
Josh your so nice you literally don’t take anything I would have lmao
Just popped up on recommended and title sounded cool, had no idea this was going to be about my home park! Good memories there growing up
I used to read “where the wild things are” as a kid 😢 brings back so many memories
"I watch the entire video" (courtesy of Josh telling me to lol).
Ditto I blindly followed his instructions too, lol. Reading the comments, you are the first one that said it and I have been through at least 30 or so! 😊
Me too! I figured there’s a reason for this so why not!
There's an abandoned amusement park in the Adirondack mountains called Frontier town

@@llewisdolphins it only makes sense to watch it all the way through. @exploringwithjosh has such great content. Thank you.
I agree! But I wanted to share an obvious observation of those that actually wrote what Josh asked for without thinking about themselves. These small but selfless things are not brought to attention and with the way our world is right now, I simply shared the love and called attention to the small yet powerful selfless act of writing a few words you were asked to knowing there was no gain for you other than satisfaction for doing it. So that being said, you are a beautiful human for doing something selfless without even knowing you did!😁
@@llewisdolphins thank you so much for your kind words. We definitely need more positivity in this world right now. We wish you health and many great times to come!
I grew up going to fantasy island, I miss this place alot, I hate how other people trashed this place :( we are hoping this place makes a comeback in the future!
I live right by this and grew up going to this place because it was the closest theme park, besides darien lake. so many memories came flooding back when you were walking around and showing all of this. it's really sad that it had to shut down.
Hi! So I’ve been to this place quite a few times, I live in this area along with my family and while it was active over the years we went here almost ever summer. I really loved this place and it was so fun- especially the water parks and rides- and stuff. Though it’s been awhile since we’ve been here- since around roughly...2018 ish.
"Pig wings" lol. If pigs could fly
I spent my childhood at this park. Thanks for bringing back the flood gate of memories to me even thought the park is Abandoned.
"i always got the blueberry" *points to blue raspberry*
Wow my grandmother took me there all the time. It was so much fun.
Random but those clouds in the background were beautiful. You explored on a gorgeous day
Edit: entire vid
You are the 6th commenter not including myself that followed directions. You are awesome!
I grew up in this park. I hope they bring it back. This makes me so sad
What happened that this was abandoned? That’s really sad. There’s an abandoned mall just across the street from the bowling alley that my friends and I bowl at that brings me so many memories.
its called fantasy island and they went bankrupt and ended up losing the amusement park, i remember going there a lot and i miss it so much

11:15 That was never a casino, just an ice cream shop with a show thoughout the day.
12:27 As I said in Seth's vid this was a kayak rental. Also yes the water always looked that scummy
14:55 a game where you knock down little stuffed cats or clowns with balls.

@@NEMOsleeps24 oh wow, sorry man. everything just has to be abandoned and destroyed and its just sad :(
Covid-19 fucked a lot of amusement parks. In my city a 80 years amusement park and symbol of the city is almost going out of business, its called Parque Guanabara. The population created a petition to the city save the park and donations to save the park, at least to pay the workers.
@@vkanthems6744 yeah man, corona sucks and everything has to close down, some even have to go permanently
I have Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm as childhood memories. Id cry if they closed.
That seems like it would have been a pretty cool place if it ever opens again you should go back when it’s in operation josh that would be cool
It was but it was competing with 6 flags Darien lake
Love how excited you get but love even more how respectful you are that you just check things out. Thanks for showing us your world.
This is MY Fantasy Island! Before COVID and its closure I was planning on visiting it in the summer, but we always ended up so busy....and this is the only vintage-style amusement park I can visit in the area. I prefer that style of amusement park to big chain trill parks like Six Flags at Darien Lake. But, GOOD NEWS EVERYONE. It has been bought by some local business owners and they plan on restoring and reopening it! Here's hoping they're able to follow through! Fantasy Island was and IS the best!
I live near fantasy island I live in Niagara falls. I went there alot with my family. Im just sad that people do this.
as a six flags worker i can confirm that people can win arcade games they aren’t rigged. i was in the games department.
I went here till it closed my whole life I'm literally crying rn😭😭😭😭
It’s so so sad to think that this place had life and fun and memorable moments for families and it’s just all left behind. SO SAD
