Climbing Abandoned Roller Coaster GONE WRONG | Exploring Fantasy Island Theme Park
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Sinematic Seth travels to the Canadian border with Exploring With Josh and friends to explore an abandoned theme park called Fantasy Island that closed in 2019. Seth also came here two years ago when it was active, and it looks eerily similar. He came across all the abandoned buildings with everything left behind - official merchandise, rides, arcade games, even food and deserts left behind. Seth explored alone for most of the day until he starts climbing the roller coaster with KC, but that's where things had gone wrong...

This was a really special explore for me. I came here when the park was open two years ago, which was fun, but it's even more fun exploring it with my friends in its abandoned state. The whole day I just felt like I was in a dream. Off camera I actually laid down in the water slide with kc, closed my eyes, and just listened to the sounds around me. It was just so peaceful. I'll never forget any moment of this day. What was your favorite part of the park?
That you had been there when it was open, that perspective, priceless. Thanks for sharing 🐨
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I agree! Seth you took it to the next level with the intro! Plus abandoned Merch? What? That is so cool.
Did I just watch Josh's? Yes . DId I then automatically click on my notification from Seth? Also yes 👍
This was a favorite place from my childhood back in the 60's, and then I took my own kids. Was hoping to take my grandkids, hopefully new ownership will do as they say. So many great memories here as a child and as an adult. My favorite thing here was what I called the crooked house. Not sure if it survived the last owner or not.
I live in Grand Island and worked at Fantasy Island for a few summers. It’s weird to see the place so abandoned. Also, the red bag you saw was Loganberry, a local favorite drink.
I grew up 15 minutes from here and spent countless summer days here, so crazy to see it abandoned, thanks man for the awesome video
No problem dude, thanks for watching! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
I remember when they had the animals petting and feeding before I still remember that
@@PyroHockey729 me too were did you live im in Niagara Falls
Dude I went here for so many years. My family lived in Buffalo and we lived in Florida but would visit every summer and this place was so fun back in the 80s and 90s
Sad to see that people have to graffiti everything. Just go around and explore if you want to, just don't damage/vandalize things.
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS watch both Seth's and Josh' videos BECAUSE; Seth will always film something that Josh didn't and Josh will always film something that Seth didn't. That way, you won't miss a single thing. Tip of the day!
This is so sad to me I’m
From grand island and i went there as a child and took my children until the very last year. 😩 thanks for making this.
Grand island buddies
@Matthew i think the new owners are the cowboys that did the show but there’s not enough capital as of now it’s completely trashed
I was a season ticket holder through to the close (and yes i got a refund on the 2020 season). My kids loved it! It was declining and not what it use to be. Each year it got a lil worse. We even attended the Halloween horror just before they closed for good. So many memories from here. In the back there's fencing that leads to the camp grounds as well. Thank you for being respectful, so many have trashed it and with any luck new owners are hoping to bring it back. Those that have trashed it only make that dream harder.
the absolute joy in his voice as he realizes he’s discovered year old fudge brings a smile to my face
This made me feel so inexpressibly sad- I grew up going to this park since I was old enough to remember 💜 thank you for making this video, it felt like closure
Seth, your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious. It draws me in and I feel like I’m right there with you! Thanks for another great video. Saturday with Seth...it was fun! ✌🏼❤️
I just love what I do! I’m glad I can make you feel that way, Thanks for watching!
I grew up coming to this park. When the park closed it broke me. I loved this park. It was incredible
This is another example of my childhood days gone by. Crystal beach was another of my favorite amusement parks.
I miss this place so many fun memories 😢that toilet bowl ride I can remember going on it exactly how it went down
I used to come to this place when I was little. This is my hometown and part of my childhood. I haven't gone there since like middle school but to see it close was really sad. It seems they may be reopening in a year or two but to see it abandoned like this was wild. Thanks for this upload.
I grew up on the island, we went here all the time. I met my wife at the high school and we used to go on dates there. We left 12 years ago, but came back to see my parents and took our kids to go on the same rides we went on. I really appreciate that you did this video. By the way the first ride that was moved was the Chaos.
this place was my childhood. it’s so sad to see the place I pretty much grew up with abandoned and left to rot
😯😯 WOW. I thought I was watching an ad for a film. 👍😯🐨
Drone shots 👊
Omg an Icee machine, the original 7-11 shop slurpee
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
Thanks so much for these uploads Seth, I always look forward to the weekends to hunkerdown and watch your uploads. I really appreciate the time, effort and creativity you put into these vids, almost seems like a mini documentary, solid work bro, you, Josh, Bethany and Cassie make a solid crew. You guys are awesome, sorry for the long comment, but these videos are just awesome, thanks again!!
so crazy to see it like this, havent been in forever but i remember having so much fun and i had a school trip here in 2nd grade!!
Same here grew up 15 minutes away and spent NUMEROUS Summers there. My husband grew up "On the Island". I can't believe being closed for such a short time the amount of vandalism and disrespect for the property. Fantasy Island is supposed to Re-Open Summer of 2022. With the amount of damage and some rides were sold I don't know how that's possible! Hey Josh✌️ Your video about Fantasy Island was awesome also!
Wow I came to this park when visiting family in Niagara in 2001. It was my first and only trip to Canada (I’m in the U.K.) and have great memories from over there and from the theme park. I have a photo of my cousin and I crying as we had got onto the rollercoaster and changed our minds but it was too late and realisation set in LOL. Thank you this was a special watch for me!
That’s so cool! I’m glad you found this vid and got to relive it, but in a different way. Thanks for watching!
The theme park is not in canada
@Betting4Life the theme park was located on the American side, which is on the border of Canada, maybe 10 minutes away from Niagara Falls
Am so glad someone brought the park can't wait til next summer
I went to the KOA campsite next to this and you could see the roller coaster sticking out of the trees! Super cool and I went in 2020 so it was already abandoned!
I grew up around here, countless summers I spent here and loving every moment of it. It's so sad to see it look like this
Woww that’s so crazyyy especially that you also have memories of this place being open and having fun with friends and family! I really hope that they will reopen it and restore it
I just watched this I also grew up to go to fantasy island as I live 30 mins away my mother and I loved the western shows. I am happy to announce they have new owners bringing it back under a new name. I’m so excited to have it back hopefully with the silver comet still running and the shows back.
This is so sad. It was just a couple years ago that I took my 3 young nieces there’s. They loved the puppy roller coaster in kiddie land.
I loved fantasy island... As an islander, I hate having this place disappear, even if i got stuck on the crazy mouse
you absolutely nailed that intro.... I can’t wait for you to be making movies
I love you
Fantastic job, Seth! Beautiful job
oh wow seth i never knew you explored here that’s crazy i’m so glad i found this video i grew up going here its so sad to see what the park looks like now but i was also rlly wondering what it looked like thank you for the great video ❤️
A local favorite for exploring. Probably been there 10 times over the past 3 years. Some of the best memories I got from GI.
There are new owners for this park. YOU GUYS ARE TRESPASSING!!!!
Shut up Karen
She is right absolutely trespassing!!!
@@caitlynncooke2276 shut the fuck up karen
This was my childhood park growing up and my kids childhood park. We had season passes up till 2017 when Apex took over and things just started declining...I have so many videos and pictures here with my kids. It's so heartbreaking to see the Condition that it's in😔
Man the condition sad me. I grew up in the park it was 20 minutes away from where I live.
Its back fantasy island is back there bringing back the rides
Thank you for the contents Seth
Thanks for watching!
This makes me sad. Went there almost everyday as a kid in the summer and my mom worked there as a teen. Was upset when they announced it closing. I hope they will reopen 🙏
as a local, who lives on grand island, it was bound to happen. After the park go new owners it just started to go down hill, with many of the rides having to be shut down. It's kinda creepy to see it today, its also is apparently going to be open this summer, 2022, but only the waterpark. yes its sad that it closed but it looks so cool now and many locals in the past 3-4 years have been going to Daren Lake, a theme park I believe own by six flags. But its so cool seeing people explore the place. @Seth Borden I hope you and @ExploringWithJosh can explore more abandoned and haunted places here in Buffalo & Niagara Falls
I grew up going to this amusement park. I went atleast once a year with friends and family. So many memories, I'd love to explore it with some friends some day before security takes hold of the situation and puts a stop to the exploring.
Seth never looks like crap
He is always handsome.
I live in Buffalo and I just remember weekend after weekend I came here with my family and all of the memories are coming back
That was really cool nice seen the park we use to go to years ago
I love watching you guys!! And, this place was one of my favorites for sure. I just found your stuff about a month ago so every night I watch. I get to live vicariously through you and Josh. I don’t have Instagram yet but, will ask my daughter for help(Lol) so I can get some of your photos. Thanks for the Adventures!!!
That thing you said looked like a river was where they had paddle boats you could do a few laps in and they geese and ducks it was pretty chill
Dude back in the 80s the Devil's Hole ride was a metal drum lines with wood and the floor would drop, it also had a upper portion that was stationary so you could watch. My mom used her camcorder and recorded us riding in it lol
omg bro i live a mile away from here, im so sad that its closed. im so happy to see you here tho!!
I live on Grand Island this is just sad. It’s Loganberry that was in the packet that you thought was blood. It’s a soda. The one game was a shootout the star game with a BB gun. We also call it a thruway not highway 🤣
Omg that BB game was rigged 😂, agreed tho I havent been to Fantasy since 2017 its sad
Hiya fellow islander
@@LeBongFairy hello!!!
Hello from Niagara county! 👋
@@NotAJosh hiii!!!
I know that you always enjoy doing all your videos. But I can see that you are more enjoying this. Haha you seems excited and I can say that it really memorable to you
I was really happy to be exploring this park. I’m glad you enjoyed the vid!
12:39 no one has officially bought anything they’re still trying to buy it. They need to get investors before they can officially buy it. And even though you particularly didn’t vandalize anything when you were there technically you weren’t supposed to be there. The people that are trying to buy it specifically stated that people need to stay away from the park.
Well done Seth. I appreciate the details and perspective you provided
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you liked it.
literally my childhood.. so many season pass filled summers... and camping there too :3
My hometown! Born and raised. Spent many summers at Fantasy Island... Every 4th of July they had a huge fireworks display.
The “fake blood” is most likely loganberry, a WNY favorite.
I used to go there every summer. The places you show in the video bring back so many memories. I have pictures of them all. I remember performing with my elementary Chorus on the stage you showed. This is crazy.
Omg and seeing the old Tyme photos!!!! I took one with my family at Fantasy Island when I was like 4 or 5.
This place was my childhood. So sad.
The lion show was awesome
Former worker(grounds and ride op)for 3 years up until the last day here
13:04 That was a kayak rental place pay the attendant and you could go for a lap around the river
13:30 That was actually a western themed merch shop where you could buy fake pop guns.
15:37 nah it ALWAYS looked that that.
16:32 that was a game where you threw balls at cats or clowns to knock them over.
18:52 that was the 'mega disk'o' a small Zamperla disko coaster
19:47 That's one of the catered pavilions for corporate/church events and rich birthday parties/ family gathering. Yes they would cook and serve food from those buffet tables.
20:07 You're not that ride was torn down before I worked there. Why they are there I don't know.
21:40: That foot print ethier has to be the Full Tilt and/or the tilt a whirl.
24:12 It was used as a show in the '18 season (it was pure cringe and I don't think was ever popular) but otherwise it was where I'd go to hide from my manager and rest my feet abit.
29:55 The butthole graffiti made me chuckled as everyone one called that slide 'the toilet bowl'
The theme park is NOT abandoned. They have plans on reopening it under a new company. That's why so much stuff was left behind. Usual there is still security patrolling it. Glad you didnt get caught!
I went here every summer since I was like 4! (26 now) have soooooo many memories of this place. I really do hope they bring it back!
And the more these types of jerks 'explore' this, the less chance they have to re-open it.
This was my childhood and i miss it
The western shoot out lasted a long we use to go back in the 80s and then we would go to that corner building which was a gift shop and buy cap guns and stuff
22:10 that abonded old timey looking car was part of a ride where you would drive it around a long scenic track but it was on a rail so you couldn't drive off the path but could still steer it a lil bit and across from this ride was a roller coaster called the Wild Mouse lol
This is awesome. I've been there so many times
Your videos getting much better and better than before.....now more fun to watch ur video...n intro is everything.. can't skip them😁
Love your enthusiasm Seth! Brought back so many memories. My friend was a stunt guy at the western town. He would fall off the roof. Crazy I do hope it reopens. Just found your videos and really enjoyed it. Subscribed🤓stay safe
good thing Gene Staples bought this place and s revitalising t and adding new rides.
Hi Seth, I have to say it I'm sorry, your video was way better than Josh's, I really felt like I had seen everything there was to see with your video. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventure, much love. xx💖🤘
This was my childhood 😢 so crazy and sad
The first ride that you showed that was gone was the spinning saucer ride. You sat on a bike type thing and it pushed you against it and spun while it went back and fourth on a inclined ramp! It was so fun
Bro that intro and your vibe!!! Jezzz bro! Who am I watching? Warner Bros??❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant Seth
MANY great memories there...Thank's guys!!
Man alive. Kid you are showing yourself in the video. You do know you are trespassing right??? Courts will not accept well the park was closed for good.... Still trespassing.....
I used to live a couple miles away from there - you could hear the Lions Roar (yes they had a real lion show)
I don’t know why but I love this channel
Because Seth is awesome. That's the only reason you need!
30:42 love that someone painted lil butthole on water hole 😂 This was a great video man.
Dang I used to go there when I was younger. I live in the falls.😭
Its crazy watching this video. The empty spot by the ferris wheel was where the log ride was and over by the river theres an empty spot where there was a fun ride that Rocked you back and forth into the air. So much nostalgia 😔
Used to camp there in the summer with my family and ride the little train to the park great memories
24:12 that was the old high dive pool they just filled it with concrete after the incident.
Seth, don’t you pack water when you explore!
Love the drone shots of now the area looks now!
Love the video and photos of what it looked like when it was open!
Josh did the water slide without the mat!
I will NEVER SUPPORT Apex Parks group ever again. This park was a disaster when they owned it. Honesty the true Fantasy Island we all loved closed in 2016 when Apex bought the park and started slowly destroying it.
Yes seth ! Such an awesome day with you guys 🖤
I’m glad you liked it!
I miss riding the silver comet and water park and watching Wild West lol it sad
As someone who lives in buffalo I love watching these videos!!
That's dope! Thanks for watching!
I grew up going to this park. It has only been abandoned for two years
The view is nice
The pizza box was from a local pizzeria, probably brought in by one of the workers or someone like you that broke in.
Crazy thing is it’s not abandoned and their trying to fix it up
I really loved this video, thanks Seth!
I’m glad! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
So cool! I’m from Canada and about 2 hours away from Niagara Falls. Hopefully it stays here for awhile so I can explore it one day once it’s safe to do so! Nice video. 💖
Hopefully it re-opens, but the more people 'explore' the park, the less and less chance it will have to reopen.
Another great video Seth! Very enjoyable and your narration, great!
The yellow corner place in western town was the cap gun and hat shop not a diner
Yeah this place was crazy I live about 2 minutes away from this place I am so thankful that you made a video about it it brings back so many memories of when me and my cousin and my whole entire family went there my cousin was first job was fantasy Island working at the fairis wheel I was wondering if I could DM you for some questions about it
Often times, these amusement parks close because of a bad economy in the area, or too many insurance claims, or safety violations.
I love how excited you get. It's def infectious. :) Speaking of NY, have you ever explored the Adler hotel??? You should def check out some pics and stuff. It's abandoned now, but we went there for my cousin's reception (and it was creepy and seemed abandoned then!).
So 😥 to see such a mess
☺ Around the 8:39 mark thats syrup flavor for a fountain drink. but when you first showed that bag my thought was it was fake blood too. ☠
Haha that’s good to know! I honestly had no clue what it was
@@sethborden it’s loganberry
I grew up going to this place😞
I think that “bag of blood” may be Logan Berry drink concentrate (A Buffalo NY tradition). Also, that was the first big boy coaster I went on as a kid; I think I was 6 or 7?!
Cool place hope it re opens
Same!
