Jubilee Odysee aint that great, infact its pretty pants for how much they expect you to pay. Plus, its really painful in parts, and not been that much of a realiable coaster. After just one year, parts of the track had to be lowered and replaced because on numerous occasions the trains stalled midway.

The only decent ride there, is The Beast (a Mondial Topscan ride) or the Fantasy Mouse spinning coaster....thats pretty kool too.

how much are the rides there?

You pay by way of tokens, the most expensive being £4 for the Millenium Coaster/ Jubilee Odyssey tokens with cover most of the newer, bigger rides. Other than that, tokens are fifty pence each and rides take up to four/five tokens.

I personally don't like Skegness, but Ingoldmells rocks :P

Am originally from somewhere in Lincolnshire that is fairly close to Skegness, Mablethorpe, Ingoldmells, etc and have always hated the general tacky horrible feel of those places. Mind you, have played some good gigs there. But to be fair, i'd rather take out my eyes with a rusty spoon then go to Skegness anytime soon....er..maybe being slightly harsh there....

NO, MABLETHORPE IS MY BABY!! *Covers ears* I refuse to hear a word against it!

Well, I must say, Fantasy Island certainly adds appeal to Ingoldmells, although I can't see where the attraction of Bottons Please Beach - Skegness comes in...

Anyone ever been there? Me has pictures should anyone request them.

The best rides at fantasy island is volcanick eroption (soz abbout rubbish spelling) since thay have don it up and that one that shots u right up in the air on 3 pillars, the rest ar pants . Also that huge big wheel is quite good but thay should hav faced it towards the sea would have been better. if you go on jubilly odesey where head protection it hurts more than corkscrew

what a pile of poo.

they have loads of great rides including a Sky Coaster, Topscan, Volcanic eruption and a Gyroswing type ride that goes all the way over the top.

well sorry. i was just putting my opinion forward of what i thorght of the rides there and also when i go there most of the time i get draged around the market for most of day. also i have never seen a Sky Coaster and Topscan (isn't that beast thing it) there in the 7 years i have been going so could you ell me where they are

Sazzle · Fri Jun 11, 2004 7:59 pm

They have no Skycoaster, they have a skyshot.

Amazing Confusion is the new 'gyroswing type ride' and is called... Something I can't remember right now but will find out and report back ASAP.

Volcanic Eruption has had modifications done to it whereby the seats tilt out by approximately twenty degrees when reaching half way up the tower.

I must admit, the new Giant Wheel looks very, very impressive - especially with all the lights attached etc. Shame about the four quid price tag. It wouldn't have been possible for them to place it near the sea due to high winds.

almost the same thing.. but thanks for pointing that out.

Is it me, or does he contradict himself before he's even finished? Never seen a topscan at fantasy island... but thinks the Beast is one
