After Sandy, Fantasy Island Arcade Back Open for Business

Since Sandy pushed about 10 inches of water into the arcade room at Fantasy Island in Beach Haven crews have been working "nonstop" to get the arcade opened again.

This weekend, that effort will pay off, as the arcade holds its official “Grand Re-opening," according to Kelly Wyckoff, the park's assistant marketing director.

Wyckoff said the arcade usually stays open throughout the winter, so the fact that they can reopen is a return to "normalcy."

She said crews have been checking the games to make sure they are in good working order and ready for this weekend.

The arcade will be open starting at noon on Saturday, Feb. 16, and Sunday, Feb. 17, as well as at 10 a.m. on Monday, Feb 18. There will be prizes for people throughout the weekend.

Fantasy Island’s outside park will open for it's official 29th season Saturday, May 18.
