Fantasy Island was a waterpark once located at Sentosa, Singapore from 1994 to 2001, on the part of the present site of Universal Studios Singapore of the Resorts World Sentosa.^[1]

Background[]

Opened on 8 December 1994 at a cost of S$54 million,^[2] the waterpark had an 8-lane giant slide and a number of other high-speed water slides and other features.

Attractions[]

There were about 16 different water rides at waterpark, notably:

• Medusa
• Double Trouble
• Gang of Four
• Black Hole
• Flashflood
• Wild wild wet

Decline and closure[]

However, its popularity waned over time due to its high entrance fees and its inaccessibility. It was also known for its high injury rate that often resulted in several people getting injured, including the two drowning fatalities in 1998 and 2000^[3] respectively. All these issues and accidents led to the eventual closure of Fantasy Island in Sentosa on 2 November 2001.^[4][5]
