The Millennium roller coaster was built by Vekoma, a Dutch roller coaster manufacturer, to celebrate the arrival of the new millennium but despite its name, was opened in May 1999. It was Fantasy Island's first 'Extreme Thrill Ride', and circles the park's signature pyramid structure.

With a top speed of 55.9 mph, it is also the fourth tallest British roller coaster, with a maximum height of 45.5 metres.

The ride features a vertical loop, a side winder and an additional vertical loop. It finishes in a low helix, which swoops down to a level just above head height of those in the amusement park, frequently startling the unsuspecting public.

The Standard will be joining Fantasy Island Live for the ride. Have fun!
