00:00We're at Fear Island, this is 9 and we're on our own.
00:27We caught up with the Deputy Mayor Jimmy Brooks. You're still here, are you scared? You're
00:39about to go into Psycho Mansion. Terrified. No, I'm looking forward to it. It's really
00:46good fun. I've been round a couple of them. So I'm looking forward to this one. Well I've
00:54just got through and I've survived. Oh, have you been in the area? I have, yes. I thought
00:58I heard some screaming. Yeah, that was probably me. It's brilliant. Do that again. Don't you
01:13tell me what to do, I'll tell you what to do. Hi, I'm Heidi, I'm the Event Coordinator
01:21for Fantasy Island. Now we've just been through Ravenous at Fear Island and it was pretty
01:28scary, I have to admit. It won an award I understand last year? Yes, so Ravenous won
01:35the Scarecon's Best Scare Experience in Europe award, which was a fantastic achievement for
01:41the Ravenous team and for Fear Island and Fantasy Island. Now this is always an exciting
01:46time, isn't it, for Fantasy Island. What do you have that's new this year? So we've
01:52had a little revamp of the attractions from last year, so we have Outpost and Ravenous
01:56and they've had a little bit of a revamp. For the new attraction this year we have Nine
02:01Circles, which is absolutely horrifying. You go in there on your own, you can't use a friend
02:06as a bodyguard or a shield, it's a completely solo experience. And we have the Phantoms
02:11of Sidecut Mansion, which is our family friendly attraction. Because that has been a more scary
02:17attraction in the past, but it is quite an incredible house, isn't it? It's a wonderful
02:22structure definitely, the lighting, everything, it really makes the experience. Okay, so how
02:29long are you on for? So the event begins on the 19th of October and we are every day,
02:357 minutes of Tuesdays to the 3rd of November. Fireworks are on the 2nd of November and you
02:41can save time to stand by blocking my mic. So there's plenty of opportunities to come
02:45down to Fear Island in Ingham Halls and get very frightened. Absolutely.
