About Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World

Niagara Amusement Park and Splash World, located at Fantasy Island in Grand Island, New York, has announced it will remain closed for the 2026 summer season. The operator cited attendance and revenue levels in recent seasons that were not enough to cover operating costs and the investment needed to rebuild the park. Season pass holders for 2026 are being offered full refunds, and no action is needed from them. The operator says it is focused on managing the transition and evaluating future options for the property, and no ownership change has been finalized. The park still plans to continue its July 4th fireworks tradition from the grounds, with details to be announced later.
