Fantasy Island Amusement Park in Beach Haven will hold a private, invitation-only ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Aug. 8 at 3 p.m. for its new “Giant Wheel.” It replaces a similar ride that had been at the park for nearly 30 years.

“It’s all part of maintaining and keeping things up to date,” said Brian Wainwright, chief executive officer. “The wheel began operating on July 1, but we wanted to hold a special ceremony with borough officials and other people present.”
