Owner Alec Dabell says his team has "sprinkled Blackgang magic" on the rides.

A host of events have also been confirmed, inlcuding plans for a 'romantic' midnight glow, one of three sessions featuring hot air balloons at Robin Hill, near Arreton.

After a challeging couple of years, the team is ready to embrace the new season, they told the Isle of Wight County Press.
