2016
Funland reopened that year with a new Roller Coaster replacing the Klondike Gold Mine, which is called Runaway Mine Train, originally located at Gulliver's World as the Wild Mine Ride.
In June, the park added a new Snake Helter-Skelter ride replacing the old one, and the Super Dragon returned after a refurbishment with a new dinosaur theme, a new lick of paint and a new name, Funlandosarus.
After the season ended the Woody Coaster and The Drop were removed from the park after many years.
2017
Funland reopened on Saturday 18th February which featured the return of the Trains ride, which was left not operating for the 2016 season (lkikely for a referbishment).
2 new rides which will replace The Drop and Woody Coaster will open at a later date.

Extreme
On August 18, 2013, a 10-year-old boy from Waterlooville slipped off the ride, but wasn't injured in the process as he was saved by 2 children sitting next to him. The accident might have happened due to the safety bar of the ride not closing right.
