And the winner is: Wainwright Amusement LLC. The owners and operators of Fantasy Island in Beach Haven received the final approval needed to proceed with a family-style entertainment center at the Causeway Circle in Ship Bottom Tuesday night, Aug. 23.

“I’m excited to move forward,” Wainwright said after his game license application was approved by the borough council following a public hearing during which a handful of residents spoke for or against the matter in front of a packed audience.
