    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Matt N it is on their rumours page http://riderater.co.uk/rumours/ SilverArrow where were you searching for planning applications? I know Flamingo Land falls under Ryedale county so was searching planning applications on there but I don’t think it’s accurate/up to date as when you search...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Total rumour at this stage and from what I’ve heard it’s expected July which seems ambitious. However some of the smaller rides in the area circled have been relocated already so who knows... Edit: Won’t let me add second pic but anyway, go to google maps and take a look at colossus in Thorpe...

    Theme park YouTubers: what do you think of them?

    Maybe it’s an age thing but I hate YouTube vlogs for anything really. Ridiculously over enthusiastic and pan out a 30 second snippet of information to ten to fifteen minutes of absolute dross. That said, if I saw a vlogger at a park I wouldn’t be bothered but I certainly wouldn’t give them the...

    Do you count coasters you rode pre-enthusiast?

    Why wouldn’t you? I’d never have Go Gator at Flamingo Land if I didn’t ;)

    WTF Merlin?

    Love island will be a massive success and fair play to them for capitalising on such an ‘in’ IP. Like some fans will literally pay the entrance to Thorpe on the off chance of getting a selfie with Wes, Alex or even Hayley (...I am reliably informed by the wife these are names of ‘contestants’ in...

    Corkscrew (Flamingo Land) Age

    Are you being sarcastic and there is ‘an appropriately stored collection of park maps from that era’ available online that I completely missed or what? Because if there is I would like to see :) Edit: haha never mind, just saw your topic - if you have any flamingo land ones would you mind...

    Corkscrew (Flamingo Land) Age

    *MASSIVE NECROPOST ALERT* Having a similar discussion with someone at the minute and found that flamingo lands corkscrew did indeed open in 1990 thanks to their terrible advert

    Drink of Choice

    Lager, so I've voted beer which although is a completely different thing it's the closest I can get. Partial to gin too.

    Football Topic

    It's weird because Stoke's last two games you were actually leading and if you'd managed to hang on it would have created some excitement to the end of the season, now relegation looks a foregone conclusion. Boro have cobbled together a couple of good results against playoff rivals recently...

    Alton Towers | Wicker Man | GCI Wood

    Fair play to them getting a ride on Wicker Man. I work for EE and the only exclusive benefit I get is getting to see Kevin Bacon's career slide a little further 24 hours in advance of it airing on TV ;)

    YAY Merlin!

    That's actually very impressive and you might even get to ride everything in one day for your entrance fee now...

    What was the hardest credit you finally got?

    I really enjoyed reading your article. As a local person to Flamingo Land I miss this coaster so much! The way you described the valleying and winch brought back particular memories. I'm not sure of the reasons behind it but when Flamingo Land had it they used to purposely valley the train...

    Mourning a loss

    Another shout here for the Flamingo Land Schwarzkopfs. They're the coasters that really got me into this stuff and the Booster Bike and SLC just don't cut the thrill they used to punch.

    The Games we play...

    Ok so I ordered a new 3ds xl only to find out it doesn’t come with a charger in the box!!!!! Nintendo’s reasoning “we don’t want to add an unnecessary charge into the RRP of the console for a component the buyer will potentially have” Pisstakers. Our last DS was a DS lite and from what I’ve...

    WTF Merlin?

    It really is only beneficial to get an annual pass if you visit more than just the theme parks to be honest. I remember my last annual pass it was £110 and it included everything :(
