"Mumbo Jumbo" - S&S El Loco for Flamingo Land

Got myself a season pass, so I'll try and get actual construction pics throughout may. If I can afford the bus tickets!
 
Im really looking forward to ride Early september :)

Going to go hoping the park is quiet
 
Got a load of pictures from Friday that basically showed all the supports being unloaded out of lorries by a crane, but since we've already got those pics (^) theres not much point posting them.

I did get this funny video though, of a load of builders arguing for about 10 minutes about lost keys, and then one of them running up to a freight container with a massive pair of bolt cutters and just destroying the lock. I lol'd. :)
 
I went on Sunday and took about 10 pics of the coaster being erected. Looks like they'll do it pretty quickly.

Hopefully I'll get a few mins later this evening to upload and post, although they don't look that much different to the latest ones posted on the Ride Guide, just a few more cross bars and a bit taller.
 
I did find the time! (Please see home page article for captions, cba to repeate myself.)

I'm quite liking the location of the ride. It seems to be located quite near to a main pathway in the park (I've never been there, I'm just assuming), which I think suits the ride well.
 
It's got quite a narrow footprint hasn't it.

It's made the area next to Cliffhanger look a hell of a lot better! Although the slides appear to have gone :(.
 
No the slides are still there!

Have to agree the footprint is very tight, I just hope when its complete its not just a steel mesh of orange and blackness.

The entrance is directly opposite Kumalis and is going to look very similar too.

Yep, hopefully it'll be a nice compact coaster with plenty of twists, turns and a well paced ride. No "dead" track.

I know Pierre has already answered, but I can't resist a crap joke or a play on words.

And for the record, I beat Pierre on the slide on Sunday because he was rubbish. But he didn't have a Feast lolly with the smallest bit of inside choclate EVER, so my victory was overshadowed.

Sorry, I couldn't resist talking a bit of mumbo jumbo. Hahahahahahaha...ha. :roll:
 
^^Lol, yes, I can see now they were rather obviously still there XD.

In the words of the Gallaghers, I shall now "Sliiiide awaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"....
 
Just two points:

What the heck is "stonking"?

I'll submit a ride review for Steel Hawg if it's running when I get down there in a few weeks.

If anyone's interested, that is.
;)
 
^ I'd be curious. I miss Indy Beach.. that's an awesome little park. Haven't heard much about Hawg.

I love the crazy supports that just seem sort of all over the place, but only hit the ground in a couple spots. Good use of engineering, I suppose. They look like fun rides-- I'd like to see them expanded a little more-- I bet you could do a lot of really crazy stuff with that.
 
rollermonkey, 'stonking' is just a slang word for 'impressive'.... I didn't realise it wasn't an actual word until you pointed that out :lol:
 
I think it's ironic too that Saw was meant to go up really quickly as it's a Gerstlauer and this appears to be going up quicker, it must be the parks, I can see Flamingo Land getting better and more popular than Thorpe in a few years, some may argue it already is. :--D GO FLAMMY!
