Flamingoland TR, October 15th 2010

Postby bellhop96 » Sun Oct 17, 2010 4:50 pm

This weekend (October 15th 2010) i visited Flamingoland in Malton, North Yorkshire UK.

I live in Scotland and was visiting my Aunty and Uncle who live in Newcastle and we decided to visit Flamingoland for the day. The Park was not very busy and there were hardly any queues all day! All major rides were open ( Velocity, Kumali, Wild Mouse, Lost River Ride, Mumbo Jumbo and Flip Flop) Corkscrew was closed in the morning but opened aroun 2 pm.

We simply made our way around the park hitting as many rides as we could.

Our only dilema was a technical problem on Mumbo Jumbo (The newish S&S El Loco coaster at the park) We had been queuing for a while and just before we reached the front of the queue the ride op's decided to add a third car to the track. In doing so (manually) they jammed some kind of bolt in the track and had to call the senior dudes to come and review the situation........ 15 minutes on and we were away! it is a great addition to the park and has some....well....interesting features.

So in no particular order here is my Picture Report-

Flamingoland has a very bad 4D "ride" which is themed around Spongebob and comes with the very annoying but catchy themetune.

Flip-Flop is the parks Frisbee ride. It is very oddly themed- a swinging disc going through a yellow house atop a lake with a model shark, mines and funnels in it!

It looks like it was quite chilly. I am surprised all of the water rides were open.

Wouldn't a Sreamin Squirrel have almost a 180 degree first drop?

It's more of a downward turn that an actual drop...

I'm thinking that their classification of "drop" means it starts and ends going the same direction.

bellhop96, this is a Screamin' Squirrel, for reference:
