    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    Is this definitely the Hopi Hari one then? No chance of it being new from Intamin, do they still make these? I don’t know. Flamingo Land haven’t bought second hand coasters for years. Runaway mine train was the only exception in the last twenty years and that’s not exactly a signature coaster?

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    I don’t think the entrance plaza was ever part of Metropolis. For me, metropolis came about because they were getting a rollercoaster with motorbikes and didn’t take it much further. I mentioned earlier in the thread I would defend Flamingo Land on most things but theming has always been very...

    ... and when you are ‘turd’ you may as well just accept it and never try and improve yourself, right?! I *almost* forgot how rude the ‘community’ can be... almost.

    Listen, anyone who knows me knows I will back Flamingo Land despite its faults however, when their maintenance (specifically long term) is called into question I won’t be in their corner defending them that’s for sure!

    Probably something pirate related if they’re going to keep up with the pirate plaza and it runs right into it? Is there any reason Velocity wouldn’t be on this plan? Every other rollercoaster is there but Velocity is omitted, is it just for clarity...

    Accident at Lightwater Valley

    Back in my proper goon days I seem to recall a seatbelt that fastens to the restraint being an additional requirement enforced by safety regulations or was I lead up the garden path on that one? I found out Daily Mail had purchased the pics by the way by reading on twitter. Need to...

    Accident at Lightwater Valley

    And Daily Mail are bigger scum for purchasing them! Glad to hear the injuries aren’t life threatening but things really need to be looked at for this coaster.

    ^ which they completely ignored with cliffhanger anyway and cladded the whole tower, not to mention it being in a slightly different place to originally planned too haha.

    ^ it’s not just the old corkscrew site it extends to where the runaway mine train and cycle monorail is too. Practically in parallel with velocity. See first few posts. Edit: just managed to see your point. It was early when I posted. So yeah the plan is for it to go more horizontal on the map...

    Again, lifted from Facebook group “Flamingo Land Nostalgia Appreciation Group”. Runaway train and cycle monorail being dismantled for removal/relocation. There is another photo of a clearing being made next to Zooom! which appears to fit Runaway Mine Trains layout. Cycle monorail has been there...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    I’ve lifted these from a Facebook user on the group “Flamingo Land Nostalgia Appreciation Group”. Kiddie roundabouts removed and what appear to be ground markers leading to the old corkscrew site. I still think July isn’t happening but something is...

    Best Euro-fighter

    Fluch Von Novgorod. Saw is decent too. However, all Eurofighters leave me with a banging headache afterwards.

    Small News From The Theme Park Industry

    From the same source as the coaster rumour, apparently the little monsters mischief mansion ride at Flamingo Land is being rebranded to a Peter Rabbit VR ride

    "Injured" during a ride ?

    True but ridiculous story. Opened my mouth on magnum force at Flamingo Land for a ‘wacky’ photo, bee flew straight to the back of my throat and stung me. I coughed it out while proceeding through the loop, I then had a saliva covered bee on my chest and was panicking trying to wriggle it off...

    Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

    I did actually hear it from another source but the fact RideRater had posted it and it was discussed on a Facebook page already led to me feeling comfortable to post it. The fact multiple sources have been discussing it gives me some hope that something is happening but I’m skeptical there’s not...

    The TV we watch...

    ^ Dirty John is based on a true story but they do say they have added bits to dramatise it so not sure how much of it actually happened! Ted Bundy tapes was mental, how they let him carry on that charade for so long was ridiculous. Especially leaving him unattended in the courts library when...

    What was the first foreign roller coaster you ever rode?

    Megafobia in Wales if you class Wales as foreign from England haha! No, seriously I think it was stampida? We went on a school trip to port aventura in 2001

    The TV we watch...

    Caught up on Killing Eve a few weeks back. Jodie Comer portrays a fantastically warped hit woman and makes the show for me. Really looking forward to series 2 soon. Currently watching Dirty John with Eric Bana on Netflix. Good show again with a manipulative warped character (I can see a theme...
