Flamingo Land | Sik | Intamin 10 Inversion Coaster | 2022

[Fluorineer]

Imagine paying 20 million pounds for having to track down coaster pieces like a f***ing Amazon package that doesn't specify to which neighbour it was handed to.

I doubt Intamin would charge that much, knowing that the park will be a return investment for parts over the coming years. They're probably happy to see it up an running!

It's topped off!

Glad it's been topped off. BTW, where are the supposedly 2 missing pieces of track meant to be in the layout?

Sorry, I worded it wrong. I meant where do these missing pieces belong in the ride's layout? Like, are they part of an inline roll? Just curious...

Ah no sorry it was me, I didn't read the end of the sentence!

Being built by RCS who have gone straight from Paultons to Flamingo land. These guys work hard... And fast!!

Tbh i'm starting to get excited for this. Even though it's nothing amazing, it is quite a wierd story to finally see this coaster going up after its been sat in carparks around the world for 8 years lol!

Who on earth decided red and yellow was a good colour scheme though; hoping they paint it as per the planning docs!

If I'm being honest this colour scheme is actually growing on me. I'd rather them keep it the way it is than have another grey coaster in the UK.

I know I'm not the only one who appreciates the updates and all, but @CrashCoaster, do you ever leave your computer?

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone asked me this kind of question. I'm glued to it at weekends pretty much.

On another note, this is the first coaster over 100ft tall to be built in the UK since 2012 with the Swarm, which is really depressing when you think about it, a whole 8 years.

One final thing, I am curious as to if this was the first of the Rev. B models to be manufactured. Does anyone know of a list of ride manufacturing dates from Intamin for the past few years?

Hahaha the track looks filthy, I love Mingo Land.

Well, it's a muddy construction site in November with track that's been left in a car park for years. There's no point cleaning it now if they aren't painting until it's done/leaving it red and yellow.

I'm guessing a lot of that brown is actually surface rust and not mud
