Hi guys. It’s my 20th birthday today, and as my main present from them, my parents have surprised me with a trip to Flamingo Land on Monday 7th August! Well, actually, they initially said “a UK theme park” and let me ask 3 questions about the mystery destination, but I was able to deduce the destination in 3 questions and my dad did confirm to me that it is Flamingo Land.
It’s probably the most noteworthy UK park I’ve never been to, and Sik is probably the most noteworthy UK coaster I haven’t ridden, so I’m really interested to try it out, but I’ll admit that there are probably many things I don’t know about the park having never been there. So I made this thread to ask; does anyone here have any tips that could help me out for my first visit to Flamingo Land? Is there anything I desperately need to know before going?
In terms of some specific questions, I do have a couple:
Any advice is highly appreciated!

In terms of some specific questions, I do have a couple:
- Is there an ideal ride to start on or an ideal way to traverse the park?
- Are there any notable “hidden gems” that I should make time for?
- I know that the park has 10 coasters, but in my head, I’d always limited the amount I would probably ride there to 5 (Sik, Kumali, Velocity, Mumbo Jumbo, Hero) as I don’t generally do kiddie coasters. I’ve looked at the park’s RCDB file, and I’ve deduced that Dino Roller, Go Gator and Runaway Mine Train are things that I will almost definitely not ride as a result of my personal policy to not ride kiddie coasters. However, I was interested to know; are Twistosaurus and Zooom what you would call embarrassing kiddie coasters in the same vein as the above 3, or are they worth a go? I was unsure whether they were more universally appealing family coasters rather than kiddie coasters, as they look a bit more substantial.
Any advice is highly appreciated!
