    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    This. It feels confused. As much as I would love to try the 'Colossus Mk 2', once again, it is going to look very odd plonked next to velocity unless they theme it. That area isn't as big in person as it seems on pictures. It's going to be a bit of a squash. In my honest opinion, if they want...

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    I don't generally find Saw too bad, but never experienced it without the trim breaks haha. I am a bit of a fan of Gerstlauers eventhough they can get a bit rough. However, Hero was next level. I've been on more comfortable Pinfari's. There are a combination of issues with Hero, bad track...

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    Back from a weekend in North Yorkshire and a cheeky trip to Mingo Land. Now, the last time i went to this park, i was a bit younger and wasn't really an enthusiast, so didn't worry about certain aspects of the park. Let me start by talking about Hero. I really wanted to understand why the...

    I wish i had visited when Magnum Force and The Bullet were there. The only time i have been there, they had just opened Velocity.

    I will be venturing to Mingo Land on Sunday. We are taking the camper up to North Yorkshire for a few nights. Looking forward to seeing the progress on the land, plus i am looking forward to riding Hero...I've heard such good things about that one :smirk:

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    Apart from the improved trains, what other improvements does the new version on the 10 looper have? Is it faster/smoother?

    Flamingo Land: General Discussion

    Is anyone else secretly hoping that this is literally just a rumour and that Flamingoland have decide to purchase one of those new Vekoma models instead? Never ever thought i would say that.

    Blackpool Central Redevelopment

    I would like to see something akin to that big indoor forest they have at Wildlands in Emmen. Has a little boat ride/climbing course/animals in it. Looks stunning. Something a little different. Sort of an Eden project/water park but without the choas. I wouldn't be disappointed with a new water...

    Alton Towers... University Degree?

    Linkedin is a very interesting place to see what career paths people have taken. Have a look at some of the Managements, job history. A lot of them aren't anything to do with leisure, let alone Theme Parks.

    Where do you find these cheap flights? I can never find them yet people tell me they only paid like £20 for return flights.

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    Ahhhhhhhhh ok. I was trying to spot a pattern of things being removed along that side of the park to see whether the there was a correlation between that and the potential removal of LL. Also the cryptic clues appearing down there. I'm clutching at straws basically ha.

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    I think the first improvement this year needs to be their social media team. The are truly awful. A quick off topic question, why were the trees by the rapids removed?

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    They are removing the bear because they want to save him from the destruction of Loggers Leap and put him back once they have built an RMC in it's place called either Twisted Logger or Wicked Log Jam.

    Ride Access Pass Systems and Disabled Access (pre 2024)

    Do you think a system like Volcano Bay would work at any of the UK parks. A virtual queue?

    Oh no, have we got snowflakes already. Thats going to be me walking everywhere because my car is like Bambi on ice when it gets bad.

    Blackpool Pleasure Beach: General Discussion

    Save a wod of cash by closing Valhalla. Half the effects don't work and people avoid it on cold days because you get too wet. Take down ice blast aswell and revamp the area with a more economical ride. I'd rather spend the money on maintenace of a classic wooden coaster than a half arsed water...

    Thorpe Park: General Discussion

    They need to take a leaf out of some of the farm based scare parks for inspiration. What they have achieved on a much smaller budget absolutely leaks all over Fright Nights. My diagnosis is that Thorpe management watch too much TV and i prescribe a months of solitary confinement, in the middle...
