Rides and Attractions
Rollercoasters
Not the realCorkscrew - A cheap way for Alton Towers fans to regain that feeling.
- Kumali - A yellow monstrosity ruining the countryside views, and was once struck by lightning.
- Mumbo Jumbo - Held the record of World's steepest drop, until people realised it was crap and a new, better ride was built in France.
- Velocity - Like Rita, but on a bike, and not as good.
Thrill Rides
- Cliff-Hanger- Lighthouse themed drop tower, that makes Alton Towers very jealous.
- Flip Flop - Basic Insanity ride with every effort to get you cold, wet, and throughly pissed off.
- Sky Flyer - Possibly the most painful and poorly themed ride 'oop North'.
Water Rides
- Lost River Ride - Themed as an African Boat Journey, yet somhehow in the middle of North Yorkshire.
- Splash Battle - Do not be surprised by the tame appearance. You get wet. Very wet.
- Pedaloes - The name says it all; you get on, you pedal, you sink. Produces high levels of faff.
Family Rides
- 4D Cinema - Now showing Spongebob 4D, a 15 minute trip to boredom and back.
- Balloon Race - A whirly... thing.
- Mischeif Mansion - One of the most laughable attempts at a ghost train ever made. Highly likely that guns can be expected soon.
- Wild Mouse - Probably the best ride there, Wild Mouse is a step back in time to the 60s. However, safety wasn't really an issue on coasters back then...
- Wave Swinger - Like the Twirling Toadstool, Wave Swinger is a basic, well, Wave Swinger. However it is less enjoyable and threatening than the bullying monster at Alton Towers
- Wagon Wheels - A Wild-West themed Ferris wheel that sticks out from it's surroundings like a sore thumb. Strangely terrifying, it induces high levels of stress upon visitors.
- Voodoo - Carrying on the theme of an African Settlement in the freezing wilderness of Yorkshire, Voodoo is a Pirate Ship with less style than the Black Buccaneer or Blade.
- Chinese Dragon - A typical 'caterpillar' ride. But with dragons. Not caterpillars. DRAGONS, I TELL YOU!
- Runaway Train - In no way themed and in no way impressive, the Runaway Train is as clever and inspired as its title.
Kids Rides
- Gallopers Carousel - No relation to the camp carousel at Alton Towers.
- Little Monster's Wacky Racers - Old fashioned cars go round round a track (a licence must first be attained from the Peugeot 207 Driving School.
- Muddy Duck Tractor Ride - A gentle ride around a farmyard, that is somehow littered with fish and chip boxes.
- HMS Bouncy - A bouncy play area in the style of a ship. A sure spot for screaming children, and a major cause of Mental Insecurity.
- Rockin' Tug - A slightly more endurable version of Heave Ho!. Very slightly.
- Junior Driving School - Flamingo Land's answer to Pegeout 207 Driving School. However, it can be regarded as a fail, because, in the words of a younger visitor; 'This one is rubbish 'cos you don't get one of those picture things, do you?'
- Swan Roundabout - Basic Carousel.
- Pink ELephants - Basic Carousel.
- Kiddies Mini Roundabout - Basic Carousel.(Can you see a pattern emerging?)
- Honey Bears - Basic Carousel.
- Spotted Cow Ride - Basic Carousel.
- Jungle Carousel - Basic Carousel.
- Flying Clowns - Freaky Carousel.
- Helioys - Control your own 'helicopter' for 30 seconds. Queue time approximately 50 minutes.
- Frog Hopper - Nearly as awesome and violent as the one at Alton Towers. But not quite.
- Go Gator! - Pinfari. No More to be said.
Misc
- Dodgems - No tacky, fairground prizes for guessing what this ride is. However you can win some on the ridiculously over priced stalls nearby.
- Cycle Monorail - Cycle along a track, in the air. Excitement.
- Fun Play Areas - Use your own imagination.
- Daktari Express - A minituare railway that children love to delay by standing in front of the tracks.
- Zoo Monorail - Oh, what fun it is to watch baboons kill each other with large rocks. Take in this sight and many more whilst you travel around the barbaric monkey enclosures.
- People Moover - A terrible play on words, this takes you to the muddy duck area of the park, on a black and white monorail. Closed down more regularly than Rita is with a hangover.
- Cable Cars - High and unpredictable, the cable cars take you across from Kumali to Lemur Island, which is less exciting than it sounds. At least they don't catch fire.
- Splish Splosh - An 'interactive' play area. If these means getting unexpectedly soaked and charged by aggresive children, then this is surely one of the most 'interactive' attractions around.
