Flamingo Land is a theme park and zoo dumped in the middle of North Yorkshire. It is advised that the mentally able do not visit here on pain of death.

Rides and Attractions

Rollercoasters

  • Kumali - A yellow monstrosity ruining the countryside views, and was once struck by lightning.

  • 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.
