JamesB Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Oh my, I'm hoping to ride that beast this summer. I feel a bit... cautious now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraX Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 why? Just dont have your ugly poncho flapping around everwhere. Parks need to watch out for items out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 why? Just dont have your ugly poncho flapping around everwhere. Parks need to watch out for items out of the car.Hopefully I wont be needing one of those this summer! Though... Considering the English weather, its highly likely.

BiHazz-ord Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 I hate ponchos,, they cause havoc and people where them on water rides, why go on them if you dont want to get wet. And why where them on a ride that doesnt get you wet, silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 So what is happening with this park? I heard they installed some children's airplanes coaster and that something brilliant would be coming in 2014 in the Corkscrew's place. Anyone no more?

TPGG Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I'm going to Flamingo Land on Tuesday 17th July. Just wondering if anyone could offer any tips for having the best day out. Is it likely to be busy/have schools broken up at this point? Are the queues here generally as long as the likes of Thorpe Park's? I have found 3 for 2 vouchers online which is alright I guess, I will buy the 4th online and split the cost between the 4 of us. If there is a cheaper way then feel free to share! Haha thanks in advance guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 The park is quite badly operated. It is the last week before schools break up, so you could be faced with logn queue's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Badly operated? Any rides with poor/good throughput that I should head for first/last? Can't imagine Mumbo Jumbo to have great throughput - planning on heading there first tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Kumali and Velocity both only run one train. Mumbo's throughput is terrible. I would get Mumbo done first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I remember the days of two train Kumali. Back when I thought the place was decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 So those 3 then whatever else - shame about terrible throughput - I remember Swarm opening week it was excruciatingly painful on 1 train op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Pterodactyl opening this summer; obvious dinosaur theme. New coaster rumoured for 2014, but that's about all that's known at this stage as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 No! To be honest, I didn't know if he was being honest or an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Oops, turns out Pterodactyl opened to the public yesterday... Thank you, brilliant FL marketing team, for bringing this to the public's attention... Will and Sidders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPGG Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm going to FL a week on tomorrow (17th), hope it won't be too busy! Didn't even know they had a new ride but it looks fun and slightly scary haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom222 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 The boss of Flamingo Land has been charged with assaulting a man selling tickets.The man was outside the park selling 2 for 1 tickets without the parks permission.

Charge the touter and free the boss, of you break the law (which he did), you should be prepared for someone else to break the law to stop you. 2for1 tickets clearly state not for resale and this guy obviously couldn't read so make him pay for every 2for1 used that day. And then punch him again (from me). Luke_A and MarkC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Alton Towers takes ticket tout to court, and he got something like 6 weeks in prison. Flamingoland owner assaults ticket tout, and gets charged. Interesting way of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
