July 5, 200916 yr comment_62444 Mumbo Jumbo has now Officially opened. I must say I think it looks pretty good apart from the poor throughput, I would be interested to hear what the reliability has been like and whether it's just Thorpe's S&S rides that are unreliable .As well as the ques/turnout for this compared to Saw's

I must say I think it looks pretty good apart from the poor throughput, I would be interested to hear what the reliability has been like and whether it's just Thorpe's S&S rides that are unreliable .As well as the ques/turnout for this compared to Saw's The Guy at 0:59, thats not whiteknuckle here on the forums is it?
July 5, 200916 yr comment_62448 I thought it was, but didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong , But I would bet my house it is.
July 7, 200916 yr comment_62606 Yep, it's me Went there to ride it with the club on the 4th. Apart from bad throughput, the ride is actually pretty good. That's my judgement anyway.
July 10, 200916 yr comment_62878 I found this is on youtube a while back and when I saw Mumbo Jumbo I noticed the similarities only this one is a eurofighter not an S&S and is called Blue Steel. And James6 ( I think) its only Slammer with poor reliabilty, rush has been at its best for a long time now!
July 10, 200916 yr comment_62917 There is no coaster called Blue Steel, he said he was trying to make it look like Steel Hawg which I think is an S&S.EDIT: To confirm it is an S&S.
October 25, 200915 yr comment_74387 I'm going to Flamingoland soon and I have a few questions.1. Are there onride photo's? 2. I'm guessing Mumbo Jumbo will have the slowest capacity and the biggest queue, so I should go for it first...right?3. Anything else I should be aware of? Maybe a really good food stall or a show or something?Please answer these ASAP because I'm leaving tomorrow!
October 25, 200915 yr comment_74389 You have timed that well because tonight sees the launch of Go Flamingo!www.go-flamingo.co.uk (shameless plug!)There are on ride photos on Velocity, Kumali and Mumbo Jumbo. Also on ride video on Kumali.Definately get to Mumbo Jumbo as early as possible. It's capacity has been shocking. Work is planned for the close season to improve it.Velocity is also a slow loader at times.Food wise, Fish and Chips at the top of the park, by the zoo entrance is the best place for cheapish food. There are other more expensive places - American Diner, Seaside and the Coachouse at the top of the park is awesome, although more expensive.Make sure you get on MJ, Kumali, Flip Flop, Cliffhanger, Navigator, Wild Mouse, Corkscrew.Can't think of anything else for now.

October 25, 200915 yr comment_74394 If it is warm enough, be sure to get a large whippy ice cream from the Waterfront Cafe ... I have yet to find anyone who has managed to eat it all ... massive !
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75041 So yeah, I went to flamingoland...the rides are very good but I didnt like the park. It was very concrete and...well...chavvy, which suprised me. Mumbo jumbo was very good though and I was expecting the first drop to be a bit of a headrush and thats it, but instead it was very good!
October 30, 200915 yr comment_75048 It can't be chavy-er than Thorpe Park ? You would think! But I guess it was due to the massive caravan park outside it...
November 3, 200915 yr comment_75654 Chavs can't afford the Caravans though :)There are a lot of chavs working on the rides right enough.
April 24, 201015 yr comment_90374 Went to flamingo land recently and I have got to addmit that out of all of the theme parks I've been to, it is one of the best!
May 4, 201015 yr comment_91001 Thrillseekers got more than they bargained for yesterday when their rollercoaster got stuck - leaving them hanging upside down 50ft from the ground.A carriage on the Mumbo Jumbo ride at Flamingo Land, near Malton, North Yorkshire, stopped yesterday afternoon.The passengers spent around 20 minutes upside down before being rescued by staff from the theme park.Nigel Warburton, from Darlington, who was at Flamingo Land for a day out, photographed the incident."There was quite a crowd gathered watching," he said.The £4m ride opened last July. It is the steepest rollercoaster in the world, and plunges people down an overhang of 112 degrees from a high point of 30 metres.Passengers experience forces in excess of 4Gs - similar to those faced by fighter pilots.Flamingo Land could not be contacted for comment last night.Source: The Yorkshire Post
May 4, 201015 yr comment_91002 I think the term 'oops' just about covers that...Doesn't say if the people were ok or not though, so I assume they are... If they had been seriously injured or hurt that would've been all over the news...
May 4, 201015 yr comment_91009 Ah, all these things happening with coasters at the moment, this is a little "funny" though, like everyone else, sounds like the people were ok.Wouldn't like to be stuck upside down for 20 mins with those restraints....
