Bullet at Flamingo Land in UK

[verticalzero]

Any news of where this unique coaster has gone since it was removed from the park.?

Amazingly, its still for sale, why know one would wan't this coaster is beyond me.

 

I wonder how much longer it will be for sale for, if knowone wants it, it might get scrapped like Tornado at Walibi Belgium, and know coaster entusiast would want that to happen to this gem of a coaster

How much does Flamingo Land want for the coaster..?

 

It would be a great shame it if left the UK like "Magnum Force" and "Thunderlooper", but if it went to Walibi World I would be very happy as this is one of my fav Parks in Europe.

 

I'll email Walibi World and see what they say, the Park needs to install a new coaster within the next few years and this would be a perfect fit as it does not take up much space.

 

If I get a reply I will let everyone know.

Flamingo land don't own it anymore.

 

I couldn't imagine it going to Walibi World, its too much of a "cheap" coaster as its a portable one, and thats not WW's image.

 

I know Pleasurewood Hills are still having loads of problems with getting planning permission for the Boomerang, so if that completely fails, they will have to get another coaster as they removed their most popular ride "ever" to make way for the Boomerang, so you never know, it could end up their.

I believe Vekoma have been refurbing it, along with Magnum Force (now on its way to the Schwarzkopf retirement continent), as part of the deal when Kumali was installed.

Magnum Force is on it's way to that park in Mexico, and when we were at Flamingoland I had heard that Bullet had also found a home, but I didn't hear where.

 

It could also be that the person at Flamingoland was mistaken and in fact they meant that Magnum Force has found a home, not Bullet.

I thought Magnum was returning to the German Fair circuit... ?

CURSE you Central and South America!!]

Was Bullet the oddball one with the banked station?

[martinb]
