Stu K Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for info hope it happens for 2015! yes load times bad thought Mumbo jumbo with 2 cars was pain full lol. Stu K
Stu K Posted December 1, 2014 Posted December 1, 2014 Thanks for that was just heading to you tub for a look! Slightly smaller than fun spots white lightening somewhere between zipper dipper and roller-coaster at BPB . YES Please indeed! Stu K
David0069151 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 will prob not happen but imagen a woodie through and around the zoo, theres some pretty nice formed terrain aswell for some serious airtime, but im not complaining at all if they get a wood coaster, not many other uk parks are getting them and the only other uk park that is getting one looks pretty bad, forceless and a small version of mean streak. Low to the ground airtime hills and i think alot of people will be happy
Stu K Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Not a lot of news from Flamingoland on anything new for 2015. Maybe they will not need planning permission if its a Corkscrew replacement. Stu K
thedazza Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Not a lot of news from Flamingoland on anything new for 2015. Maybe they will not need planning permission if its a Corkscrew replacement. Stu K I don't think there will be anything new this year, with the rumoured wood coaster coming next year that is likely to be on the Corkscrew site.
Jeremy Nelson Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 I hope they do get a woodie, it would be a breakthrough for flamingo land
Stu K Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Just wondering if something Like Rocky Mountains Goliath would be within flamingolands budget. I know most UK parks fear the up keep of woodies. I for one wood (pun intended) Be very Very Happy. Stu K
Dar Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If they can't maintain a Zamperla Volare for more than 2 years, I'm not confident they could maintain a woodie full stop!
StealthFan Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 If they can't maintain a Zamperla Volare for more than 2 years, I'm not confident they could maintain a woodie full stop! Your kidding me right? They had an issue with rides that most parks have at some points with something falling off a train. I didn't hear people going "Oh Thorpe Park can't maintain rides anymore" after things fell of Rush and Swarm. Its just an unfortunate incident that happened. Im pretty sure they could maintain a woodie quite easily.
David0069151 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Im starting to think flamingo land will get a woodie, However i think they will be another steel before the wooden or maybe a hybrid track to make the upkeep lower. Im thinking RMC as they are mega cheap and very reliable with a good safety record. The park have a really good saftey record, Apart from the well exaggerated hero accident were she used fake blood on her hair to get into local media. Point is RMC hybrid = marketing dream for UK as they (1) Look good (2) can be very compact (3) None of them in uk (And flamingo seem to add alot of UK firsts lately (First zamperla flying, First el loco, First moto launched coaster, First vertical swings, First disk-o (in the world),first combo tower and custom SLC) I still think they would get a clone of tempesto (Im not saying the standard version as i think Flamingo land would get the shoulder bar version due to the UK and how they describe stuff. UK Media described the swarm as unsafe when they found out about the vest so im guessing they would take note to avoid negative media. I also think they would get a 3 train version because the park is getting more and more popular lately due having the most coasters in the UK (Blackpool does not count as "5" of them should be 2 as they are the same) Not gunna go into that but apart from that, They are drawed with alton when the smiler is not SBNO.
Nrthwnd Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 A nice "compact" wooden coaster like Twister at Grona Lund or even like ours here in Vancouver might be awesome for Flamingo Land.
Jeremy Nelson Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Does anyone know what new ride flamingo land is getting? I hope its a big ride!
snoflake15 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Planning on visiting for first time next week. How are the food establishments?
Awesomefaceninja7 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 The UK MIGHT be ready for RMC but there aren't really many woodies that can get the treatment. However, there might be a chance for a custom built one.
RyanTPM Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Planning on visiting for first time next week. How are the food establishments? Not great, though there is a few places that are alright.

I totally agree as it all points to a woodie
Anything Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 There are reports that Flamingo Land will be adding a 10-inversion Intamin: http://riderater.co.uk/7392/flamingo-land-to-add-10-inversion-rollercoaster/
snoflake15 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Sitting in storage since 2011? Doesn’t sound particularly re-assuring.....
jlp94 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 This is awesome!!! And the Hopi Hari 10 looper is going to Malaysia, so it would be a brand new ride assuming this is true.
Anything Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Sitting in storage since 2011? Doesn’t sound particularly re-assuring..... Uncertain if it is that one, although lots of people assuming so!
JLFG Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 So... the Hopi Hari Intamin 10 inversion coaster finally found it's home. The coaster was sitting in storage since 2011 when the park had financial issues and couldn't afford to assemble it, then it was bought by a business man that sold it to a park in Malaysia where the coaster couldn't be constructed also, so it has been recently bought by Flamingo Land and is set to open next year. The construction is moving very quickly. Some photos released by the park on twitter:
SharkTums Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Wow good for them finally getting this coaster and actually installing it! Great addition for this park.
