Bullett and Triple Looper ( Magnum Force ) were outrageous rides and I actually remember changing a tyre right at the very top of the first climb on Magnum Force before the park opened on ride inspection. The popularity of the Bulllett too and its opening times made it like the best attraction in those days . I didn’t realise they were there for that long, I knew they were there for a while but not that long. Loved those days , would frequently visit the park then ended up working there and still went on the days off 😅. Operating the Skyflyer aswell as those two rides was just great . The corkscrew gave me whiplash 😅 and I never went on the cliffhanger but the terroriser was another one of my favourites. I vaguely remember the top gun . But all in all , the Bullett followed by magnum force will never be beaten in any park anywhere. I’ll never forget those days. Brilliant video thanks
Who can remember “dead mans drop” ?? Basically a big indoor slide type thing, awesome..went every year as a kid and now take my kids❤️ Waikiki wave was always my favourite growing up, later changed to tidal wave i believe.. you could always hear it from the caravans especially around 9:30 when they were testing the rides for the opening🥹..great memories,love the place!
Dead man’s drop was a horrific experience at the top for 10 year old me, but I did eventually do it and it was so much fun. Went down plenty more times after. Great memories, thank you :)
Ah I remember that very well! I was petrified of it but my sister absolutely loved it ha! (Dead man’s drop) Tbh it was probably the name that got most of us as kids ha!
This was when flamingo land was good and cheap to get in a can remember paying£12 to get in now it's nearly 40 or just over it's a rip off and they have taken all the good rides away
I remember going in 1999 and the park was way much better than! Loved The Bullet and Magnum Force! Top Gun too was really unique at the time! Corkscrew was my first inversion coaster too. Good memories
Flamingo Land had top stationary rides in the day. Waikiki Wave was absolutely amazing, Cliff Hanger was actually worth going on before they neutered it. Sky Flyer & Terroriser were badass as well.
Couldn't agree more, they definitely need to invest in more thrill rides after making so many family friendly investments recently, hope the new coaster will add more thrills to the park!
@@alexrennison8070 It's basically a newer version of colossus at thorpe park, not sure if the layout will be any different but I can guarantee it'll be more interesting than hero 😂 definitely one to check out
@@arenalinecentraluk some of them were given to pleasure island. The reason for the giveaway was simple relation (sister parks) and I’m pretty sure that’s the reason of the new coaster construction. I’m not sure, I might be incorrect. Tho they probs are giving some of the rides back to flamingo land Wich means more good rides.
My Family had a caravan there in the 1990s, I dont know how your video showed up for me to watch, but oh my god its brought back some brilliant memories of the place I spent every weekend at for years!!!
Iv went to flamingo land nearly every year since 1992. Iv been on every ride in the list plus many more that are not. There was a weird rollercoaster called the flying trapeze that was pretty fun. The park has just got better through the years. Thunder mountain was brilliant I liked the cue for the ride although you would get dripped on from water even tho it wasn't a wet ride 🤣 you would be lucky if the restraints actually worked but that kept it interesting. Top gun was a crazy ride aswell.
!BREAKING NEWS PLEASE READ! LAST THURSDAY I WAS AT FLAMINGO LAND UK AND I WENT ON A RIDE MADE FOR LITTLE KIDS WITH MY 2 LITTLE COUSINS. THE NEXT RIDE AFTER US WAS GOING FINE UNTIL A CANLE SNAPPED AND HIT A YOUNG GIRL IN THE FACE LEAVING OIL GO ALL OVER HER AND HER GRANDAD. THEY HAD MINOR INJURIES AND ARE RECOVERING BUT THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE YOU’LL HEAR THIS FROM FOR NOW BECAUSE I CHECKED EVERYWHERE AND CANNOT FIND IT AS THE PARK IS KEEPING IT A SECRET PLEASE STAY SAFE and if going on any rollercoasters is please buckle up
These videos take me back to the days when flamingo land was good now it's no were near as good as it use too be once the started taking the bullet an top gun and the UFO and waltzer rides away wasnt worth the money
I was that kid who wanted to go on the first ride I saw when I went here aged 11, and that ride happened to be Terroriser and I got so scared that I barely wanted to go on anything else other than the really small rides😂, and I regret that now cause these rollercoasters looked fucking awesome.
Just brought my childhood back loved all of these except the sky flyer that was not a nice experience and I was too young for crazy loop but does anyone remember a smaller red coaster with small 2/3 person carts it didn't have loops or anything but I can remember it being a really fun ride as a kid
@@Ratisha_Official I actually loved terroriser but the sky flyer was just a death trap! I remember I was about 8/9 maybe and screaming so loud they stopped it to let me off I tried it again when I was older I still hate it
Funny that image of Thunderball mountain white t-shirt with the small guy with black on looks like me and my cousin back when we went there with a school trip which fits the image 😂
The memories that come flooding back after hearing the infamous Waikiki Wave that you could hear being tested in the mornings. It’s bittersweet to hear 😢
It's sad there's no POV of thunder mountain. I went to flamingo land a lot as a child up until 97 and thought that looked like the coolest and scariest thing there - that huge brown shell was pretty ominous! But sadly I was never tall enough to go on it. Looking at the photos now though, the ride itself looked a bit crap 😂
If you weren't alive how do you know? Corkscrew was slow as, Kumali is obviously better than bullet, magnum force was a neck breaker, sky flyer was painful, wild mouse was alright and I never experienced thunder mountain.
@@ethanbricky Thunder mountain was basically the same ride layout as the wild mouse, just in pitch black. Wasn’t that fun if I’m honest, should have added strobes of flashes for some thrills
I remember thunder mountain and wanting to go in it I ran towards it and fell- took the skin clean off my knees- my mom said I couldn’t ride it because I wasn’t big enough- I was 3! 😂
i love flamingo land this makes me seem basic but my favourite ride would have to be the pterodactyl or mumbo jumbo but i remeber going on the navigator three times in the pouring rain because no one else wanted to go on. although i was freezing , i had the time of my life with my sisters and cousins definately recommend
Fun fact: the past rides were given to pleasure island, as the two parks are in fact sister parks. Now that’s shut down, I bet they are gonna give the rides back to flamingo land.
Loved thunder mountain & went on it a few times, mainly as could't see how high you were lol, went on wild mouse once...never again new pants please! :)
Not really a ride but was there a scary walk through attraction here called Bloombergs or something like that? Im sure it was here it terrified me as a kid 😂
I did a couple of these in the past: corkscrew and Wild Mouse. The Wild Mouse was fine but it's kinda like, so many parks have those so it's no bad thing the park got some more unique family coasters instead. As for Corkscrew, that thing was pretty terrible and very dated so I think they definitely made the right call in removing it!
Ye its a shame they removed them they neex to remove all the zoo and replace it with the old rides like the magnum force tidal wave bullet and finally the best ride out of them all thunder mountain RIP
Remember how they always used to make sure you were tucked in extra tight when they put the lap restraint on? That's because a lady was killed on the ride back when it was in America. She had been drinking and fell unconscious and fell out. After that they shipped it here and improved the restraints to ensure it didn't happen again.
Really interesting video, as you mention what replaced the past rides. Shame about the music. It's a shame the Anton swatszkopft coasters became life expired :(
Man what happened to flamingo land. Things are supposed to get better and better by the years not worse. I was disappointed when I took my kid the other year, it wasn’t that good. It was miles better when all these rides were here. Replacing terroriser with dodgems what ya doing?? The only one on this video what needed replacing was wild mouse apart from that it’s heartbreaking to see all them go especially the bullet & corkscrew.
Some of these rides are still going however they are located across the ocean: Bullet still goes by the same name and has been operating at Selva Magica in Mexico since 2013 Magnum Force got relocated to La Friera Mexico where it operated under many names (last one being Quimera) until a fatal derail in 2019 caused by lack of maintenance. Indiana Beach in Monticello Indiana bought the coaster and will reopen it in 2022 under the name American Dreier Looping after a lengthy refurbishment that took place in 2020 and 2021
Flamingoland now just needs demolishing and somebody with a large amount of money rebuild it from scratch , sell the animals as they all are poorly kept , put it this way it takes a day to go round Alton towers ,, half day to go round Drayton manor unless you are under 5 yrs old , it will take about 2 hrs to do flamingo land as there is nothing there with what attractions they have half broken .
Loved flamingo land as a kid & seeing all these old rides really brings back some fantastic childhood memories. Thanks for the post!
Me too - I feel exactly the same.

i thought it was called the hell slide
Ah I remember that very well! I was petrified of it but my sister absolutely loved it ha! (Dead man’s drop)
Tbh it was probably the name that got most of us as kids ha!
@@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills ha ha definately! Had to make sure u were fully covered too or got major burns sliding down😂good times
I wish I was born in the 80s or 90s because these rides look way better than what they have now
This was when flamingo land was good and cheap to get in a can remember paying£12 to get in now it's nearly 40 or just over it's a rip off and they have taken all the good rides away
Some of them might have had bad whiplash and also some could've just fell out of popularity
Totally! Been on most plus others that are not on here. Best times, it's not what it used to be.
Yeah and it was cheap
You can still ride some of them if you are willing to travel. Bullet is in Mexico and Magnum Force will reopen at Indiana Beach this year
I remember going in 1999 and the park was way much better than! Loved The Bullet and Magnum Force! Top Gun too was really unique at the time! Corkscrew was my first inversion coaster too. Good memories
Corkscrew was my first upside down too! I loved the wakiki wave and wild mouse too.
i know that feeling
Come over across the pond dude, Bullet is in Mexico and Magnum Force is going to reopen at Indiana Beach some time this year
The Bullet and Magnum Force were the best rides. Wish they were still there
Facts
I remember when it was known as the Waikiki Wave and not Tidal Wave back in the early 90s! those sounds it made... I can still hear them now
I can still feel those turns in the wild mouse ride 💀
You'd always bang your head
🤣. Me and my sisters used to go all ‘loosey goosey’ so we squished it other alternately lol it was hilarious 😂

This brought back memories from when I was a young boy! I remember watching Bullet operate
Some of these rides I really do miss. Bullet, Waikiki wave, thunder mountain and wild mouse to name a few.
Bring home The Bullet and Terrorizor... My youth was spent on these amazing rides.
The corkscrew was a good coaster but in the later years as it got older it got quite rough and often came off with a headache
I remember having my head bounce side to side riding that thing lol
@@Arc-Trinity whiplash for the win
Man I wish I was alive to go on these coasters

🤣. The terroriser was horrible 🤣
I used to go on the Tidal Wave and the Corkscrew. The Tidal Wave was one of my favourites

I remember the go gator and the dragon (still there). Do you mean the flying trapeze? They were single karts with clown faces on the front?
I remember a ride called Top Gun where you had a little joy stick to make the to make carriage tilt.
Apart from some current rides like Sik, this version of FL looks so much better than the current version
used to go alot in the early 2000's and remember the park fondly.
I miss tidal wave - they need that 10 looping coaster
lol your wish is granted in 2021 was ment to be this year but covid hapend
2021: *copy that!*
its opening july 4 or 5 i went there in may this year and an operator released that its opening in july x
i miss the thunder mountain even know i did not go on them rides in the past it still gives me memories of seeing it
Funny that image of Thunderball mountain white t-shirt with the small guy with black on looks like me and my cousin back when we went there with a school trip which fits the image 😂
The Bullet and Thunder Mountain need to come back. I loved them both.
Bullet is at a different park in Mexico
Tidal wave (wakiki wave?) was by far my favourite. Never seen one like it since.
The memories that come flooding back after hearing the infamous Waikiki Wave that you could hear being tested in the mornings. It’s bittersweet to hear 😢
Yes - my memories surround staying in one of the caravans and being excited by the noise of Waikiki wave and corkscrew testing 🫣.
It's sad there's no POV of thunder mountain.

There is a new ride at flamingo land called sik good job flamingo land 🎉😢
And thx for video
I miss all of them!!! 😢
I miss Magnum Force
I’ve been going down for 11 years and I’m only 13 but I’m ngl flamingo land used to be way better with these rided
If you weren't alive how do you know? Corkscrew was slow as, Kumali is obviously better than bullet, magnum force was a neck breaker, sky flyer was painful, wild mouse was alright and I never experienced thunder mountain.

What editor do you use? I really like how the writing fades and all that XD
Great footage! You just got a new sub!
Thanks! 😄
No problem!
I remember thunder mountain and wanting to go in it I ran towards it and fell- took the skin clean off my knees- my mom said I couldn’t ride it because I wasn’t big enough- I was 3! 😂
We used to go for my birthday every year! But I was to young to ride these rides hahah
I remember going on the wild mouse ride.
It will be one of my fondest memories as a child
Pretty sure the corkscrew is the reason for my back and leg problems 😂 needed a helmet and a thick body suit to ride that safely
The tidal wave was my favourite
I’m ur 200th subscriber 👍👍 we’re on the same number of subs XD
Sk flyer what a ride that was!
Wild mouse looks pretty cool

Are these old rides
yes they are :)
Nooooo
Look at the dates.. (how did you not notice? Duhh!)
wolfvlogs-music and stuff some
I have missed the bumper cars because they are my favourite ride
Fun fact: the past rides were given to pleasure island, as the two parks are in fact sister parks.
Now that’s shut down, I bet they are gonna give the rides back to flamingo land.
yeah we used to get the flamingoland annual passes and it inc pleasure island entrance
Idk if anyone else knows but whats suprising is that the new ride Sik is on the same place as where the Corkscrew was
Anyone remember Billy Bob’s rockafire explosion show!
we all loved the haunted house where they would run after u
I never noticed how slow the corkscrew was
Loved thunder mountain & went on it a few times, mainly as could't see how high you were lol, went on wild mouse once...never again new pants please! :)
The ride I miss the most are the Jets
I WANT SKY FLYER BACK IT WAS MY FAV RIDE WHY REMOVE IT, it was AMAZING😫😂
Keiran Taylor someone fell out
Noone fell out. It was sold to Pleasure Island before that park closed down.
Not really a ride but was there a scary walk through attraction here called Bloombergs or something like that? Im sure it was here it terrified me as a kid 😂
Do you think The Bullet inspired DeJa Vu that was at Magic Mountain?
I did a couple of these in the past: corkscrew and Wild Mouse.

They removed all the best rides and replaced them with tiny rubbish ones.😭
Shut up kumali and Mumbo jumbo are great rides and are not rubbish and small
I Love Cactus would you rather have a schwarskoft looper or a Vekoma slc?

Loved that slide!!
Still got concussion from that I’m sure of it

Wild mouse
My dad kinda works there
Kinda?

Also whats the song called?
The intro music is called 'California dreaming' by Arman Cekin ft. Paul rey and the music in the video is 'Hope' by Tobu and 'Break away' by Foria :)
Thank you!
Some of these rides are still going however they are located across the ocean:
Bullet still goes by the same name and has been operating at Selva Magica in Mexico since 2013
Magnum Force got relocated to La Friera Mexico where it operated under many names (last one being Quimera) until a fatal derail in 2019 caused by lack of maintenance. Indiana Beach in Monticello Indiana bought the coaster and will reopen it in 2022 under the name American Dreier Looping after a lengthy refurbishment that took place in 2020 and 2021
Wild mouse cause hero's shit
Flamingoland now just needs demolishing and somebody with a large amount of money rebuild it from scratch , sell the animals as they all are poorly kept , put it this way it takes a day to go round Alton towers ,, half day to go round Drayton manor unless you are under 5 yrs old , it will take about 2 hrs to do flamingo land as there is nothing there with what attractions they have half broken .
Wow the rides are a lot more smoother then but like now only mumbo jumbo is smooth😾
