Flamingo Land is technically my closest 'major' park, and in the 13 years I've been driving, I've gone twice. In that same period, I've done Alton 15 times. That's says probably everything you need to know!
To expand though, I think sadly it's just too remote to draw a big crowd bar the sort of clientele that stay in their on site caravan park. I doubt an RMC Raptor or anything of a higher scale would ever be feasible in their current trajectory, but they could aspire to be the Paultons of the North. At present though, the management just seem utterly apathetic towards guest experience. The fact they take measures to actively reduce ride capacity by choice, and have the worst operations I've seen in ANY park, just make visiting the place exhausting
6:41 Flamingo land is my home park, however I don't even visit once a year. Maybe every 2 years or so.. that being said, I go to Alton Towers once or twice a month 😂
Flamingo Land is my home park. It's really easy to get to for me. I still visit Alton Towers more. It's like you said just ok. It's great for getting a lot done in a day. I've managed 42 coasters in the 6 hour opening times on a dead day. Worst case scenario when it's busy you can still do everything at least twice. I like it, I don't love it.
@@CoasterStudios Yeah. And if that wasnt enough they had some other pretty cool attractions in the past. Including 2 separate Schwarzkopf Loopers. "Bullet", a one of a kind portable shuttle loop with a swing launch thats now in Mexico, and "Magnum Force" with three loops which is now at Indiana Beach as All American Triple loop.
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od guess where they got chimera from?! it was originally Triple Loop Coaster in malaysia, then Magnum Force in Flamingo Land, then Chimera, and now All-American Triple Loop (really ironic name there, shall i add)
Flamingo Land is fantastic! It has awesome rides that are right up there with the best. Sik is one of the best coasters in the UK. Kumali is also up there as one of the best rides, it has a huge drop and is so smooth to ride compared to other versions from the manufacturer. Odyssey for example is so rough and uncomfortable. Not only do you get incredible rides but you don't have to put up with queuing for hours just to get on one ride. Yes, I agree its not particularly well themed and it would go a long to invest in this area and put them right up there. But you can't knock this place it is awesome.
Totally with you there - love this place and the rides are fantastic (I might live Velocity a bit too much), but even in the B-roll on this review the place is kept looking clean and fresh. This zoo is undoubtedly fantastic, and some places throughout the resort are true beauty spots.
As someone who lives near flamingo land it’s a right dump people there are always rude visitors and the rides randomly close (not from breaking just because they don’t have enough staff I know this from personal experience) plus the rides aren’t looked after well and have very poor operations. Also it’s like a funfair in there with that level of theming😂
The last 3 times I’ve been their rides have always been open. Alton towers on the other hand has rides breaking down on a constant basis to the point it becomes annoying.
I visited the park for the first time in summer 2023. It was worth it just to ride Sik, and Kumali and Velocity were alright too. Otherwise yeah, probably best to spend more time in the zoo area than the main park. They had a bird show which was actually really fun!
Alton towers for theming, Thorpe park for thrills, Blackpool for heritage/classic attractions. I live a similar distance between Blackpool and flamingo land and I always forget flamingo land exists!
Last year they bought some Greater Flamingos and made a new enclosure for them next to the Lost River Ride. They also have the Chillian Flamingos and another breed of Flamingos in the zoo which you can view from the raised pathway over the South American area or from the lake in the Wallaby walkthrough area. This year they are redeveloping the old lost river ride into a new water ride using the old trough but extending it further towards the lake that Voodoo and Kamali are over. Flamingo Land is a family owned park that operates on a tight budget which is why developments happen very slowly over time, it does not have the money that Merlin has, it has come a long way since the 1990s when it had a lot of temporary rollercoasters and fairground rides. I go mainly for the zoo but it is our best theme park in Yorkshire much better than Lightwater Valley and Gullivers at Rother Valley, which are the alternatives in our area. I prefer Flamingo Land to Alton Towers because Alton mainly caters for thillseekers where as Flamingo Land caters for everybody and do not forget that a lot of people that go to Flamingo Land are Holliday makers staying at the park or in the surrounding areas and these are mostly families wanting a day out not theme park enthusiasts.
I honestly think that Flamingo Land is lining itself in just the right spot to have a solid and bright future with Sik's addition to the park. What was said about Sik being a supporting coaster for 'The Coaster' that isn't there yet is true, but I feel like one day it will be there and hopefully the park will be a lot more solidified with it.
I lived in York for six months, and somehow I’d never heard of Flamingo Land. That’s crazy! I’d heard of Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Alton Towers, but never this place and I’m starting to understand why. It’s a shame. York is such a beautiful city. They deserve a theme park that matches it.
So I haven't been to Flamingo Land for ages but it holds a very nostalgic place in my heart. Sadly the owners don't really have to put too much money into it because they know the people who go to Flamingo Land are families living in the relatively poor North of England who wouldn't be able to afford to travel all the way to Alton Towers!
That's a bit of an assumption. I go all the way from Scotland every year. And i can absolutely afford to go to Alton towers, infact I'm going to both this year.
I love Flamingo Land, the big rides are great and the zoo is undoubtedly fantastic. Some areas could definitely use a bit of TLC and others sprucing up a bit, like a Splosh and Metropolis revamp would be great, however you must admit that the park do some things well; like having free parking, great public transport connections (as you tested), fantastic accommodation options, great maintenance (Kumali is very smooth for an 18-year-old SLC), dogs allowed in the park, huge themed animal enclosures, fantastic food etc. I feel you focused more on the negative aspects of the park instead of what is actually good about the place, and especially for a park that gets not too much attention even in the UK doesn’t show the full story. I agree that being under ownership of a company that pour lots of investment into a park would be very beneficial to many aspects of it but they are getting more and more successful so I think we’ll start to see changes for the better. Truly underrated in my opinion and a park to watch over the next decade.
Flamingo Land is my home park, and I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The theming aspect of the park is very tricky. Here's my hot take: 1. Mumbo Jumbo (2009) was their last attempt to actually bring in a new attraction that's themed to an existing land and have it play into its concept. 2. Dino-Stone Park (2013) was decently themed when it opened. Pterodactyl had more seats and theming on the ride than it does now. I feel this was the last time Flamingo Land actually refurbished any area of the park properly and tried to properly theme it. 3. Hero (2013) was the start of them trying something new. I'd assume they did this because it's very different to anything else in the park. Unfortunately, as someone else here quite rightfully said, we did lose a perfectly good wild mouse in the process. The theming on Hero is very poor, and didn't really fit with anything in the surrounding area at the time of opening. A huge step away from the standard of Mumbo Jumbo. 4. Flamingo 1 (2017) was the breaking point, in my opinion. Any prospect of theming that the surrounding areas had before this attraction became very irrelevant and out of place. Slapping a huge F1 car ride attraction directly in the center of the park was an incredibly dumb idea, because it doesn't really fit with anything. 5. Sik (2022) is, I feel, the point where the park tossed the towel in and gave up trying to theme things. Right next door to Sik, we have Velocity. They play rock music in the station. Sik is nothing like that. You'd think they'd want to try and bundle the two together and keep the theme relatively similar to tie things together a little better and give themselves a headline attraction. But they haven't done that. So to summarise, the park has essentially downgraded over time. It doesn't get much investment, as we can clearly see from the condition of the rides and the lack of care from the way they've left the lands that do have some sort of theming in them. And the investment it does get goes into attractions that are wildly different to anything else at the park, and there's no effort to try and make anything match. So my final opinion of Flamingo Land is: They'll add a ride every few years to get some attention. Management don't really care about whether it looks nice or not. The zoo they'll upkeep because it's their history, the holiday park they probably make a lot of revenue from, so naturally, that's what their priority is.
I've never been to Flamingo Land but it looks better than the other major Yorkshire amusement park, Lightwater Valley, which had The Ultimate, a ride I wouldn't even want my worst enemy to ride
Honestly, the only significant thing of interest about Flamingo Land is the fact that they have sponsored not just one, but two top level football (soccer) teams, Leeds United and Hull City. I may be wrong, but I'm almost 99% sure that they're the only Amusement/Theme park that's ever done that.
Plus the mellors’s sky rocket 2 is been built to be an portable model so you might see it at some funfairs in the uk. if they can bring back to the uk.
I totally agree with what you’re saying. I live 55 miles away from Flamingoland and 85 from Blackpool and go to Blackpool all the time. I think if it more of a Fun Spot style park but saying that if they invested in an RMC like ArieForce One I would feel more compelled to visit.
sik is definitely a headliner, probably in the top 3 best coasters in the uk and it is state of the art modern i would say, so thats good, but they should have more like sik i agree
I’ve been noticing that in recent videos that there is no intro/title card in the beginning. Is a new one in the works or are you straying away from them as part of taking your channel in a new direction?
we liked Flamingo Land but think you pretty much nailed it, it is great off peak though when it's relatively quiet, alton towers is for sure the favourite if you're visiting and can only pick one
Well the mellors group/the owners of fantasy island in the uk Do have an sky rocket 2 in their ride lineup. I wonder if they can bring it back to Fantasy Island? 🧐 It is in Boulevard World in Riyadh Saudi Arabia at the moment
Kumali, Sik, and Velocity look like they are the major coasters you would wantbti come ti the park to ride, if they had their others to be focused on more quality over quantity then this collection could benuo there with maybe Walibi Hollands.
I live in manchester, and the only time we went to flamingo land was around 2003 because we stayed in a hotel/motel, the park was little more than a zoo and a fun fair with travelling rides at that point, with bullet and magnum force being the perminant coasters.....but even then it didnt feel more than a fun fair next too a zoo.....many parks are the same in england due too the low standard set by our monopolies 🙃🙃
Fair Review tbh, I go approximately once every 2 years and its definitely enough... The park doesn't get that busy on off-peak days and the rides are fun but nothing spectacular. Its probably the closest park to me in terms of distance so says alot when places like towers are much more re-visitable. Also would probably visit more if it wasnt super expensive, its the most expensive park in the UK by a country mile. Doesnt make sense for people to go there when it costs £45 and you could go to towers for £35 or Drayton for £30
I'd still give this park a visit if I were in the UK. It still has plenty to do for a full day and I am a huge animal lover so that would be a bonus for me.
Even as someone who is fairly local to Flamingo Land until they opened Sik I had literally no desire to visit at all. With the addition of Sik I decided to go up there in July 2022 and my god did I have one of my worst theme park days ever at multiple points in the day every rollercoaster was down, several queue evacs to the point where I ended up missing the SLC and the spinner. Despite Sik being my number 6 overall coaster until the park adds another standout rollercoaster I have no desire at all to go back.
I've never been but i feel they need that stand out attraction, I think a raptor clone could be that. Plus a raptor clone will be very unique in the UK.
That’s what I was saying! Was looking at all the badass coaster clips and then not even a minute into the video “I was largely unsatisfied”. Talk about killing a vibe…
Its best rollercoaster is a clone of Colossus at Thorpe Park, a decent looper but nothing outstanding. It's also got a decent S&S El Loco, but not comparable with Lost Gravity at Walibi Belgium, for example. And Velocity is a fun ride, but it's not got much of a layout. It's basically Rita but with motorbikes. Kumali is above-average for a Vekoma SLC, but it's still a Vekoma SLC. And it doesn't have the new restraints. And Hero is trash. This place can't compare with Alton Towers, Europa-Park, EnergyLandia, PhantasiaLand, or PlopsaLand de Panne. It's also probably not as good as Walibi Holland. The rollercoaster lineup is comparable with Thorpe Park's before Hyperia was built, but outside of rollercoasters, Thorpe Park is much better.
@@me-myself-i787 "Its best rollercoaster is a clone of Colossus at Thorpe Park" Except this is much smoother with better transitions and has lap bars. "It's also got a decent S&S El Loco, but not comparable with Lost Gravity at Walibi Belgium, for example." That's a weird comparison you pulled out of nowhere, Lost Gravity isn't even an S&S El Loco. "And Velocity is a fun ride, but it's not got much of a layout. It's basically Rita but with motorbikes." I think it looks really fun for what it is. "Kumali is above-average for a Vekoma SLC, but it's still a Vekoma SLC. And it doesn't have the new restraints." Its one of the only SLCs you will find that isn't in Asia that has a different layout, they could have just gone with a standard SLC layout if they wanted to but they didn't. Also, I think it has the same restraints as Invertigo at KI which I found to be one of the most comfortable over the should restraints I've experienced actually. "And Hero is trash" Its also like their only bad coaster. "This place can't compare with Alton Towers, Europa-Park, EnergyLandia, PhantasiaLand, or PlopsaLand de Panne. It's also probably not as good as Walibi Holland." Europa Park is latterly just a B&M Hyper and a woodie and Mack and the rest are family rides. Alton Towers has about the same amount of coasters, Phatasialand is 2 really good coasters but thats it, Plopsaland has ride 2 or 3 good coasters, Energylandia and Walibi Holland are the only ones that really cant be compared.
How can you like this more than Europa park phantasialand Alton towers walibi Belgium Energylandia Thorpe park hansa park heide Park walibi Belgium (and I can go on basically I might even say holiday park has a better lineup with just kondaa)
To me, Flamingo Land is a decent independent in the U.K. The rides could have better maintenance but you know, it’s not a big corporate and probably doesn’t have the money to re invest - particularly after covid when they still had all the animals to feed, I’m surprised they didn’t go bust. You are wrong about the zoo. The zoo may have come first but it never used to be as good quality as what it now is. They’ve totally revamped it and I hardly recognise the zoo now compared to my childhood. It was very much about the thrill rides like magnum force, the bullet, corkscrew, thunder mountain etc. The original owner (the father), had a passion for thrill rides.
I enjoy Flamingo Land for what it is but living 4hrs away it's not somewhere I visit often. I believe covid hit this park very hard and they barely recovered from it, so it'll be a while before they add something big again - Sik sat dormant 2 years before they opened it. Agree that a Skyrocket 2 or similar would be a perfect fit here
It is probably my nearest park but I have no interest of ever visiting, Alton Towers is 30 mins further but much more worth it. Having said that its not the UKs worst park, its nearest neighbour Lightwater Valley is so so much more worse
Flamingo land is what it is..... clearly hasn't got that big budget like Alton Towers etc. Agree with your comments about the park presentation... certainly need to make it more immersive.
5:04 Hard disagree, Sky Rocket IIs are horrible IMHO and are a worse clone than Boomerangs and I haven't even ridden one with comfort collars, just the lap bar. I'm not even tall but my legs can barely fit in the trains, the lapbar and seats squeeze you within an inch of your life and the swing launches are completely forceless, I desperately want this coaster model to disappear off the common clones list...
The trains are definitely awful, can agree with you on that one. There are several similar style rides from other manufacturers that would also be decent fits. S&S, Intamin, Gerstlauer, and Zamperla all have their own variations of the compact swing launch coaster.
The worst part of my first (and only) visit in April 2019 was that it was so cold I had to wear a pair of leggings under my trousers it was so cold, and I’m from near Blackpool. I know cold and wet.
Great review! Flamingo Land is my home park (despite living an hour away!) and I haven't been since I stayed there for a week in 2021. Everything you said was correct here. The park is unloved, all of the rides look dirty and in need of a major repaint or jetwash (especially Hero, because jeez Flamingo Land, you have an awful ride and you want to make it EVEN WORSE by not cleaning the dirty green stains all across the ride?! 😆) But yeah, the lands are excuses for little-to-no theming. The Runaway mine train is listed as being in Muddy Duck Farm, even though it's nowhere near there-and also, technically it's in the Splosh area you didn't mention, even though it doesn't thematically fit there (like many rides at this park!) Since out last visit, we've said no to Flamingo Land, and opted for much further-away theme parks instead (Blackpool Pleasure Beach twice, Disneyland Paris, and Legoland Windsor this year) I wish the owners would put more care into the park, by taking out all the carnival rides (and Hero), giving the park some TLC (this is question will involve a lick of paint and a splash of water) giving us actually themed lands, and adding something new and modern (one of those new Zamperla launch coasters? Just saying 🙂)
You have to remember when comparing flamingo land to Thorpe park and Alton towers is that flamingo land is a family owned park and the others are owned by a big company, BUT I will have to agree with you and over the years it’s become more underwhelming. It used to be so much better back in the day when they had rides like the bullet, magnum, corkscrew, wild mouse!
You know, if they really wanted to have a signature, must ride thrilling attraction that was also fairly cheap, you'd think they'd buy an Intamin Mega-Lite or a Vekoma Bermuda Blitz (namely, a clone of Lech Coaster at Legendia). Both would have more than enough airtime, and the latter could even be touted as one of the most intense experiences in a U.K. theme park.
Fully agree something like lech would be an excellent fit for flamingo land, especially if it was themed well. Then go with a mega-lite after. Would make the park worth visiting again! They have the space to be a truly amazing park, but it needs proper investment. 2 amazing coasters with 3 okay coasters would still be a good lineup.
It's because we don't have any wooden rollercoasters which aren't either historic (like the ones at Blackpool), well-regarded (like Megafobia), or newly-built. And any we do have are at parks which don't have the budget to RMC them. And when it comes to building ground-up, RMC has to compete with loads of other manufacturers; they might have rides which are more marketable or have better train designs. The restraint design is probably a reason Thorpe Park went with Mack rather than RMC for Hyperia. Plus, UK parks don't build rollercoasters that often. Icon (2018) was Blackpool Pleasure Beach's first rollercoaster since Infusion in 2007. That's an 11 year gap. Hyperia (2024) was Thorpe Park's first new rollercoaster since The Swarm in 2012. That's a 12-year gap. Although, their last major addition overall was Ghost Train (2015), so that would be a 9-year gap. (Thorpe Park wanted to diversify their lineup because they were already full of rollercoasters) Alton Towers, England's best and highest-budget theme park, got Wickerman in 2018, 5 years after The Smiler in 2013. Finally, Sik (2022) was FlamingoLand's first new rollercoaster since Hero in 2013 - that's a 9-year gap - and its first good rollercoaster since Mumbo Jumbo in 2009 - that's a 13-year gap. The 4 major thrill parks in the UK have gaps of 5, 9, 11 and 13 years between major new additions. As a result, they're slow to jump on new trends. But Alton Towers's next rollercoaster might be an RMC.
As far as conversions of older coasters go, the UK doesn’t have a load of large scale woodies built by the likes of CCI, Dinn or RCCA that would make good RMC candidates. The smaller parks will be looking at family attractions or cheaper relocations of older coasters. And the larger parks don’t get big new coasters very often. There’s a lot of competition too, and RMC being US-based doesn’t help them compared to their European rivals.
The sad thing is flamingo land did originally focus on theming and atmosphere even after its original zoo years. Recently though, It seems they tried to compete too much with the Merlin parks in adding the biggest and the tallest and failed to focus on theme and immersion
flamingo land is my home park, I must say it could be better but it ain't the worst. I did feel a bit let down when I saw the lack of theming on sik tho
I'm from York and I'd rather drive across the country to Alton Towers if I wanted to go to an amusement park or travel to Yorkshire Wildlife Park if I wanted to go to a zoo. Flamingo Land has been deteriorating for decades to the point it almost feels like it has a post apocalyptic theme now.
Small complaints about your ride suggestions LITERALLY 0 RMC rides no hybrids or raptors in the uk Our tallest coaster is 236ft so hypers megas are off the chart We don’t have free spins here
What about AT they have a top tier invert a good b&m dive a b&m flyer an intamin hydraulic launch a top tier GCI and a gerstlauer 14 inversion coaster what more do you need!
Pink Chicken land has a lot of work to do. But will they have the money to do it? Is a good question. Especially when you take into account how much caring for all those animals cost.
flamingo land is a family-ran park which explains why it may not be as magnificent as alton towers, but this place was my childhood (ive been going here since 2014) and i cant not visit because i always have so much fun here. kumali was the first ever intense rollercoaster i rode in 2021 and since then i love going on flamingo land’s rollercoasters. hero does suck tho. hope they get rid of it.
Mumbo jumbo left me feeling sick for like an hour,and I couldn’t even get in hero the restraints were so uncomfortable. Velocity wasn’t open all day so no thoughts on that,kumali existed I guess,and sik was the best ride there. My favourite part was spraying people on the water ride, overall,wouldn’t wanna do again.
more than likely the closest park to me with me being in South Yorkshire, but it's hard to disagree with much you say.. I've been once and it was awful.. but I don't really agree on the theming as I don't give two hoots about that - just gimme some good rides!! Which this place never has. best park I've been to in the UK has to be blackpool but that was in the 90s and it was a whole load better then due to the free entry.
I Love Flamingo land, As a Theme Park its isnt Great but as a Amusement Park it was Fun, I Would Proberly take Flamingo Land over Drayton Manor, I Live in the South of the UK and my Uncles live about 5 Minutes away so Everytime i visit them, I Have a Excuse to Go
Sucks that there are more better theme parks down south than up north with the exception of Alton towers really since Blackpool isn’t very good tbh as well
Yeah this looks just shabby, not very good or high quality. I assume this is like the poor mans Alton Towers. The UK has notable wealth inequality, especially in the north where this is, so for many families, a place like Alton Towers is probably out of the question, and Flamingo land is one of their best shots. In terms of their location, Flamingo land is pretty close to Scarborough which is a major domestic tourist destination and Flamingo land is the closest theme park to there. So they can capitalise on the holiday goers who go to Scarborough and in that case they might go for a visit to Flamingo land while there.
For what it is, flamingo land is not that bad. Some decent coasters and the best drop/ shot tower in the uk. Yeah, it's not pretty, but it's never that busy and you can have a decent day there. Hero is awful though.
Tbh Sik is a better experience as far as ridability goes (the lapbar restraints and modern style trains certainly make a more comfortable experience) but riding a better version of Colossus certainly isn't worth the trade off with the rest of Thorpe's coaster lineup.
I get what your saying but flamingo land is what it is the uk is bigger than you realise spending short a short time going fastest routes. Its in the top 4 in the UK probably 4th but nearest is blackpool which is like 2 and a half hours away they don't really have any competition and always just done their own thing you wouldn't say coney island needed theming lol they'll allways be a car park with some rides in it 😂 And about investment Thorpe hadn't added a new coaster since 2012 until this year so arguably flamingo land has had more in the last 10 years. But like you said quality over quantity i certainly don't go there year on year like I do Thorpe
My main problem is price why go here when for like less than 10£ extra i can go to alton towers why ride kumali when you could ride nemesis reborn the same with sik just ride the smiler instead and also have a very nice park where it looks like they care a lot more

…And on quiet days their park is still open 10am - 5pm….
None of this 10am - 4pm crap!
It’s about an hour from me but haven’t been for years. The bullet and magnum force were awesome schwarzkopf coasters.

Fun fact: kumali is named after a flamingo land lion!
Flamingo Land is great. I go all the way from Scotland every year. Only went to Alton Towers once. Going to both again this year though.
I visited the park for the first time in summer 2023. It was worth it just to ride Sik, and Kumali and Velocity were alright too. Otherwise yeah, probably best to spend more time in the zoo area than the main park. They had a bird show which was actually really fun!
Yeah those coasters were alright but their Zamperla suspended family coaster 😙👌best coaster there 😋
Flamingo Land is great. Fun rides, and Kumali and Sik are particularly spectacular. There's something for everyone.
Flamingo Land is by far, definitely a park!!
Alton towers for theming, Thorpe park for thrills, Blackpool for heritage/classic attractions.
I live a similar distance between Blackpool and flamingo land and I always forget flamingo land exists!
Last year they bought some Greater Flamingos and made a new enclosure for them next to the Lost River Ride. They also have the Chillian Flamingos and another breed of Flamingos in the zoo which you can view from the raised pathway over the South American area or from the lake in the Wallaby walkthrough area.

I prefer Flamingo Land to Alton Towers because Alton mainly caters for thillseekers where as Flamingo Land caters for everybody and do not forget that a lot of people that go to Flamingo Land are Holliday makers staying at the park or in the surrounding areas and these are mostly families wanting a day out not theme park enthusiasts.
I honestly think that Flamingo Land is lining itself in just the right spot to have a solid and bright future with Sik's addition to the park. What was said about Sik being a supporting coaster for 'The Coaster' that isn't there yet is true, but I feel like one day it will be there and hopefully the park will be a lot more solidified with it.
I lived in York for six months, and somehow I’d never heard of Flamingo Land. That’s crazy! I’d heard of Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Alton Towers, but never this place and I’m starting to understand why.
It’s a shame. York is such a beautiful city. They deserve a theme park that matches it.
So I haven't been to Flamingo Land for ages but it holds a very nostalgic place in my heart. Sadly the owners don't really have to put too much money into it because they know the people who go to Flamingo Land are families living in the relatively poor North of England who wouldn't be able to afford to travel all the way to Alton Towers!
That's a bit of an assumption. I go all the way from Scotland every year. And i can absolutely afford to go to Alton towers, infact I'm going to both this year.
I love Flamingo Land, the big rides are great and the zoo is undoubtedly fantastic.
Some areas could definitely use a bit of TLC and others sprucing up a bit, like a Splosh and Metropolis revamp would be great, however you must admit that the park do some things well; like having free parking, great public transport connections (as you tested), fantastic accommodation options, great maintenance (Kumali is very smooth for an 18-year-old SLC), dogs allowed in the park, huge themed animal enclosures, fantastic food etc.
I feel you focused more on the negative aspects of the park instead of what is actually good about the place, and especially for a park that gets not too much attention even in the UK doesn’t show the full story.
I agree that being under ownership of a company that pour lots of investment into a park would be very beneficial to many aspects of it but they are getting more and more successful so I think we’ll start to see changes for the better.
Truly underrated in my opinion and a park to watch over the next decade.
Flamingo Land is my home park, and I agree with a lot of what you're saying. The theming aspect of the park is very tricky.
Here's my hot take:
1. Mumbo Jumbo (2009) was their last attempt to actually bring in a new attraction that's themed to an existing land and have it play into its concept.
2. Dino-Stone Park (2013) was decently themed when it opened. Pterodactyl had more seats and theming on the ride than it does now. I feel this was the last time Flamingo Land actually refurbished any area of the park properly and tried to properly theme it.
3. Hero (2013) was the start of them trying something new. I'd assume they did this because it's very different to anything else in the park. Unfortunately, as someone else here quite rightfully said, we did lose a perfectly good wild mouse in the process. The theming on Hero is very poor, and didn't really fit with anything in the surrounding area at the time of opening. A huge step away from the standard of Mumbo Jumbo.
4. Flamingo 1 (2017) was the breaking point, in my opinion. Any prospect of theming that the surrounding areas had before this attraction became very irrelevant and out of place. Slapping a huge F1 car ride attraction directly in the center of the park was an incredibly dumb idea, because it doesn't really fit with anything.
5. Sik (2022) is, I feel, the point where the park tossed the towel in and gave up trying to theme things. Right next door to Sik, we have Velocity. They play rock music in the station. Sik is nothing like that. You'd think they'd want to try and bundle the two together and keep the theme relatively similar to tie things together a little better and give themselves a headline attraction. But they haven't done that.
So to summarise, the park has essentially downgraded over time. It doesn't get much investment, as we can clearly see from the condition of the rides and the lack of care from the way they've left the lands that do have some sort of theming in them. And the investment it does get goes into attractions that are wildly different to anything else at the park, and there's no effort to try and make anything match.
So my final opinion of Flamingo Land is: They'll add a ride every few years to get some attention. Management don't really care about whether it looks nice or not. The zoo they'll upkeep because it's their history, the holiday park they probably make a lot of revenue from, so naturally, that's what their priority is.
I've never been to Flamingo Land but it looks better than the other major Yorkshire amusement park, Lightwater Valley, which had The Ultimate, a ride I wouldn't even want my worst enemy to ride
Honestly, the only significant thing of interest about Flamingo Land is the fact that they have sponsored not just one, but two top level football (soccer) teams, Leeds United and Hull City. I may be wrong, but I'm almost 99% sure that they're the only Amusement/Theme park that's ever done that.
They also sponsor Scarborough athletic's stadium
Europa park sponsors Freiburg in Bundesliga
I don’t no why but the the queue for sik is great with that music flags and like painting on the wall it gets you so hyped
Plus the mellors’s sky rocket 2 is been built to be an portable model so you might see it at some funfairs in the uk.
if they can bring back to the uk.
I totally agree with what you’re saying. I live 55 miles away from Flamingoland and 85 from Blackpool and go to Blackpool all the time. I think if it more of a Fun Spot style park but saying that if they invested in an RMC like ArieForce One I would feel more compelled to visit.
sik is definitely a headliner, probably in the top 3 best coasters in the uk and it is state of the art modern i would say, so thats good, but they should have more like sik i agree
I’ve been noticing that in recent videos that there is no intro/title card in the beginning. Is a new one in the works or are you straying away from them as part of taking your channel in a new direction?
Cool to hear that North Americans travel to the UK to check out themeparks. You have so many over there I'm surprised
we liked Flamingo Land but think you pretty much nailed it, it is great off peak though when it's relatively quiet, alton towers is for sure the favourite if you're visiting and can only pick one
Flamingo land is my local park ❤
Well the mellors group/the owners of fantasy island in the uk
Do have an sky rocket 2 in their ride lineup.
I wonder if they can bring it back to Fantasy Island? 🧐
It is in Boulevard World in Riyadh Saudi Arabia at the moment
Kumali, Sik, and Velocity look like they are the major coasters you would wantbti come ti the park to ride, if they had their others to be focused on more quality over quantity then this collection could benuo there with maybe Walibi Hollands.
Truly one of the parks of all time
I can't believe this place survived while American Adventure didn't
I live in manchester, and the only time we went to flamingo land was around 2003 because we stayed in a hotel/motel, the park was little more than a zoo and a fun fair with travelling rides at that point, with bullet and magnum force being the perminant coasters.....but even then it didnt feel more than a fun fair next too a zoo.....many parks are the same in england due too the low standard set by our monopolies 🙃🙃
Flamingo Land is about just under an hour away, I personally enjoy it a lot here! It's charming
Fair Review tbh, I go approximately once every 2 years and its definitely enough... The park doesn't get that busy on off-peak days and the rides are fun but nothing spectacular. Its probably the closest park to me in terms of distance so says alot when places like towers are much more re-visitable. Also would probably visit more if it wasnt super expensive, its the most expensive park in the UK by a country mile. Doesnt make sense for people to go there when it costs £45 and you could go to towers for £35 or Drayton for £30
I'd still give this park a visit if I were in the UK. It still has plenty to do for a full day and I am a huge animal lover so that would be a bonus for me.
Even as someone who is fairly local to Flamingo Land until they opened Sik I had literally no desire to visit at all. With the addition of Sik I decided to go up there in July 2022 and my god did I have one of my worst theme park days ever at multiple points in the day every rollercoaster was down, several queue evacs to the point where I ended up missing the SLC and the spinner.
Despite Sik being my number 6 overall coaster until the park adds another standout rollercoaster I have no desire at all to go back.
That's the prettiest SLC I've ever seen.
The Vekoma SLC is actually the same model as at several Happy Valley parks in China.
I've never been but i feel they need that stand out attraction, I think a raptor clone could be that. Plus a raptor clone will be very unique in the UK.
This looks like it has one of the best ride collection in Europe.
That’s what I was saying! Was looking at all the badass coaster clips and then not even a minute into the video “I was largely unsatisfied”. Talk about killing a vibe…
Its best rollercoaster is a clone of Colossus at Thorpe Park, a decent looper but nothing outstanding.
It's also got a decent S&S El Loco, but not comparable with Lost Gravity at Walibi Belgium, for example.
And Velocity is a fun ride, but it's not got much of a layout. It's basically Rita but with motorbikes.
Kumali is above-average for a Vekoma SLC, but it's still a Vekoma SLC. And it doesn't have the new restraints.
And Hero is trash.
This place can't compare with Alton Towers, Europa-Park, EnergyLandia, PhantasiaLand, or PlopsaLand de Panne. It's also probably not as good as Walibi Holland.
The rollercoaster lineup is comparable with Thorpe Park's before Hyperia was built, but outside of rollercoasters, Thorpe Park is much better.
@@me-myself-i787 "Its best rollercoaster is a clone of Colossus at Thorpe Park"
Except this is much smoother with better transitions and has lap bars.
"It's also got a decent S&S El Loco, but not comparable with Lost Gravity at Walibi Belgium, for example."
That's a weird comparison you pulled out of nowhere, Lost Gravity isn't even an S&S El Loco.
"And Velocity is a fun ride, but it's not got much of a layout. It's basically Rita but with motorbikes."
I think it looks really fun for what it is.
"Kumali is above-average for a Vekoma SLC, but it's still a Vekoma SLC. And it doesn't have the new restraints."
Its one of the only SLCs you will find that isn't in Asia that has a different layout, they could have just gone with a standard SLC layout if they wanted to but they didn't. Also, I think it has the same restraints as Invertigo at KI which I found to be one of the most comfortable over the should restraints I've experienced actually.
"And Hero is trash"
Its also like their only bad coaster.
"This place can't compare with Alton Towers, Europa-Park, EnergyLandia, PhantasiaLand, or PlopsaLand de Panne. It's also probably not as good as Walibi Holland."
Europa Park is latterly just a B&M Hyper and a woodie and Mack and the rest are family rides. Alton Towers has about the same amount of coasters, Phatasialand is 2 really good coasters but thats it, Plopsaland has ride 2 or 3 good coasters, Energylandia and Walibi Holland are the only ones that really cant be compared.
How can you like this more than Europa park phantasialand Alton towers walibi Belgium Energylandia Thorpe park hansa park heide Park walibi Belgium (and I can go on basically I might even say holiday park has a better lineup with just kondaa)
why does flamingoland look like an rct park
"Constant investment like Thorpe Park". Mate, Thorpe's last coaster before Hyperia was The Swarm back in 2012!!!
Touché. Should've rephrased that one lol.
When is coming the vlog of Seaworld Abu Dhabi ?
We are releasing the vlogs in order of when we visited them, so we still have several that we will be posting before then.
0:02 York and Yorkshire are 2 different places 😭😔😞
Smh
To me, Flamingo Land is a decent independent in the U.K. The rides could have better maintenance but you know, it’s not a big corporate and probably doesn’t have the money to re invest - particularly after covid when they still had all the animals to feed, I’m surprised they didn’t go bust.
You are wrong about the zoo. The zoo may have come first but it never used to be as good quality as what it now is. They’ve totally revamped it and I hardly recognise the zoo now compared to my childhood.
It was very much about the thrill rides like magnum force, the bullet, corkscrew, thunder mountain etc. The original owner (the father), had a passion for thrill rides.
I enjoy Flamingo Land for what it is but living 4hrs away it's not somewhere I visit often. I believe covid hit this park very hard and they barely recovered from it, so it'll be a while before they add something big again - Sik sat dormant 2 years before they opened it. Agree that a Skyrocket 2 or similar would be a perfect fit here
I live in Yorkshire but AT is still my home park, Flam is really out in the stix, still haven't had chance to go
It is probably my nearest park but I have no interest of ever visiting, Alton Towers is 30 mins further but much more worth it. Having said that its not the UKs worst park, its nearest neighbour Lightwater Valley is so so much more worse
Flamingo land is what it is..... clearly hasn't got that big budget like Alton Towers etc. Agree with your comments about the park presentation... certainly need to make it more immersive.
My local park. Spent plenty of days as a child here
I like hero its fun for me but they do need a big coaster to stand out
kamali isn't the only custom slc in the world there is also odyssey at fantasy island also in the uk and its the biggest slc in the world
5:04 Hard disagree, Sky Rocket IIs are horrible IMHO and are a worse clone than Boomerangs and I haven't even ridden one with comfort collars, just the lap bar. I'm not even tall but my legs can barely fit in the trains, the lapbar and seats squeeze you within an inch of your life and the swing launches are completely forceless, I desperately want this coaster model to disappear off the common clones list...
The trains are definitely awful, can agree with you on that one. There are several similar style rides from other manufacturers that would also be decent fits. S&S, Intamin, Gerstlauer, and Zamperla all have their own variations of the compact swing launch coaster.
@@CoasterStudios At least the Premiers are smooth, I've heard the Gerstlauers can get rough fast.
I've never heard anyone actually complain about the regular Premier rides lap bars but I guess there's always one person.....
So funny was just there today there was only about 50 people in the park and we were some of the only ones left in the last hour
Visited for the first time today and it very much felt like a mediocre amusement park tagged onto an outstanding Zoo. I did really enjoy SIK though
I've been going with my family for years going back this year🗣
The worst part of my first (and only) visit in April 2019 was that it was so cold I had to wear a pair of leggings under my trousers it was so cold, and I’m from near Blackpool. I know cold and wet.
Great review! Flamingo Land is my home park (despite living an hour away!) and I haven't been since I stayed there for a week in 2021.
Everything you said was correct here. The park is unloved, all of the rides look dirty and in need of a major repaint or jetwash (especially Hero, because jeez Flamingo Land, you have an awful ride and you want to make it EVEN WORSE by not cleaning the dirty green stains all across the ride?! 😆) But yeah, the lands are excuses for little-to-no theming. The Runaway mine train is listed as being in Muddy Duck Farm, even though it's nowhere near there-and also, technically it's in the Splosh area you didn't mention, even though it doesn't thematically fit there (like many rides at this park!) Since out last visit, we've said no to Flamingo Land, and opted for much further-away theme parks instead (Blackpool Pleasure Beach twice, Disneyland Paris, and Legoland Windsor this year)
I wish the owners would put more care into the park, by taking out all the carnival rides (and Hero), giving the park some TLC (this is question will involve a lick of paint and a splash of water) giving us actually themed lands, and adding something new and modern (one of those new Zamperla launch coasters? Just saying 🙂)
You have to remember when comparing flamingo land to Thorpe park and Alton towers is that flamingo land is a family owned park and the others are owned by a big company, BUT I will have to agree with you and over the years it’s become more underwhelming. It used to be so much better back in the day when they had rides like the bullet, magnum, corkscrew, wild mouse!
You know, if they really wanted to have a signature, must ride thrilling attraction that was also fairly cheap, you'd think they'd buy an Intamin Mega-Lite or a Vekoma Bermuda Blitz (namely, a clone of Lech Coaster at Legendia).
Both would have more than enough airtime, and the latter could even be touted as one of the most intense experiences in a U.K. theme park.
Fully agree something like lech would be an excellent fit for flamingo land, especially if it was themed well. Then go with a mega-lite after. Would make the park worth visiting again!
They have the space to be a truly amazing park, but it needs proper investment. 2 amazing coasters with 3 okay coasters would still be a good lineup.
If there is one thing id love you guys to work out is why the hell does the UK have no RMCs? Please work this one out for me
It's because we don't have any wooden rollercoasters which aren't either historic (like the ones at Blackpool), well-regarded (like Megafobia), or newly-built. And any we do have are at parks which don't have the budget to RMC them.
And when it comes to building ground-up, RMC has to compete with loads of other manufacturers; they might have rides which are more marketable or have better train designs. The restraint design is probably a reason Thorpe Park went with Mack rather than RMC for Hyperia.
Plus, UK parks don't build rollercoasters that often. Icon (2018) was Blackpool Pleasure Beach's first rollercoaster since Infusion in 2007. That's an 11 year gap.
Hyperia (2024) was Thorpe Park's first new rollercoaster since The Swarm in 2012. That's a 12-year gap. Although, their last major addition overall was Ghost Train (2015), so that would be a 9-year gap. (Thorpe Park wanted to diversify their lineup because they were already full of rollercoasters)
Alton Towers, England's best and highest-budget theme park, got Wickerman in 2018, 5 years after The Smiler in 2013.
Finally, Sik (2022) was FlamingoLand's first new rollercoaster since Hero in 2013 - that's a 9-year gap - and its first good rollercoaster since Mumbo Jumbo in 2009 - that's a 13-year gap.
The 4 major thrill parks in the UK have gaps of 5, 9, 11 and 13 years between major new additions. As a result, they're slow to jump on new trends. But Alton Towers's next rollercoaster might be an RMC.
As far as conversions of older coasters go, the UK doesn’t have a load of large scale woodies built by the likes of CCI, Dinn or RCCA that would make good RMC candidates. The smaller parks will be looking at family attractions or cheaper relocations of older coasters. And the larger parks don’t get big new coasters very often. There’s a lot of competition too, and RMC being US-based doesn’t help them compared to their European rivals.
The sad thing is flamingo land did originally focus on theming and atmosphere even after its original zoo years. Recently though, It seems they tried to compete too much with the Merlin parks in adding the biggest and the tallest and failed to focus on theme and immersion
Fantasy island have the world’s tallest SLC called odyssey
flamingo land is my home park, I must say it could be better but it ain't the worst. I did feel a bit let down when I saw the lack of theming on sik tho
‘Steady stream of investment like at Thorpe park’ lol they haven’t got a decent ride in 12 years
touché
I'm from York and I'd rather drive across the country to Alton Towers if I wanted to go to an amusement park or travel to Yorkshire Wildlife Park if I wanted to go to a zoo. Flamingo Land has been deteriorating for decades to the point it almost feels like it has a post apocalyptic theme now.
All the rides except sik are rough as hell. It’s a decent enough day out if you haven’t been but doesn’t warrant a return.
What's Next for Flamingo Land in 2025 and Beyond 🇬🇧
Small complaints about your ride suggestions
LITERALLY 0 RMC rides no hybrids or raptors in the uk
Our tallest coaster is 236ft so hypers megas are off the chart
We don’t have free spins here
The sik is the best coaster in flamingo land i feels like i was gone cus i was actually screaming when i was riding
Flamingo Land was better when we had Magnum Force and The Bullet! They were my first looping coasters, and are now pretty rare credits!
Atleast they have rides am I right 🤷♂️
When it comes to coasters the UK is just behind !!! period !!!
That's not true tbh
What about AT they have a top tier invert a good b&m dive a b&m flyer an intamin hydraulic launch a top tier GCI and a gerstlauer 14 inversion coaster what more do you need!
Pink Chicken land has a lot of work to do. But will they have the money to do it? Is a good question. Especially when you take into account how much caring for all those animals cost.
flamingo land is a family-ran park which explains why it may not be as magnificent as alton towers, but this place was my childhood (ive been going here since 2014) and i cant not visit because i always have so much fun here. kumali was the first ever intense rollercoaster i rode in 2021 and since then i love going on flamingo land’s rollercoasters.
hero does suck tho. hope they get rid of it.
Speak for yourself. Great for kids of all ages, good rides to suit all ages and the zoo is great
Mumbo jumbo left me feeling sick for like an hour,and I couldn’t even get in hero the restraints were so uncomfortable. Velocity wasn’t open all day so no thoughts on that,kumali existed I guess,and sik was the best ride there. My favourite part was spraying people on the water ride, overall,wouldn’t wanna do again.
more than likely the closest park to me with me being in South Yorkshire, but it's hard to disagree with much you say.. I've been once and it was awful.. but I don't really agree on the theming as I don't give two hoots about that - just gimme some good rides!! Which this place never has. best park I've been to in the UK has to be blackpool but that was in the 90s and it was a whole load better then due to the free entry.
I Love Flamingo land, As a Theme Park its isnt Great but as a Amusement Park it was Fun, I Would Proberly take Flamingo Land over Drayton Manor, I Live in the South of the UK and my Uncles live about 5 Minutes away so Everytime i visit them, I Have a Excuse to Go
Sucks that there are more better theme parks down south than up north with the exception of Alton towers really since Blackpool isn’t very good tbh as well
Icon alone beats all of the current coasters at thorpe park
@@NikauPalmCalyeah the spinning seats if you get them going it is sick
Yeah this looks just shabby, not very good or high quality. I assume this is like the poor mans Alton Towers. The UK has notable wealth inequality, especially in the north where this is, so for many families, a place like Alton Towers is probably out of the question, and Flamingo land is one of their best shots. In terms of their location, Flamingo land is pretty close to Scarborough which is a major domestic tourist destination and Flamingo land is the closest theme park to there. So they can capitalise on the holiday goers who go to Scarborough and in that case they might go for a visit to Flamingo land while there.
For what it is, flamingo land is not that bad. Some decent coasters and the best drop/ shot tower in the uk. Yeah, it's not pretty, but it's never that busy and you can have a decent day there. Hero is awful though.
Uk local here. I think I'll give this is a miss, I have colossus at TP which is close enough to sik . Looks a bit bland on park
Tbh Sik is a better experience as far as ridability goes (the lapbar restraints and modern style trains certainly make a more comfortable experience) but riding a better version of Colossus certainly isn't worth the trade off with the rest of Thorpe's coaster lineup.
I get what your saying but flamingo land is what it is the uk is bigger than you realise spending short a short time going fastest routes. Its in the top 4 in the UK probably 4th but nearest is blackpool which is like 2 and a half hours away they don't really have any competition and always just done their own thing you wouldn't say coney island needed theming lol they'll allways be a car park with some rides in it 😂 And about investment Thorpe hadn't added a new coaster since 2012 until this year so arguably flamingo land has had more in the last 10 years. But like you said quality over quantity i certainly don't go there year on year like I do Thorpe
I go to flamingo land a-lot I’ve been on volicity ouch and the runaway mine train hurts the others are ok..
The problem with a lot of UK theme parks is the rides cannot go higher than the tree line. This is the problem with Flamingoland and Alton Towers.
But Alton Towers actually has some great rides lol
This park shows that Alton Towers is on a different level
I feel like there's 13 parks in Europe with better lineups ngl
Flamingo Land feels like a very rushed and poorly themed RCT3 sandbox project
My main problem is price why go here when for like less than 10£ extra i can go to alton towers why ride kumali when you could ride nemesis reborn the same with sik just ride the smiler instead and also have a very nice park where it looks like they care a lot more
also sadly most of the animals have too small of enclosures so when i go i actively avoid the zoo
they could dismantle hero an give it to @DigitalDan so he can ride it more
Flamingo land till I die. Days here are great fun partly because of how comically shitty and run down it is 😂. (Home park btw)
no intro? :'(
Petition to get rid of Hero
I rode Hero 87 times in one day😅😭
are you okay???
