Past rides at flamingo land

[@Thedroneguyonparade]

Loved flamingo land as a kid & seeing all these old rides really brings back some fantastic childhood memories. Thanks for the post!

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Me too - I feel exactly the same.

[@stayplationgaming]

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

I wish I was born in the 80s or 90s because these rides look way better than what they have now

[@munkeyhanger2298]

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

[@smiggy1686]

Some of them might have had bad whiplash and also some could've just fell out of popularity

[@hayleydavenport122]

Totally! Been on most plus others that are not on here. Best times, it's not what it used to be.

[@eviej7308]

Yeah and it was cheap

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

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

[@AshleyMartin1991]

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!

[@rstuv3701]

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 :)

[@cf1233]

This brought back memories from when I was a young boy! I remember watching Bullet operate

[@alexrennison8070]

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.

Man I wish I was alive to go on these coasters

[@GaryBhoy]

Thunder mountain was awesome I remember just going on that constantly as a kid

[@shrumpalump]

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.

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

I loved the flying trapeze! I’m surprised it wasn’t in this video! They had so many good coasters.

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.
