FLAMINGOLAND

This park has undergone a major transformation since I first visited in 1999. There has been major investment in rides which has changed it from being a park I had no real interest in visiting again to one with some good rides and well worth a visit.

Velocity is a lunched coaster. The seats are shaped like moterbikes, which are comfortable, give a different riding position and seem to be able to allow people of all sizes to ride. The lunch is fun, about the same as Rita; Queen of speed at Alton Towers, but I think this is the better of the two rides. I think the more interesting ride position makes for a more fun ride, and there is more track to enjoy.

Kunima (named after the parks male lion). This is a suspended roller coaster which does not have a standard layout and is all the better for it. The first drop is fast and very close to the ground. The loop, cobra roll and in line twist are very smooth. The ride has plenty of positive G force to make it a fun ride.

The wild mouse is the same as many others all over the world, but its a good ride

Mumbo Jumbo

The Corkscrew is a Veckoma ride seen in other places but this one does not hurt the ears like the others. Someone please explain why?
