    Rides you have a soft spot for.

    It always was Flamingo Land's Corkscrew. The underdog. No one liked it, so the queues were short and you could replace quality with quantity :D Although always living in the shadow of Altons Corky, nothing put excitement in my heart more than seeing those grubby white tracks peeking over that...

    Best / Worst Park Food

    Worst is definitely Light Water Valley. A burger consists of a sweaty burned sock (Bread) and burned hollow paper with a light seasoning of semen inside (Meat). Was comically crap :) Not sure about best, but the All-you-can-eat Pizza/Pasta buffet at Alton was Amazing!

    "Mumbo Jumbo" - S&S El Loco for Flamingo Land

    Yeah, I would assume it wouldn't operate before the World Record event, but I cant be sure. Where do you think I'd find out? Edit: Missed the Saw line, I would do that, but I'm going along to the Exclusive ride time event

    "Mumbo Jumbo" - S&S El Loco for Flamingo Land

    Does anyone know what time MJ opens tomorrow? Becuase if I have to be there at 10 I have to get a bus at 8.30, and none of my freinds are up for that. :)

    Rare Pleasure Beach Footage

    I thought PMBO was pretty thrilling last year, would have loved to ride it before the mods! Just to be sure, when did The Ultimate actually open?

    "Mumbo Jumbo" - S&S El Loco for Flamingo Land

    If you go before it opens, watch out at about lunchtime. The construction workers get bored and ride for about an hour. Give 'em a wink and they might just let you on.

    White supports spotted on M6 (pictures now up)

    As many times as they can, they contain the Coaster components inside those large freight containers. We actually had stuff like this delivered to our house when we were getting an extension a few years back. I was kinda hoping my parents were planning some kind of surprise ;)

    "Mumbo Jumbo" - S&S El Loco for Flamingo Land

    Ahh, to be Yorkshire :) I think the point with this ride is, it is different. And for a local park in the North, it will be completely new to 70% of it's riders. So with that being it's selling point (Apart from 'Worlds steepest drop' blah blah blah) It is perfect! Comparing Mumbo to many...

    Woah, double post.

    Last Corkscrew Ride!

    Alright, keep your pants on. My point was, just putting some movie maker words over a video of Corkscrew and the REST of the coasters in Alton doesn't make it a memorial video. Some nice clips, but the music just didn't fit for what you were saying it was.
