  • @LinkAdams Is the ride really going?

  • went on it, front seat too!

  • Looks fun :)

  • it doesnt hurt if you put your head to one side of the restraint its simple thinking people. o.o

  • RandomlyJojo, nah its not scary, its just loaddss of fun. You're strapped in really well so the bars don't even move slightly or anything

  • AMAZING RIDE!!!!!!!

  • when me, my mum and nana went to flamingoland and heard the train going up the lift hill on corkscrew, my mum thought it was a dinosaur in pain lol :L

  • going on this in 2 weeks wif me buddys only ten ill hit the mumbo and kumali too

  • This is exactly the same as the one that used to be at alton towers !

  • i think vekoma copied arrow

  • Is It Scary? Cus Imah Go On It When I GO To Flamingo Land :S

  • this is such a smooth roller coaster

  • Im going to flamingo land today with school :)

  • iVE BEEN ON THIS RIDE IT WAS THE FIRST ROLLER COASTER I WHENT ON!

  • @conjeschar No they're not you fool, this is UK not america, and no wonder american parks are empty if you watch winter videos, watch some summer ones from America, are you really that dumb?

  • this looks really DUMb

  • @Misslovey1104 so does you typinG dooshbag

  • @conjeschar its in England

  • what the hell are u talkin about? the one at alton towers was one of the first of its kind dum ass

  • i think i died on this ride it was so rough, but went at front left seat, gret view, great ride, great park in great britain

  • I went on this ride 6 times in 1 day and it was't scary

  • I went on this 6 times in 1 day and it wasn't scary at all.

  • looks like it needs repainting

  • basically corkscrew that used to be at alton towers very clever flamingo land also known as rip offs

  • @harryguy23 this one came first so get ur facts right

  • @thecheatlord999 Getting your facts right is good advice. Flamingoland Corkscrew was opened in 1983, Alton Tower's Corkscrew was opened in 1980.

  • It HURTS!!! i wouldnt advise going on this it doesnt keep your hear secure and bands it about badly! the track is over 40 years old and its time it should shut down! If any of you know flamingo land and the long gone ride the bullet, they should have kept that and got rid of the corkscrew!!!

  • @smashingsas12 its not over 40 years old??Its younger that alton towers corky and that is only 30 years old

  • is this the last corkscrew in the countrey i hear alton towers shut theres down

  • That's slow!

  • I wish I loved tht feeling in my stomach wen u drop :(

  • awsoem for an old ride for 22 years old happy birthday corkscrew

  • Why won't they paint this?

  • they copied alton towers, its exactly the same!!!

  • @MikeMacMcCusker alton towers didnt make it -.-

  • @MikeMacMcCusker

    dude, a lot of coasters are the same :p just like alton towers copied walibi belgium and holiday park, and just like playland copied all of those in europe

  • the jerkyest most uncomfortable ride i have ever been on, but it was fun!

  • has anyone been on the kumali?

  • Went on this today. Not as good as i thought it would be though :/

  • first off where is this park lol second wat a lamish ride lol its just lik sittin there lik do do u wanna lik by sum krak man i hav plentyful

  • Im just worried as its one of Flamingo Lands oldest rides, how much longer it will stand at the park until they get rid of it for a newer coaster. I mean this was the very first ride i ever went on at Flamingo Land, Its amazing, I hope it never goes.

  • Vekoma made this (same as alton towers

  • nice i like ur vids these rides look all fun

  • this ride would be good if you wanted a day off school

    what i headeache

    but still what a ride

    a classic corkscrew

  • I remember when this used to be at Spanish City in Whitley Bay I used to spend all my pocket money riding it it used to be 50p per ride lol I take my kids to FlamingoLand twice a year and they love riding it now.

  • hurts alot and very loud... i could hear it going up from my caravan! it sound like a man screaming!

  • yea hit the back of my head loads and sore neck :L im going tomorrow for 3 days

  • Good ride but hurts your neck and head

  • I've never been to Flamingoland. I remember mom & dad had an old pamphlet of it from the mid 80's. And back then i think they were the ones that had the glass bottom boats. Do they still have those glass bottom boats now days?, you could see through the water below at the fish swimming in the water.

  • I went on this with my mates just as it started raining ... we got soaked!! Fun ride, but it bangs you around a lot :-/

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­

  • Is this as bumpy as the corkscrew at alton towers was?

  • went on it yesterday, it has new wheels on so its a bit smoother

  • One of my favs :DD

    But hurt my ears when it was bumpy :(

  • i went on it and hurt my back and neck but its been there for agessss

  • advice:

    when your going round the corkscrews keep your head to the right

    otherwise you got a stiff neck for three weeks

    lol

  • I went on this it frinking kills your neck and head "/ i punched my self in the jaw at one point :L you have to take your earings out incase they stab into the back of your ears :S , was a gurdd ride thoo :D

  • Ew, that's a nasty transition @ 0:22

  • omg you're so right xD

  • somebody dropd a phone on the second loop

  • MYHOME! :L

    x

  • this ride is not scary it is just a lot of fun

  • I love the roller coasters at flamingo land

    The corkscrew is classic but my god is it bumpy lol

    the velocity is such a rush tears your face off

    the mumbo jumbo is wow the upside down bit is terrifying

    and kumali is ultimate so much g

  • the most uncumtable rollercouster ever made but it is a desighn classic so who cares alton towers got theres took down so i guess alton towers will be getting another thrilling ride

  • Yup there havuing it built now by intamin, same people who built rita, must be sumothign spech guna cost more than 15m to build, a wolrds first aparantly.

  • i loved this ride and then i discovered kumali and mumbo jumbo haha them two are amazing

  • Its definately the most uncomfortable ride there! But still a good ride =)

  • is i me or is that ide slow?

  • does it hurt your neck if so how?

  • When you go on it its one of those hard harnesses like you get on mega drops n stuff and when you go round the corkscrews, your head bashes from side to side if you don't hold yourself upright - it can hurt but i was okay when i went on it =D

  • dinny know why you are disiin this ride, i went on it 5 times in a row with no problems, i wouldny say its the best ever ride but it is goood .

    my wee brother loved this 3 years ago when he was 6 he sat at the front of this ride :L, and loved it

  • was it scary?

  • I have been on this and compared to kumali and the moter bike one its like sleeping material

  • that looks so shit

  • oh man that chain hill is nasty with the sound

  • This is literally the VERY FIRST coaster i ever went on!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

    Flamingo Land when i went when i was 13. Thunder mountain and teh bullet were still there then!
