Flamingo Land VLOG | June 2023

- We went back to Flamingo Land in Yorkshire for the first time since they've opened their new roller coaster Sik! We were hoping for a sick day at Flamingo Land with no queues and plenty of re-ride opportunities which is exactly how the day panned out.

Thank you for you're blogs I enjoy them all and those you have on the channel give out good comments
Thank you Paul, much appreciated 😃
Finally, someone else who appreciates Sik! I see a lot of people calling it rough, i don't personally see it.
Definitely wasn’t rough 😅
I found Sik to be silky smooth, I have been so confused about people calling it rough. Great coaster!
Again a fine example on why this is the best channel, down to earth and nice people and you can really see that with all your vlogs 👏
Many thanks 😊
Loved this vlog. Stephen is a breath of fresh air to the channel, hope he becomes a regular. No disrespect intended, just know how much of a nice guy he is after meeting him at Alton Towers a couple of months ago and in all fairness he knows his stuff where coasters are concerned.
Thanks Chris, I’ve known Stephen since 2005 and it’s great that he can do more stuff with us again 😃
@@yourexperienceguide nice one mate 👍
Felt like you were totally relaxed and just up for a laugh mate. More of that please 🙏
Brilliant vlog
Stephen seems like such a kind, decent guy. Even the coasters he didn’t like, he played down his dislike diplomatically.
Yes...finally on SIK.
For me 2nd best coaster in the UK just behind ICON
Great shout on a family boomering...younger kids really love Zoom though so that needs to stay.
The staff used to be absolutely amazing back in the 90s...then 00s hit and they went downhill bigtime. Good to see them back on the up.
It’s a very good coaster, not sure how highly I rank it though.
Great VLOG bud. Felt different to your normal videos, most enjoyable.
Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
Mumbo Jumbo was a firm favourite for many of my Y6s last week. Followed by flip flop, cliff hanger, Kumasi and Sik. Even twistosaurus provided a lot of fun and a lot of laughs from us all.
Thank you for watching and commenting 😎🎢
We went June half term when is was fairly busy and still managed to get on all the family rides we wanted to plus see the Sealion and Bird show and zoo. The staff were very friendly and the shows are really good. There is a really good cafe next to the Zoo shop that does excellent coffee and cakes.
Glad you had a good time 😄
Yet again 1st class guys great vlog thankyou for your content
Thank you Andy 😃
Hey we saw you there and said hi. We got our tickets from planet offers. It was £75 quid for 4. They sell out fast though! We had a fab day the low queue levels really helped😊
That’s great value, hope you had an excellent day 😃
I love Steve 🥰
🙏
Definitely worth going to FL for sik and velocity. Excellent.
Great vlog lads, visited for the first time ever in June and had a great time!
Looking forward to going back again
Great vlog as always guys. You were vlog bombed so many times 😂
Thank you 😅
Aww, Sik was amazing! Rode it three times last month, it was fantastic!
It’s an excellent addition to their lineup
Is it scary it looks like people where lifting off the seats 😮
@@ButtonButtyMoon there was some good air time! ❤️
@@CH_Warrior89 im visiting flamingoland next week and ive never been on sik so im excited just dont want to feel like im going to fall out 😱
@@ButtonButtyMoon you couldn’t. They staple you in :)
Another fantastic vlog, Sik looks ace!! As for Hero....ommm you're brave 😂
I haven't been to Flamingo Land, but I'll be doing something about that soon.
Thank you 😊 Honestly never doing a Zamperla Volare again 🚮
My daughter has got a blue light card it's saved her quite a bit of money, great vlog scott
We’ve got a few in the family, and thank you 😊
I went to Flamingo Land at easter this year for the first time. Was so impressed! As a southener, i usually visit Alton Towers, Thorpe Park and Drayton Manor, but Flamingo Land was excellent!
Sik is now in my top 5 UK coasters, and i loved Kumali and Velocity.
Would love to know which launch coasters you guys love and hate! Maybe a top/bottom 5?
Was it busy at Easter time?? Thinking about going on Thursday but I'm worried I'll get on nothing since it's school holidays lol
I'd get rid of that entire F1 area. Such a massive footprint to play with. I loved it when we went as it was so quiet.
Top vlog x
Good shout, and thank you!
That F1 is a complete waste of time with the speed it goes.
Great video guys. Stephen is great! 👍
£52 😮
Thank you 🙏 It’s great to have Stephen more involved now
I was there on Fathers day and Hero is truly horrendous 😂😂 Great vlog guys 👏🏽
Thank you 🙏
Those heartline rolls on Sik at the end absolutely ruined my thighs the other week. We had two rides on it, one in the morning and one at the end of the day and no joke I had bruises across my thighs for over a week 😅 Granted I do have very chunky thighs but still. Maybe because there’s nothing to hold onto? Loved the rest though, and hearing Faithless ‘Insomnia’ while loading into the train and setting off was pure vibes 🔥 We need more stations with that kind of atmosphere. I was curious how you would find it Scott as I’ve heard you say in many vlogs that you find some restraints hard on your thighs too.
Thank you, absolutely loved the atmosphere in the Sik station.
The lap bar was crushing me every time especially in the back seats
I went today and found it fine
Great vlog...I found Kumali rough myself last year can't remember which side I sat on .
Sik is excellent I think
It's some line up of obscure coasters they have there.
It’s such a weird lineup of coasters but I am confident about their future
Sik came from a park in Brazil which never got erected I think?
That washing machine cycle is insane
Especially with no upper body support
Great channel.just decent,honest guys doing a feel good vlog.
Brilliant Vlog, shame about the high ticket prices there, some good coasters though there still, luckily it wasn’t too busy for you there 😎👍🏻
We had a good day and in fairness you can’t put a price on that
Sik is amazing and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Does go for the thighs after I while like you said. But it's worth it.
It was definitely pinching after the last go 😂
I heard that Flamingo Land called in S&S to work on the Tower during last Winter and they really improved it. Hope that more of these receive the same treatment. This video had slipped through the net for me until now 😊
Hope it was worth the wait 😃 Really enjoyed this day
I agree, I think Sik is easily in the top 5 best uk coasters
Agreed
This vlog is timed perfectly. I'm umming and ahhing over which non merlin UK park to visit next month? I'm in Birmingham, but I don't mind a drive....I'm flip-flopping between Flamingo Land or Fantasy Island? What do you reckon?
Now that’s a tough one! I’ve got a soft spot for Fantasy Island because of visits in the 90s and being contracted to work for them in 21 and 22 🤔
We’re doing Fantasy Island in August I think.
@pleasurebeachexperience. oh nice! Fantasy Island it is then. Never been before. Seems reasonably priced with lots of variety. 👍
@@CatsnCoastersTheir shot tower is very good, Millennium super smooth and Odyssey is an experience 🤣
You’ll get tons of rides in as queues there are minimal.
@@bunkerboy02 music to my ears!
I went to FL out of season earlier in the year. Lovely place to take my 3y.o for animals and he rode the dino coaster about 7 times. Couldn't get enough of it,. Gotta agree with you about the pricing. But as we live in Yorkshire. Its really the only option for a theme park day trip. I'm glad you had a nice day by the end of it lads.
Thank you, I’ll definitely be more organised and book further ahead next time
Totally agree with comments regards Stephen, always looking for the positive side, a really good balanced and fun to watch video with some awesome POV, heading there in September to ride Sik for first time, we were a little too early last June. I guess that's the pay on the day price 52.50, seems advance tickets are much more punter friendly. Thanks guys
Thanks Kevin, Stephen is a great friend and I’m glad people are enjoying his appearances 😁
Very good to hear about friendly staff allowing to accept seat requests I'm visiting 23rd August with my family but I'm a single rider would love a front row on sik
Have an excellent time 😀
@pleasurebeachexperience. Will do thanks haven't been for many years hoping to get on all major coasters except Hero
@@CoasterRob Hero is terrible tbh
Great vlog. It’s great to see you both having fun. That spinning coaster just didn’t want to stop!
As for Hero, it should now be scrap metal. Awful.
Thank you, and agreed about Hero!
Sik is amazing and the only reason I still go to flamingo land. The price however I think is bonkers. Its cheaper for me to get the train and go to blackpool pleasure beach from near york then it is to go to flamingo land now
Hopefully they’ll replace some of the coasters they have for better quality coasters like Sik
Isnt the park cheaper if you book online in advance? I suppose the price will be higher than other theme parks as they have the animal costs as well, £52.50 is maybe a little expensive, especially for families
I did book online 😅
@@yourexperienceguide I thought £52.50 was the gate price on the day, that's expensive online
@@edmundandlucy just glad we got on plenty and had a good day

Another great Vlog. Ps Scott random question as I was watching some of the older videos this week. Is Stuz and Mullet still around these days?
Mullet was in our recent Liseberg vlog (briefly) but has a very good job with limited time off. We struggle to both have the same free time but we’re always in touch.
Stuz is all good and we chat regularly but I don’t think he’ll be in anymore vlogs sadly (his choice).
@pleasurebeachexperience. thanks for the reply and glad to hear you are all still intouch 👍
@@swc8544Been chatting America plans with mullet for next summer lately, and chatting about BPB in the 2000s with Stuz today 😅
They’re not in videos much now but everything is great between us all.
Great stuff Scott. Would love to join yous on a gathering one day
Get Six on 2 Trains
I've got vertigo after watching all that 😨
Oh no
Haha. Some of those coasters are clunky to say the least!
They're braver than me 😂
I did notice it's £26 pp if you're a European Coaster Club member "show your membership card when purchasing tickets at the park"
We’re not members of the ECC or RCCGB, we run our own events without charging a membership fee.
You should have bought your tickets 7 days in advance online I paid £39 and its free parking so its much more reasonable. Its £65 on the gate at Alton Towers!
I didn’t know we were definitely going until the day before
How was your ride on sik for the first time
Reviewed in the video 😉
i found a deal on an app called kidspass , it was only £1 a month for the app and flamingo land tickets were up to 40% off , so i got an adult ticket for only £35 and i'm going tomorrow !
That’s decent. It’s £39 on their website if more than 7 days in advance I believe
Why not visit Yorkshire Wildlife Park. I have membership as i live locally and i can tell you that it is a really good family attraction, they have plenty of indoor and outdoor play areas, a themed Dinosaur and Pirate resturant, a Dinosaur area and a Big Wheel. They also have a hotel and shopping area. The animals are mostly endangered and they have really good walkthrough areas and plenty of cafes and kiosks round the park they also do the ranger talks and show and tell area for kids and during the holidays they usually have entertainment around the park. I would really reccommend the Safari nights as they have live entertainment, barbeque and a cocktail area where you can get non alcholic as well as alchollic drinks also the cats are more active in the evening as the park stays open till 8pm. They have had a lot of babies born this year including Amur Leopard Cubs.
Thank you for the suggestion, we day tripped Flamingo Land 🎢
i was going to go to grona land later in the year but after that poor person died i think i will stick to flamingo land and blackpool pleasure beach.
It’s very sad what’s happened
Hi can you go again and go to the buggy machines I haven't seen a video of it yet inside there
We’ll be going next month hopefully
Thanks
Hero should stay open. It makes the queue for sik and other rides shorter!
A replacement ride for it would do the same
25:18
Price of admission and lack of deals has kept me away. Just way too much to pay for a family of 4, and it doesn’t look to offer anything to justify asking more, when compared to other parks in the UK.
Paying for 4 at them prices would put me off too! Better value to book the Eurotunnel and do a cred run
I love the velocicoaster mix up. Yeah Its definately NOT that amazing coaster. (I also miss universal)
Sorted my next visit there recently, only 450+ days to wait 🥲
@@yourexperienceguide 198 days for me..... If velocicoaster is down and having maintenance then Florida is going to need SWAT police
@@adamtrue7691 😂😫
I swear if I hear another sik joke I'm going to be sik
Does cliffhanger have a piston shoot?
where do you put your bags when you go on the rides
Storage areas in ride stations
need to get the gopro levelled for these POVs Scott!
What’s the issue with the POVs?
If I could mount them to the trains I would do.
@@yourexperienceguide they are wonky, leaning over to one side. could be fixed by mounting the camera level or in editing.
@@ballbag They’re not mounted to the train, they were done on a chest and wrist harness. They’re absolutely fine for a vlog.
No issues with the POVs at all! They’re not wonky!
@@bunkerboy02 You're blind if you can't see it lol, look at the bottom when you watch
So it's a day at flamingo land or a merlin discovery pass at 69 quid......mmmm interesting 😂😂
Very pricey day out
I can get tickets off my pal for £24 99p for one as my pal works there
Hi what date you coming to fromlimgo land
Undecided but it’ll be this month
Yess
what was the date you went?
23/6
How do i become such a jittleyang sigma like you😢😮❤🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😉
Kids pass
Thank you for watching and commenting
What?!? No log flume footage??? 😂😂😂
They need a Log Flume 😭
@@yourexperienceguide They have one, you didnt go on it though!
@@ballbag No they don’t
Might mean the Lost River Ride 😅
@@edmundandlucy Definitely not a Log Flume 😅
Why is this legal!? 😅 too funny
😂
Hero did not sound healthy at all! Get it in bin flamingo land.
Glad to see it replaced
*Promosm*
I do not understand why all of you KEEP riding Hero. Just plug in an old pov and save your body!
It’s the last time for me, never again.
Paid £39 7 days in advance
£52.50 is the price I paid, we didn't know we were going for sure until the day before.
Whats your favourite roller coaster at flamingo land?
Sik
£5 2 . 5 0 😱😱😱 Jeez . 😂🧱👍🏼
😫
@@yourexperienceguide dying to book on to the Alton Towers event but I’m waiting for my appointment for a new hip so can’t plan anything 🥺🧱👍🏽
My brother can’t make it so I’d be a loner!!
