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

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!

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.

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.
