The concept of this video with Becca and the 2 guys having separate features really worked and is something that I would like to see again. I heard that a lot of work got done on Cliffhanger over the Winter and S&S were involved, it's a pity that a bit of that magic couldn't get worked on Ice Blast to maybe give it a bit more poke. Brilliant video.
Wishing Becca a speedy recovery - the hoodies are great! :) Totally agreed on Cliff Hanger, my favourite outdoor drop tower, I wish Ice Blast were like that too!
My heart skipped a beat when I thought Mike had left the channel 😳. The idea of no more opening day 'big boat' shenanigans had me worried 😄. Glad he's just chilling and saving some money for the US trip.
Thank you! I’m finding ways to overcome my confidence issues, if I can find what’s “bothering me” on the day and solve it then I’m good to go. Thank you 😊
@@yourexperienceguide thankyou I will try to get there, thats the good thing about your videos you get to know about the parks history as well as how well the rides are, you can then decide
Loved the comment about getting a season pass even though it's 3 hours away. I'm up in Edinburgh with a season pass for Blackpool, so I know what the 3 hour drive each way is like 😉
brill vlog, haven't been to this park in a gd few years, like this style of vlog with a bit of history about the place as well, the bullet coaster was my 1st ever coaster to go up side down was a great ride
You say it's not professional, I would disagree but I will say it's real, honest accurate and extremely entertaining. Plus you guys and girl are all well-travelled and knowledgeable about the rides plus you all have your own opinions and respect each other, so all good. The other thing is you guys and girl are not snooty and talk down to your audience and to be honest that's why I like the show so much, all you guys and girl are good on camera. Are you going to go to gator land in Orlando when you are over? Anyway, thanks for braving the cold and bringing us this brilliant vlog, take care stay safe and all the best from Scotland.
@Pleasure Beach Experience I've never been able to get there whenever I've been over either but It would be good to get your opinion of it, I am so jealous of you guys I am gagging for a go on the new coaster in universal, also to see the ride being built-in sea world and not to forget iron gwazi. Also the woodie in fun spot. You have a lot to cover on this holiday, I wonder if you would get footage of the universal park from the Orlando Eye? But please have some me time for yourselves.
According to a member of staff velocity is actually permantly set at its slower speed of 25 seconds round trip, he did say flamingo land will not use the faster settings due to safety.
How could people think you would do that carnt wait to see you all on the trip save save save its very expensive and i totally get it your vlogs are brilliant
Best ride there ever was The Bullet.. It was brutal.! Top Gun Ride was a bit dodgy in my opinion! How no one fell out was a miracle!...lol.... Great Vlog guys!
I'm with Becca on 'Sky Force'. I'm not sure that particular ride should be the replacement though. Cliffhanger looks great. If only parks could renovate old rides. Drayton Manor really need to try and save Apocalypse. This is not a bad drop tower at all. Yes Ice Blast. Something like this could be the answer and takes up no more space.
So some info for you on kumali they have 2 trains but they strip one every year and service it through out the year do all the checks etc then when the new years comes they put that one on for service and take the train that's been in service the year before and strip that's down through out the year so they rotate them yearly
Good grief Scott when you said Mike wasn’t here because he’d “started supporting Altringham...” I thought the sentence was going to end “so we’ve booted him off the channel” 😂😂😂 I don’t think I’ve ever been to Flamingo Land despite only being in Leeds. When I was a kid (90s / early 00s) my mum refused to take us after hearing how badly the zoo animals were kept at the time. Happy to see things are improved there now although I’ll be honest I’ve still no plans to visit.
Great video as always scott. Whats this park like for Q's as i was thinking of going here for the 1st time for my 39th in august, since this park will have the UKs newest coaster this year.
God dam operations at FL still slow! Cmon FL sort it out its been like this for years now! Any plans on getting out to Time Traveller over at Plopsaland?
You need to get to Energylandia in Poland. I’ve just done a two day/night visit with flights and accommodation for £200 per head. Hyperion and Zadra are fantastic
The 10 inversion coaster is not called "Inversion", unfortunately. The name has been confirmed to be "Sik" after a local company called Siksilk. I would take the former over the latter any day. It's terrible!
Two 20 person boats on Lost River taking 5-6 mins to dispatch and a 15 minute ride duration equates to not even 100pph which is absolutely atrocious, someone needs to step in and reform their operations and ride capacity
Another enjoyable vlog guys , never been myself . We may be off to London next weekend to do a new Lara Croft live experience in Camden then another Lego land press event both for Attractions magazine. We have a spare day in the middle so might have a cheeky day at Thorpe 😆🧱👍🏼
To be fair kumali looked smooth! Although I still think odyssey would be top for me! Cliffhanger looked like it had PlayStation the ride intensity!
They’ve both been very enjoyable lately
I loved the format of this video.Switching between Scott/Mark and Becca when the boys were on the rides.
Thank you 😊
Agreed. I like Becca's dry sense of humour. The history behind the park was a good addition too
@@MusicRelatedCandy Thank you 😊
Finally someone who acknowledges how underrated cliffhanger is!
It was great

Thank you Daniel, I had no idea Becca was going to do the extra filming so it was a great idea I think :)
Really enjoyable vlog, especially hearing the history of the park from Becca 😊
Thank you 😊
Wishing Becca a speedy recovery - the hoodies are great! :) Totally agreed on Cliff Hanger, my favourite outdoor drop tower, I wish Ice Blast were like that too!
That’s the sad thing, ice blast could do what cliff hanger does but they’ve chosen for it not to do that in the cycle.
Thanks Sam! I think S&S would have to make modifications to Ice Blast, wish they would
My heart skipped a beat when I thought Mike had left the channel 😳. The idea of no more opening day 'big boat' shenanigans had me worried 😄. Glad he's just chilling and saving some money for the US trip.
We can’t wait to get Mike more involved again
Lovely little video, thanks for sharing! Can't wait for that new coaster
Thanks! 😀
Really enjoyed this vlog.....not a park I've been to since the 1990s.......Scott your looking very comfortable infront of the camera lately 😀 👍
Thank you! I’m finding ways to overcome my confidence issues, if I can find what’s “bothering me” on the day and solve it then I’m good to go. Thank you 😊
Really enjoyed this vlog, nice to see becca and Mark as well, really informative, never been there, but I might give it a try sometime
Thank you, I would recommend giving it a try to be honest 😀
@@yourexperienceguide thankyou I will try to get there, thats the good thing about your videos you get to know about the parks history as well as how well the rides are, you can then decide
Really good vlog! Loved hearing about the history of the park too. 👍👍
Thank you 😊
A very nice long blog. Scott and gang nice little cutaways to becca history lessons
Thanks, we did promise longer vlogs were coming! 😁
The second train is stripped down in the workshop. I’ve never ever known it to run two even when it’s been over an hour wait! Crazy!
I remember it having two in 2006! One train ops in the summer must be horrendous
Great vlog Scott Mark and Becca, mildly moist Scott 😂 😂 😂
Off the mildly moist scale 😂
Loved the comment about getting a season pass even though it's 3 hours away. I'm up in Edinburgh with a season pass for Blackpool, so I know what the 3 hour drive each way is like 😉
Very familiar with that drive 😁
Looking forward to watching the newest flamingo land video, we were the ones who asked you what your channel was near hero 😊
Hope you had a good day, new one should be up on Tuesday or Thursday (undecided yet 😅)
@@yourexperienceguide yes brilliant thank you we done a Monday-Friday so we just caught you haha
brill vlog, haven't been to this park in a gd few years, like this style of vlog with a bit of history about the place as well, the bullet coaster was my 1st ever coaster to go up side down was a great ride
Thanks Andy! I never got to do Bullet sadly
Channel: Pleasure beach experience….
Scott: *in flamingo land* 😂😂
But it’s good to see him going to different parks.
Pleasure Beach Experience isn’t affiliated to one theme park only

Thank you, really appreciate your feedback 😊
Gator Land is something I’m definitely interested in! It’ll just be a case of squeezing it in

Just looking at cliffhanger. I think it’s way better then ice blast.
It’s much better
According to a member of staff velocity is actually permantly set at its slower speed of 25 seconds round trip, he did say flamingo land will not use the faster settings due to safety.
Vekoma will have commissioned the ride so I don't think ride operatives will have any say in that kind of stuff.
I miss the golden era of flamingo land, magnum force, bullet, top gun and the wild mouse all iconic rides of my childhood
I didn't visit before 2006
Lovely video. Not been to Flamingo land yet , but hope to one day
Thank you 😊
How could people think you would do that carnt wait to see you all on the trip save save save its very expensive and i totally get it your vlogs are brilliant
Thanks Jean; we do miss having Mike with us on every trip
Best ride there ever was The Bullet.. It was brutal.! Top Gun Ride was a bit dodgy in my opinion! How no one fell out was a miracle!...lol.... Great Vlog guys!
Thank you, I didn’t visit before 2006
@@yourexperienceguide Shame! They were both unique rides! Not seen a Top Gun Ride any where else ever! Maybe for the best!
have you ever been to thorpe park?
Repeatedly (see our channel for numerous vlogs)
I'm with Becca on 'Sky Force'. I'm not sure that particular ride should be the replacement though.
Cliffhanger looks great. If only parks could renovate old rides. Drayton Manor really need to try and save Apocalypse. This is not a bad drop tower at all.
Yes Ice Blast. Something like this could be the answer and takes up no more space.
Sadly I don't see Apocalypse being around after this season, but I do wonder if an immediate replacement is waiting in the wings.
So some info for you on kumali they have 2 trains but they strip one every year and service it through out the year do all the checks etc then when the new years comes they put that one on for service and take the train that's been in service the year before and strip that's down through out the year so they rotate them yearly
Shame they’ve not got a third train for that, one train ops must be awful in the summer
Awesome vlog guys 👍
Thanks Tom
They repainted velocity, it was cyan supports before but now it’s grey supports and the track is the same colour
Thanks 👍
Good grief Scott when you said Mike wasn’t here because he’d “started supporting Altringham...” I thought the sentence was going to end “so we’ve booted him off the channel” 😂😂😂
I don’t think I’ve ever been to Flamingo Land despite only being in Leeds. When I was a kid (90s / early 00s) my mum refused to take us after hearing how badly the zoo animals were kept at the time. Happy to see things are improved there now although I’ll be honest I’ve still no plans to visit.
Haha no way, can’t wait to get Mike back involved 😃
Great video as always scott. Whats this park like for Q's as i was thinking of going here for the 1st time for my 39th in august, since this park will have the UKs newest coaster this year.
Thank you! In August it’ll be very busy I think, they do have fast pass
God dam operations at FL still slow! Cmon FL sort it out its been like this for years now!
Any plans on getting out to Time Traveller over at Plopsaland?
I hope they sort it 🤞🏼
We’ll probably visit at some point in the summer
Quality mate 👌 great ur lass is in don't think it's for me no big rides
There’s quite a few “big rides” to be fair
Which do you think is better, velocity or rita?
Rita but neither are great
How is it no problem filming on ride ar flamingo land.......why is everywhere else so strict ?
Different parks have different rules
I saw youse we where in a huge group and I saw youse walking up towards the dark ride
Thank you for watching and commenting
I wonder how much invers10n will cost vs purchasing “new”
Much, much cheaper. It’s not my place to quote figures but the reported £18m is exaggerated
How much is it in mate
We spoke about the pricing in the video 😀
Technically would Belle Vue be the first Zoo Theme-park❓😳🇬🇧🏴🤠
Wasn’t it more of an amusement park?
@@yourexperienceguide maybe but it did have the bobs big rollercoaster, a scenic railway and a water splash. 😳🇬🇧🏴🤠
NICEEEEE
Thanks
The train is rotated each year the other train is stripped back in the maintenance shed
It would be a good idea but the queues are so slow, can’t be any fun in the summer
You need to get to Energylandia in Poland. I’ve just done a two day/night visit with flights and accommodation for £200 per head. Hyperion and Zadra are fantastic
If you watch the whole video you’ll hear us talking about our Energylandia experiences, here’s our vlog th-cam.com/video/EfSweRnv5nQ/w-d-xo.html
That sounds like a great price, was that a package thing or all booked separately?
Hope the finger is better soon
Thank you!
Thank you!
The 10 inversion coaster is not called "Inversion", unfortunately. The name has been confirmed to be "Sik" after a local company called Siksilk. I would take the former over the latter any day. It's terrible!
I've seen, it is unfortunate.
@@yourexperienceguide the opening date has been announced though, July 2nd 2022
The new coaster was actually fabricated in 2010
😳😅
My parents have a caravan there
Excellent
Two 20 person boats on Lost River taking 5-6 mins to dispatch and a 15 minute ride duration equates to not even 100pph which is absolutely atrocious, someone needs to step in and reform their operations and ride capacity
Yeah it’s not good, drastically needs improvement
🤗🙂🙂
👍
Velocity's groaning because its pining for its old friend the Corkscrew 😞
Haha yeah true
