Pterodactyl - Zamperla Vertical Swing

[monsterdan5]

Hmm what IP do you reckon?

[otwidalepda]

Well I think we can rule out anything Disney, Universal or Nickelodeon. I think Cartoon Network is also out with Ben 10. On a small scale I will say just one TV show - like Peppa Pig and Thomas the Tank. But what, I don't know.

I think some good choices are Fireman Sam, Teletubbies, Noddy, Postman Pat, Horrid Henry, Mr Men, Loony Tunes or Roary the Racing Car. All very popular and some might fit in with older children and not just the very young. Also some can easily fit the Metropolis theme and be next to Velocity - Noddy, Roary, Postman Pat and Fireman Sam can be themed as a mini town within Metropolis the city! Some good opportunities out there - I hope they make a good choice!

(They have had Postman Pat at the park so might be a good idea to utilise this more...)

Personally if I was going for a IP I'd go for the Horrible Histories franchise. It has a big school age kids following with both the books and the tv program and I reckon you could easily just buy in load of Zamperla tat cheap and do a real good job theming it up easily.

[monsterdan5]

Yeah Horrible Histories would be good actually

[AeRo]

It's probably the hottest property atthe moment, my niece is obsessed with it

EDIT: Noddy can be ruled out... already at Butlins.

I'd love a super mario land. Something that can go through all ages. Or sonic (although Alton towers has spinball)

[otwidalepda]

I to would like Mario actually... huge fan of the franchise and good oppostunity but don't think it will happen. Still edging my bets on a kids show - I think it will be Postman Pat.

i have been told that its going to be called THE MONKEY PUZZLE TREE

I'm not at all impressed to be honest, if this is true then the last thing Flamingoland needs is ANOTHER family/children's area!

[Sir Coastalot]

^ No that's exactly what FL needs its the famillies that spend the money not thrill seekers.

[Nathan]

Agreed.

An IP themed area would make perfect sense, and would hopefully provide the capital needed to push on to perhaps a large scale Intamin or Mack product in future.

Family areas secure the parks future

Looks interesting ?

[ruston94]

what are all those cage type things ?? i thought they may be a rock face surrounding the ride but i could be wrong ??

[monsterdan5]

Yeah Im not sure, it could be that - or some sort of entrance structure?

[Aidan]

Probably yet more rocks, i wonder if we'll get yet more thatched roofing :p

[Bradley2012]

thatched roofing & rocks at flamingoland- never!!!

[AeRo]

Lol, they even started the thatching at PI

Well if they've got any spare, might I suggest they re-do Kumali's station. It looks a mess.

Lost River Ride could also do with some. It's beginning to look a little shabby.

Hey, Thanks for the pics guys

its hard to see but is it not a bit close to the cable cars?

[Sir Coastalot]

The cable cars are in the middle of the rhino field at that point miles away.

[Sir Coastalot]

Double post but meh shoot me lol

Come accross the name Pterodactly as a 'new' ride in the extreme section of the new website, surely thats gotta be the name for the star flyer.
