*Amendment to Flip Flop. It opened in 2008 rather than 2002*
Flamingo Land Resort is a theme park in Yorkshire, UK. It opened back in 1959 as the Yorkshire Zoological Gardens with just the zoo aspect, now it is a theme park and zoo, boosting unique rides like Velocity, Kumali and more. This is the History of the Flamingo Land Resort, Yorkshire. All information is from wikipedia and I am aware some things may not be quite right, I can only apologise.

We stay 5 mins away from Scotland's sorry excuse for a theme park M&D's and wouldn't waste money taking my kids there, thanks for this video I'll be showing it to all the people I know that don't believe how good a park it is, thanks again 😀😀😀

What we learned from this video: 1. Flamingo Land loves removing multiple rides in the same year. They removed Magnum Force and the Bullet in the same year. Two major thrill coasters! 2. Flamingo Land likes to bulk buy from manufacturers. When they worked with Vekoma for Velocity, they also bought Kumali the next year, also by Vekoma. Then I’m 2011 they added 3 Zamperla rides 3 years in a row! 3. Flamingo Land is a great park and we love it

Me in the future: there is no wooden coaster unfortunately, that would have been cool :( but there is an awesome wooden coaster at Alton Towers called Wicker Man and there is now an amazing steel coaster called Sik at Flamingo Land, which I went on for the first time today! I went to a lot of rollercoasters and big rides for the first time today (all of them were at Flamingo Land) :D Also I used to be called "Henry Gray" on a different account and I watched the channel a lot a few years ago when I was a kid.

Another FANTASTIC history video! Flamingo Land is such an under rated theme park! Are you by chance park of RCCGB? If not, I would totally recommend it. It's an online forum that includes a monthly theme park/coaster online newspaper, theme park trips and online forum where you can post anything about theme parks! (E.G: Did you know that Lakeside shopping centre in Essex could be building a Nickelodeon theme park like the one in Mall Of America?) Keep up with the great history videos!
