Found this video after 7 years of watching it and just found it again, shame this ride was removed and it’s sounds from this video will remind me of how great it was, brilliant old video!

My heart dropped because I thought the thing snapped in half omg

i used to love this ride as a kid and even liked the creepy sound it made

Love that sound!

Used to love hearing that noise and the noise of the bullet while in the caravan!

I miss flamingoland I'm crying right now we don't go much now I miss magic phill

I love these ultra flexible top spin rides.

Looks very fun

They had this ride at Adventureland here on Long Island, NY but it was called Surf Dance. My favorite ride!!

God I thought the dam thing was comming apart!

This ride will always have my childhood. RIP 😞

It's not there anymore they took it down

Was so lucky to be on the 2nd last ever run of this ride! So amazing, flamingo land says it was to expensive to keep running. They were supposed to be replacing it with a new up to date version but they bought 'Mumbo Jumbo' instead! Hope they eventually bring it back!

So Cool!!

Looks awesome

Now that was RADICAL! :O but nothing can top the chaos that Experience can give you

If anyone cares this ride is called the Waikiki Wave Super Flip and is designed and manufactured by Vekoma Rides Manufacturing, and as of 2013 their are only two of them left in the world. One located in Mexico and the other one in Australia, which was also the first one installed in the world.

that ride was awesome!

One of the best rides at flamingo land should’ve never got rid of it

It looks so fun!!! :D

Tidal Wave was a fun ride back in the day!

The way this ride moves combined with that eerie howl, I absolutely love it! I remember seeing something similar to this years ago called "Canyon trip" i believe. It had a different seating arrangement and a middle separation thing, but same eerie noises! Thanks for posting this.

Cool! Very good!

Bring this back!

Wooooow!

Omfg.. that looks amazing!! I would so go on that.. if it was still there..

Looks so weird, yet so cool

The motors sound like sirens! / Very good video!!!!!! :-)

it was amazing i hope they bring it back soon

i used to love this ride!

I came here to watch the ride and got distracted looking at the stuffed sledge hammer fight that was happening in front of it lol...

this was my favorite as a kid, it used to be called the Waikiki wave im talking like 15 years ago now. the sound of it it brings back good memories. shame its gone.

I'm going to England JUST to ride this!

this was the first ride id go on everyday when a was a kid staying here was excellent and after going today after a number of years i must say its not as good as it was but hey times change

this rollercoaster was quiet goood, i will miss it.

HOLY SHIT. Man, dat ride be The John Denvah Exp-e-ri-ence FO REALZ FO REALZ!!

Aaah we had the same ride in Cape Town South Africa the Tarantula at Ratanga Junction which was longer about 3min and the sound was really loud

That thing needs some lubing... Or some new gears.. I know hydraulic motors are noisy but this is mad.

That's so amazing looking. I wish I would have the guts to go on it. :.(

Love this ride, just wish it was longer ...

I remember going there in the late 60's when it was known as "Cowboy City" with the added attraction of "Flamingo Park" There used to be a lake with a couple of islands and you could hire an indian style canoe and just head out and explore for half an hour on your own if you wished, no life jackets, no life guards, no health and safety and probably no insurance, it was just great!!

I remember when I was about 11 I went on that, now 18. I think I'd crap myself hahaha!

That...looks...GREAT! HA

I was in Flamingo Land that is so amazing !!

Holy shit I thought the thing was broken when the two arms first split up!

When it first arrived in 1994 its cycle was awesome, and had a few preset choices. Gradually year after year it seems that rather than refurbishing the damage, they're just limiting its capabilities to prevent quicker wear & tear. Its now so limited its a really poor cycle, especially considering the load/unload times!

This is like the ride topspin 😃, the sound is hella creepy tho- i thought the arm will snap goddamn

I will always ride this ride

The best part is the mom and boy fighting with bags in front of the ride Bwahahahahaha

I like the video

this ride was the best sound to hear when waking up in the caravan park, now its gone :(

I would scream so loud that glass would break X-X

used to wake up to the noise every morning in the caravan then scramble to get ready.

Scary 😱

goin to miss this ride i loved to operate it :( getting replaced by new rollercoaster called mumbo jumbo goin in guiness book of world records for steepest drop cant wait for it to open LOOKS awsome)

This was actually being used to it's full potential. The manufacturer made two kinds of a ride called Waikiki Wave. This was the bigger one that doesn't flip. There was also one called superflip that there exist a few of in for example Australia and Mexico, that have the ability to flip.

Cheers, I will look for it, regards, Bri

wish this was still there :/ knew i should have gone on it years ago!!

It's not even there anymore so good luck riding it.

Stayed on site at bingo land in 90s you get an extra hour on morning before park opens and would spend most of it between this and sky flyers riding repeatedly between the two

I miss this :(

Keep the memories alive! Specially now it's gone, thanks for the comment, regards, Bri

Lol at the mom and son beating each other with hammers XD

i missed it :( it looks amazing

cool man...

Isn't this where Mumbo Jumbo stands?

in mexico is the same game but his name is Huracan, is on Six Flags

อยากไปเที่ยวจังน่าสนุก

Hmmm at that price I'll have 2 lol. In one sense it's sad when rides are sold but that's progress and new rides will no doubt come in! cheers, Bri

I used to love this ride as a child. It is better than Mumbo Jumbo!

That's a lot of Moola....not sure of it's age either..is it worth that much? Thanks for the comment, regards, Bri

Nooo The waikiki wave is gone? As a child going to Flamingo land in the 90s I used to love the noise it made and eventually summoned enough courage to go on it, gutted! ( That it's gone, not my stomach. )

My god this looks AWESOME.

Lol, cheers Joe and thanks for the info, regards, Bri

This one does not go upside down because it is not a Super Flip version, unlike the ones in Dreamland or Six Flags Mexico.

Wow...........

@coolcar100 No no, The ride has two modes, in low season, they put on the mode when it 'Hangs' You at the top. In high, they make it shorter, to get trrough the queue quciker

pretty cool engineered ride-----

I don´t honestly know how old this is, if you find out I´d be interested to know. Thanks for the comment, Regards, Bri

Any new rides would be good and will help keep the park fresh! Cheers, Regards, Bri

super

Wish this ride was still there :/

I'm going today!!!

I wonder if there is anything like that in las vegas nevada USA.

I have got to ride it

this isnt at flimingo land no more :( i loved it

Bless..you might like the replacement even more!

brave brave BRAVE souls :D

Lol! I so want to find this and ride it!

R.I.P Tidal Wave :'(

Is this ride not there anymore?

mumbo jumbo is awesome first went on it when I was 13

@CR33 T3CK it hasn't anymore, the ride in Japan has and saw is behind it I think

You are so right, it takes longer to get on & off than to actually ride it. It seems such a shame! thanks for the Coment! Regards as ever, Bri

Never got to ride this cos when i went last mumbo jumbo replaced it but it looks good :)

Yes

Been on this loads it was sick

What have they bought from alton?
