Can blow them up. Just one tick.

I am a little dissapointed here. The layout is identical to Steel Hawg aside from a slightly more angled drop. In addition, the drop is trimmed - making the "record" a little worthless. Surely Screaming Squirrels etc. are steeper...!

Why are you disappointed? It may be a clone of the Indianna Beach ride but it is unique and a one of a kind here in the UK. :D

I am mainly dissapointed because the drop appears to be trimmed. I am sure it'll be decent, but I just was hoping for a longer version of Steel Hawg, I guess.

It looks good i think but you have to remember its going in quite a small area.
I think flamingoland have made a mistake putting it where tidal wave used to be its going to make it look very cramped. Again i say this they should start developing over oposite the giraffe house in them fields as if if the ride doesnt get themed well it will look very funfairish.

Oooh that will be cramped! Although I can't exactly moan about a poor flat ride being replaced by a fairly unique coaster!

:D

I can't wait because i love the amount of airtime you get on the drops on the eurofighters. However i am not sure whether this will deliver as much because of the trimming on the drop. But on the other hand Steel Hawg has really good reviews.

Another video from Flamingo Land TV! These little videos are rather interesting, I look forward to the next one and the ones during the construction of the coaster itself.

"Video has been removed by user!" Bit of a shame. :?

A new video combining the previous two videos that were removed is now up! I have never been to FL but I must say this coaster is quite exciting.

So far, Mumbo Jumbo is my most anticipated 2009 addition in the UK, it just looks like such a fun ride. Its totally unique to Europe and the layout is pretty interesting.

I'm looking forward to further video updates, Flamingoland is one of the better parks for treating their fans well.

BTW, how cool is the guy on that video's voice!

I couldn't see any sign of the coaster starting to go up and it's not long before they open. Leaving it a bit late aren't they?

Well it's opening in July so I'd say they've got plenty of time. I don't think it will take that long to construct the coaster itself.

No, Flamingoland is in the top parks for treating their fans badly, they will treat you well if you say only good things but dont even try make a critisism! Not going to get into details here thou.

This ride is rather exciting! Its going to be interesting to see how the reverse banked turns feel thou, with slammer style restraints too hmm.

I always thought they had a pretty good relationship with the fans.
E.g they are letting these videos get filmed.

My mistake, I don't follow the park a lot.

This ride is starting to take-shape. I can not wait until I can ride it, it should hopefully boost Flamingo Land's attendance in the future. :D
