It has come to that time of year when rumours are usually flying around all over the place and small bits of information are getting leaked! I cannot confirm the following myself, but it is as good as news rather than just a rumour.

Firstly, the removals! We will be seeing the end of Flamingo Land’s biggest cause of noise polution, Tidal Wave! It hasn’t been running too great for a long time now and I think now is the best time to get rid of it! There is also a possibility that Sky Flyer will be leaving the park but that one isn’t a definite just yet and more than likely depends on what the park can get to replace it.

Right, the new additions! The type hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we will be seeing the park’s 8th coaster arrive in 2009. A woodie, a spinner, an el loco? I’m not fussed which we get but hopefully it will be something a bit special.

In typical Flamingo Land style, they wont only cater for thrill seeker but families as well, which is why we will also be seeing a new childrens ride in the form of either an S&S Pirates Plunge or a Junior Swing.

Owner of Flamingo Land, Gordon Gibb has also been spotted looking around Slammer at Thorpe Park so there is a slight possiblity we will also be seeing that type of ride at the park in 2009.

So things are shaping up to be quite impressive, lets hope we aren’t disappointed!
