This ride
wasn't originally located at Flamingo Land. It was originally at American
Adventure, very briefly before it closed down and Flamingo Land acquired it
from them. It's a shame they couldn't get some of the wild west theming from the park
to use to decorate the ride area, as this does feel a little sparse,
especially for a ride with a mine train theme. The bright orange track that
doesn't match in with the theme doesn't help matters.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that this ride was acquired in a
major improvement period for the park, and during the year Splash Battle
opened. Obviously a lot of the improvement budget was destined for that, not
to theme some extra rides they had a chance opportunity to acquire. |
