Who better to ask than my friends on here.
Looking to take little fella to a different one this summer.
Been to Alton Towers, Chessington Park, Thorpe Park.
Was thinking about Flamingo Land?? Any views?
My boy loves the White Knuckle rides so no holds barred.
Or can you recommmend another? Anywhere in the UK?
Thanks guys

LOL
I did all the major rides at Chessington in 3 hours on Monday! LOL
Came home thinking FFS what was I doing? LOL but the kids loved it! 
I cant think on another in the uk though that ranks with what you have mentioned, Legoland has a few but is more tame over all.
Eurostar to Paris Disney it the next step I suspect.

Thanks everybody.
FlamingoLand is looking favourite.
Legoland is ace. We did it two years on the trot a few years ago. Unfortunately the little bugger is growing up .....
Eurostar Disney?? Now there's an idea!!! You reckon I can use my Tesco Clubcard Vouchers in part payment?   |

"If Paris is anything like Disneyland Hong Kong we'd leave it... Went in March, nothing like Florida one... Tiny and only a few rides... "

Naa, its quite large
Was wreaked after 4 days! LOL
The slightly odd thing is that you forget you are in France as the first language on site seems to be English sometimes! LOL

Was going to treat us......
Make a weekend of it.
One time we combined it with a trip to Legoland and the 2nd combined it with a trip to see England play at Wembley.
Love living the high life I do |

Estee - I discovered its not where you go, but WHEN you go.
pull a sickie for your boy on the first wednesday after the summer hols and any theme park you choose will be a ghost town (and lets face it - by september it might have actually stopped fucking raining!) - go straight to the front of the queue on any ride he wants - as many rides as he wants all day - super cheap deals on entry and the staff will be in a good mood for the first time in 3 months too - so be nice and chat to them and they may let you in on a few secrets |

Thanks hun - no go area now. He starts big school in September.
We just go in the single rider queue. He's not bothered about sitting with me and he finds it amusing walking past all the people (two or three times) who have been in the queue for 40/50 mins.
Has to be the last weekend in August or not at all. Such is life |

ask him if he wants to do my kids paper round, that's a white nuckler if ever there was one... not saying it's rough but the police escort has deemed it a no go area  |

been to euro disney three times and its not as good as florida but still fun. think one of the rides was space mountain where you go backwards if i recall.
i save my tesco vouchers for the jewellery shop that you cant name. you get 4 x the value. save it up till crimbo and get my daughter something. yeah am a mingebag, but considering her birthday is christmas day it makes life easier and she has never complained getting a nice gucci bracelet or wotever. being doing this for the last 4 years now. |

There is blackpool pleasure beach i know its not a theme park but some fab rides there and if you get wrist bands in advance well worth the money. Theres twin lakes near me, not sure what its like though. Drayton manor wasnt much good when we went.
Now euro disney is fabby and you would enjoy it as much as little fella.
Never went to lego land but heard its really goodx |

Well if you want to travel then Parque Epsana Tokyo. But Flamingo land is a buzz for one not too far away. If you really want a thrill then get my mates granny to drive you round the M60 at rush hour. Now that’s truly terrifying. |

Drayton Manor is good.We took our two children (4 and 7) there a few weeks ago and even in the rain found it was fun. Buy online thou as it saves you a few pounds. |

Who better to ask than my friends on here.
Looking to take little fella to a different one this summer.
Been to Alton Towers, Chessington Park, Thorpe Park.
The forbidden corner in Middleham near Richmond North Yorks will blow his mind, no rides, no extra charges, but belive me a wonderful day out he will never forget. You nust book in advance though!
