Flamingo Land Coast
Flamingo Land is poised to venture into Scarborough, a popular North Yorkshire seaside resort located a short distance from the current Theme Park and Zoo. Flamingo Land Ltd are Scarborough Borough Council’s preferred bidder for the development of the former Futurist Theatre site. Plans have been revealed to potentially create a botanic garden and roller coaster on the site referred to as Flamingo Land Coast. The proposed development is based around three environments with subterranean, coastline and sky theme. In addition to a glass-roofed botanical garden and roller coaster, the plans also include a lighthouse structure and “Space Shot Tower”. The site, overlooking Scarborough’s South Bay, would also include an elevated sea view bar, restaurant and function space, walk-through aviary and a new town square.
Work is already underway on the Flamingo Land Coast site with the demolition of the Futurist Theatre.
It is not the first time that a roller coaster will have been sited here. Before the Futurist Theatre occupied the site, it was home to the Kiralphi brother’s Arcadia which first opened on the 18th of July 1903 where visitors could enjoy the thrills of the Mountain Railway and Fairy River.
