Rumour has it that Flamingo Land maybe adding a Zamperla Volare for next year!

Apparently, they're pretty disgusting, but it would be nice to see something different in the UK!

Flamingo Land have removed their Maurer Söhne Wild Mouse coaster:



Dunno about anyone else, but I love these non-spinning Wild Mouse coasters, they're great fun with some good steep drops too. Would love to see one of these at ye old PWH....

Also, cant quite believe how mayn unwanted coasters we have in the UK at the minute; Twist 'n' Shout & Gold Rush from Loudoun Castle. Whirlwind and Knightmare from Camelot, and now Wild Mouse from Flamingo Land!

Ohh that'd be nice.... I think these ten-a-penny Wild Mouse rides are fun.

IF PWH ever got one my only concern would be how people would compare it the Spinning Mouse, which was extemely popular at PWH and for most is missed.

Edit: Thinking about it they aren't really that common in the UK. Chessie, Flamingoland and erm....

There was one at Loudoun Castle, but oddly enough that moved on as soon as the park closed. It's now at Holiday Park in Germany.

Apparently it's still in the car park at Mingo. I just hope it stays in the UK, I really like them.

And I dont think many people, if any, will compare it to the Magic Mouse. Not spinning is more than enough to banish any comparison. And even so, Jolly IS the same as Mega Drop, and no one's complaining.

That image I posted above is quite old, it does currently have a better paint job:

No way, they're alwful coasters, and they're everywhere in the UK. They got rid of it at the right time.

 Totally disagree - easily was always the busiest ride in the park and looked good too - just a shame the lights were never used

I think the vast majority of people found the Mouse to be very re-rideable. Probably one of, if not THE most fun, re-rideable attractions PWH has ever had. I think it was a mistake getting rid.

 If we did not have Wipeout and mouse was still there then Jolly an mouse would be the ONLY thrill rides in PWH... cant count fireball anymore as its now a kids ride despite it being 10 years old this season

The Wild Mouse from Mingo is for sale on Zamperla's website, so it hasn't got a hew home yet. And that also add's fuel to the rumour of Mingo purchasing a Zamperla Volare....

So this one doesn't spin like the other one? So.. what's the point of it?
The more I think about it the more I'm getting into the idea of it returning, or a variation of it, it's just that mouse theme is really off putting.

That Volare thing looks awesome, why can't we have something like that instead?
