20 Greatest Roller Coasters In England

12. Velocity - Flamingo Land

Opened: 2005

Manufacturer: Vekoma

Type: Motorbike Coaster

In this launched coaster, you ride cars which are shaped like motorcycles. It is just as much fun as it sounds.

Arguably Flamingo Land's finest coaster (with apologies to the aforementioned Kumali), Velocity is a ridiculously fun ride that might not be the fastest or tallest launch coaster out there, but in terms of sheer entertainment factor this is hard to beat.

Better still, it's a perfect gateway attraction for younger thrill seekers who aren't ready for the bigger rides yet and it's a ride that the whole family will be able to experience together.
