Wild Mouse
Wild Mouse was a classic wild mouse style rollercoaster which operated at Flamingo Land between 1997 and 2012.
The ride sat at the edge of the park in the Metropolis themed area.
Wild Mouse came from German manufacturer Maurer Söhne. It featured a bright pink track with yellow supports which made it stand out and easily visible from across the park.
It gave a decent enough ride of the kind you might expect from most Wild Mouse coasters. There were some tight turns and some steep drops, which made for an out-of-control feeling.
Flamingo Land took the decision to remove the ride in 2012 to make way for Hero which opened on the same site in 2013. It was sold to Pleasurewood Hills where it now operates as Marble Madness.
