			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><a class="flickr-image alignnone" title="IMG_2039" rel="flickr-mgr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulbeesley/4143738410/" target="_blank"><img class="flickr-large alignleft" style="margin: 5px;" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2773/4143738410_1460fd8615.jpg" alt="IMG_2039" width="400" height="300" /></a>Mumbo Jumbo the UK&#8217;s newest record breaking roller coaster opened in Flamingo Land for the 2009 season.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The ride manufactured by S&amp;S boasts the world steepest first drop at a angle of 112 degrees. The ride cost varies depending on who you speak to but the average price tag seems to be around 4 million pounds.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When the questioned about the strange name of the ride its a reference to other parks falsely boasting about their latest attractions been the worlds first etc&#8230; hmm wonder who they mean <img src='http://www.ridemad.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The photographs were taken at various times of the day as you may notice from the dull skies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-346"></span>We visited Flamingo Land as part of an organised tour with <a href="http://www.clubpleasurebeach.org" target="_blank">Club Pleasure Beach</a> and had an exclusive ride session as well as a look behind the scenes and a chat with the staff and ride operators.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s the pictures from that tour.</p>
