I think Flamingo Land has now got one of the best Wikipidea entrys around. Dee4Leeds 10:54 (GMT)
Amazing, A high standard well explained page - Luke Terheyden Keighley
I wonder if it was made by someone connected with the park...Is a good wikipedia page becoming good advertising? :p Its a bit badly written in places but quite complete -- Josquius 20:49, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Wouldn't information about individual management, which has no apparent link to the topic at hand (the theme park), be more suited to an article about said management? I mean, Mr Gibb getting a nomination and knowing that he likes to walk dogs isn't really related to the topic, so I think it's best to remove it -- BrokenLink 08:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Flamingo land logo new.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

The parks official name is now no longer 'Flamingo Land Theme Park and Zoo' it is 'Flamingo Land Resort'. The article requires renaming to refelct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.26.130.51 ( talk) 15:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I have removed Owner from the infobox for the moment as there appears to be some dispute over it. I have looked on the park web-site but cannot locate any info on this. Can anyone provide sourced information as to owner? Keith D ( talk) 22:50, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
The only thing holding this article back from a C-class rating (and maybe even B) is citations. The article needs to be cited so that statements made can be substantiated. Donlammers ( talk) 23:27, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
If you do not know how to cite, but know of a source for some particular text, please just put the URL for the source in square brackets after the text that it supports. I am watching this article, and will come back and turn it into a proper citation. Please do NOT put such links under External links. External links should be used mainly for the web site of the facility (see WP:EX) Donlammers ( talk) 15:34, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
On those of us who are not amusement park afficionados (like, most of the people who would be reading this article). The abbreviation "IP" needs to be expanded. To me, in the computer chip industry, this means "Intellectual Property", but I suspect that is not the meaning here. Abbreviations MUST be defined for those of us who do not know them in this context. "ATM", of course menas ..... "Asynchronous Transfer Mode" right? Don Lammers ( talk) 23:13, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

There’s been no official confirmation from the park about the ride’s name, so we should probably leave it as “unknown” for the time being. PlaneCal ( talk) 14:18, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
