Outline plans revealed for coastal Flamingo Land

Flamingo Land has submitted a preliminary document to Scarborough Borough Council, outlining plans for Flamingo Land Coast to replace the Futurist Theatre.

The firm is currently working on a detailed planning application to open the attraction on the Scarborough seafront site.

Plans show a four-storey building on Foreshore Road with space for attractions, education facilities, restaurants and children’s play areas. Another building adjacent to the main area will house a “winter garden” and will also feature a viewing area.

To the rear of the main building, accessed from the roof, is the rollercoaster with the cliffhanger tower, which will stand 60 metres tall.

The council has asked for an Environmental Impact Assessment to be carried out and a public consultation event will be held in Scarborough.
