That’s good news, I presume they will be kept in the old mangabey enclosure

Good to see another UK holder for these - very nice addition to Flamingo Land.

On the 26th of February the zoo announced that "Magombera Monkey Forest", the new enclosure for the White-Crowned Mangabey, is complete (and presumably open). No official announcement yet over the arrival of the three King Colobus, however, they're featured on the banner for the new area.

A Special Mother’s Day Surprise at Flamingo Land!
Zoo keepers had an extra reason to celebrate this Mother’s Day with the arrival of a six-foot bundle of joy! In the early hours of Sunday morning, 9-year-old Savannah, a Rothschild’s giraffe, welcomed her second calf, the first giraffe born at the zoo in SIX years!
First-time dad Albert, who arrived last September as part of the EAZA Ex-Situ Programme (EEP), is already making his mark, with keepers confirming the newborn is a healthy baby boy!
Meet Kijana, which is Swahili for ‘young man’!
After spending some quality bonding time with his mum, he’s now out exploring with the herd. And the best part? You can spot him at Flamingo Land this Easter!
With fewer than 1,400 Rothschild’s giraffes left in the wild, every birth is a milestone in conservation. And guess what? More baby giraffes could be on the way!
Going off this info Savannah must have got pregnant by George(her own dad) originally as Albert wouldn't have been there I don't think

From this post on their Instagram, it looks like the young female Common Hippo Aurora, who was born last May (and initially had to be hand reared) is now living with both of her parents. I wasn't aware of this previously and have no idea how long ago she was reintroduced to them, but it is news to me and good that she is now living a more normal hippo life.

It's still ongoing

The new seal enclosure has opened, as I found out on a recent flamingo land vlog
from what I can see, the enclosure looks great for visitors viewing and for seal swimming, it isn’t in my opinion the nicest to look at and doesn’t blend very well with the area
Also confirmed in the vlog that the sea lions are still in the old facility, not sure what the plan is with them as I would be surprised if they kept both species separate despite keeping them in close proximity for a decent amount of time
it does seem that the area overall is speeding up, I presume to draw people in for the end of the season
lion enclosure is clear but not landscaped so not sure when they will move in
And the new area/ride name seems to be lion coast. As someone who liked the ride before the change im not sure they needed to change the name but I understand why they would want to so that they can advertise it as new
