Hyde Park Winter Wonderland 2011

I wouldn't count on them to include every ride in the A-Z anyway. Last year they had a really forceful Afterburner kind of swept away behind all the stalls near Power Tower, despite the fact there wasn't a single mention of it online or on the park map. I think it was called something generically Winter like Ski Jump or Avalanche.

Pretty disappointed that Black Hole's not back...

I wish they'd bring Spuk back as that looked amazing but I couldn't afford to go on it after the coasters. :(

Think you'll find Spuk was a coaster dear <3
 
I went last night but only had time to do one of the fun houses (which was FAB, in a weird-ass German kind of way) but I'm definitely going to go back in a couple of weeks. I want to do the inverted ghost train, the travelling Bling thingy (whatever they're called) and the Pirate Adventure. It was so Christmassy <3
 
^ That's exactly what I love about the idea. I love rides and I love Christmas, so it's the perfect combination for me! :)
 
the travelling Bling thingy (whatever they're called)

That'll be Air, the Zierer Star Shape :D - which is an amazing ride and I'm very glad it's at Winter Wonderland. I had a fantastic ride on it today and will be going back for more at some point!

I had a really good day today - the Carousel Bar was one of a number of highlights as well as Air and the awesome Alpen Hotel funhouse - I won't spoil it for anyone but it has some brilliant elements that make it different to others!

^ Yeah, and randomly, everyone seems to LOVE it.

Looks pretty cool though...

It actually featured lately on the Channel 5 show "Fairground Attractions" if anybody got to see it?

It was a good show. They will be running this FAR better than PB did with Bling </3
 
^ I did mentioned that in the programmes thread. Its on Thursdays at 8pm for a few weeks.

I quite enjoyed it. Reminded me a lot of that BPB programme (voiced by Nick Hancock).
 
Its been that busy so far, they're now recommending that people visit after christmas. And they're also warning people about this weekend, as they're limiting numbers all day saturday and sunday...
