Apparently, Wilde Maus XXL has some kind of fun house/walk through thing in the queue line...

 

[peep]

Lol, they've got a zipline? That sounds pretty awesome.

It's actually quite fun. It's like a fun house of sorts where you go from scene to scene in a group and there's different effects like the rooms rocking and leg ticklers to make it seem like rats are running around your feet. It's hard to explain without giving away what happens but it's worth doing once.

^ Thanks. More pics:

Looks like fun, this will be the first time I have ever been to winter wonderland! Must say it's bigger than what I had heard it to be.

 

[Martyn B]

To me this year looks like it's going to be the biggest year yet. There seems to be so many more attractions than previous year's, and the actual size of the 'venue' has been double due to the issues of last year.

^That just means double the people will go and it'll still be as crowded haha XD

I still can't believe they named this event after a CF Mod!!!

I didn't know we had a mod called "winter wonderland"!!

Park Winter Wonderland is encoded to 244 in the list of hidden code words on the CF backend

DAMN. That's bad news. The unsociable seating is incredible.

You are getting a Maurer Söhne Power Tower <3 If run properly, those rides are amazing and provide a long and fun cycle.

 

[Martyn B]

Yeah, it's been there for the last 3 years I think. I'm not really bothered by it. Firstly, it was something stupid like £7 to ride, and secondly I don't really like 'controlled' drop towers, freefall all the way!

Though I will admit, the ride cycle is long.

Alpine adventure only has 2 rides (showtime and booster) as far as i have seen on the hyde park unofficial facebook page. Surely a few must of came today

 

[Martyn B]

Does it matter what the 'Alpine Adventure' has? There's still a really good ride line up.

 

[nadroJ]

The **** is Alpine Adventure?

 

[Martyn B]

I think its the name given to the thrill ride area.

If it is, its kinda pointless really as the rides are spread out all over the place this year.
