Winter Wonderland 2012

Lucien [Edit] [Delete] 41 replies 12:34, 6 December '12

Logged my first visit last Sunday. Looks like they've shaken up the format without losing what made it so vital in the first place, keeping things fresh.

Still, not quite as enchanting as the previous two years, but it IS only early December.

  • What have they changed?

    I went in '09 and '10, didn't go last year, won't this year, most likely.

    • they've added a bit more enchantment and tightened up the sparkle

      Plus bigger indoor food/drink areas, flying fox thing over the crowd, some other stuff. They dressed up the laughing mannequin that's always outside the German ghost train in a santa suit this year as well.

      Lucien @DaisyFlower | 6 Dec '12, 12:40 | X
      • How was the German Ghost train?

        Did you go on it?

        • You can come with us tonight

          but you'll have to walk 5 paces behind us at all times.

          meowington @meths | 6 Dec '12, 13:51 | X
          • may I suggest one of those harness things you use on toddlers

            to stop them running away all the time.

            jacques_le_biscuit_ @meowington | 6 Dec '12, 13:52 | X
            • I'm not buying one of those if I've got to buy him a £5 sausage in a bap

              He can have some touch packing rope around his wrists and be happy with it.

                        • dont worry,

                          at least you're not comparing winter wonderland to Auschwitz...unlike someone...

  • what is it?

    just a christmas market?

    japes | 6 Dec '12, 13:41 | X
    • Christmas market and fun fair (but a bit classier than the pub car park/wasteland kind)

      in Hyde Park. It's nice.

      NickDS @japes | 6 Dec '12, 13:46 | X
      • oh and an ice rink

        NickDS @NickDS | 6 Dec '12, 13:47 | X
    • Were the Olympics just a big egg and spoon race?

      If it was an exhibition, it would be the Great Exhibition.

      If it was a concentration camp, it would be Aushwitz.

      The creme de la creme.

      Lucien @japes | 6 Dec '12, 13:49 | X
      • oh no he di'nt

        meths @Lucien | 6 Dec '12, 13:50 | X
