Winter Wonderland 2012

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?
    
    meowington @Lucien | 6 Dec '12, 12:47 | X
    - No I don't go on the rides

    - 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.

        Lucien @meths | 6 Dec '12, 14:29 | X
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
  - winter wonderland; the aushwitz of christmas markets
    
    might give it a miss
    
    japes @Lucien | 6 Dec '12, 13:57 | X
    
    meths this'd this
  - *Auschwitz
