Luke_A Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 The reason Wilde Maus XXL parks at Thorpe Park is because German showman Max Eberhard, the owner of Wilde Maus XXL, is also the general manager of the European industry renowned roller coaster construction company, RCS. RCS have worked with Merlin on many occasions including for the construction of The Swarm. Max uses his company to construct Wilde Maus XXL at every event it attends. http://www.rcsgmbh.eu GladiatorFanKyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EC! Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Does anyone know what rides have been confirmed for Winter Wonderland yet, apart from Wilde Maus XXL obviously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Power Tower 2 of course! Mannings showtime, mannings tornado. All of mannings rides will be going of courss unless they get sold in the mean time which is highly unlikely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Pull on has started, I highly reccomend you keep up with this page if you want to see the full line up: https://www.facebook.com/hydeparkwinterwonderlandunofficial Nothing is 100% confirmed until it has pulled on unfortunately, however I can tell you the Wild Maus XXL and Manning's tornado are now on site along with the circus and a couple of smaller rides/attractions. I can tell you what to expect though however; -Power tower 2. -Air. -Gladiator turbine and Euro Coaster. -Manning's showtime, deep impact and thriller rollercoaster(as well as new ride!) -Mellors Starlfyer and Ice Mountain rollercoaster. That's all I know that definitely should be going unless problems happen. I would expect the regulars however again this year; WW express, snow jet, avalanche waltzer, Dodgems, fun houses etc. There are going to be some new attractions this year however nothing is confirmed so I suggest you stay tuned to the above or to this page, I will post if I find anything out On another note of returning rides, rock rage and over the top look extremely unlikely to return this year.

GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ah the avalanche waltzer may not be going this year! As there is a winter wonderland in cambridge this year and thurstons will be the leaseholder for the fair so their rides will be going! We dont know as yet which event avalanche will be attending!

GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have awesome news! There will be a travelling river rapids at winter wonderland this year! Personally I am very excited by this! Gladiator will be returning and thank goodness will not be attending hong kong!

TPJames Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I have a feeling it will do dreadfully, it's way too cold to get soaked at this time of year and most people would rather have a hot chocolate than be getting splashed on a water ride. Also does this mean that the euro coaster won't be returning? As I fear that the rapids will gain a dramatic loss in revenue compared to euro coaster. Starflyer has also pulled on as well as gladiator mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWOAfanMalcolm Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 it's way too cold to get soaked at this time of year and most people would rather have a hot chocolate than be getting splashed on a water ride. The thing is some people don't think like that the amount of times I have been at Chessington when it has been freezing and once even snowing and people on rameses were still shouting water water. Do agree though would rather have a coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 The travelling rapids don't get you that wet actually, it's the same as the one at West Midlands or Lightwater both of which are good fun and hardly get you wet! It's something different to the event which is always great to see! Excited to see Thriller back as well as I really enjoyed that coaster last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Alpine thriller confirmed seen being built here at hyde park! Here is the starflyer! Does anyone know what this coaster is I am not sure Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 To be honest I highly doubt that it will do badly. When I was at adventure island there were tons of people going on the rides in the pouring rain! So a water ride in the cold wont do much harm haha! Also the owners of the ride might be providing ponchos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm sure people have seen the website, but thought I'd say that it reads... This year sees no less than three roller coasters at Winter Wonderland including the exciting new Wilde Maus XXL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Tbh Dean I think they haven't updated the website yet as it was there last year so definately not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Rides that turned up today are Gladiator and a few others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I believe it may be the ice mountain EC. Unsure but it has a blue track like icemountain did so its likely that it is as its owned by mellors who own the starflyer and that also turned up.

GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Mellors, anderton and rowlands, matthews mouses are all blue so it could be either one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Pretty sure that blue coaster is the spinny coaster they had in the dark last year (if it was Ice Mountain then yeah that ) Funky looking Quantum thing. Yellow is Thriller not sure what the grey is. Ghost train? Guessing this confirms this. I'm sold Trains. Yeah this is back. OMG YES!!!!! All photos from Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Unofficial on FB, just nice to see some photos of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just wanted to say a map has been released but I am unable to upload it so maybe someone else could? Looks like a better line up this year however they don't seem to be able to expand the area in order to reduce the amount of congestion on the pathways in peak times. This year sees the returning of all four rollercoasters along with the new addition of the river rapids. Many of the flat rides from last year are returning such as Air, Power tower 2, Gladiator, Rock rage, snow jet and winter wonderland express. However what appears to be the main new addition this year according to the map is XXL, hoping this is KMG XXL as that model looks like an insane ride. Looks like it is going to be a good year for winter wonderland, I imagine it will be very popular like previous years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 The UK's number 1 KMG inversion Rock Rage is back at winter wonderland this year!!!! This is a surprise to me but its a wonderful surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (Sorry for double posting) there will be two waltzers this year and also a XXL will be attending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Pretty much all built up for this year now, and getting prepared for an evening opening this Thursday! XXL is the main new ride debuting this year, along with river rapids coming along for the first time and a new funhouse. I have to say winter wonderland gets bigger and better every year. Despite the prices rising massively, it is the best christmas event to happen in the UK for a long time and is undoubtably the best funfair to take place in England. With many rides and attractions coming from germany, belgium and the Netherlands, this event is pretty spectacular. The event also features a massive ice rink and several stalls, full size bars and markets. All we need now is some full sized rollercoaster like Olympia looping! Despite the price and popularity, if anyone hasn't been I highly reccomend it as I will also be experiencing it this year. It has a magical atmosphere and there is so much entertainment to see and do there! Definitely worth a visit if you can afford it! This is what XXL looks like if anyone is interested, absolute beast' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
