Boneshaker was my favourite ride at the Towers when I was younger and I remembered crying when it was gone!

November 18, 201113 yr comment_127461 Went to Winter Wonderland tonight. Nothing major to get excited about and £6 for the big rides!
November 19, 201113 yr comment_127466 .... and £6 for the big rides! That is unacceptable. Greedy b'stards, sure they'd make more by charging less and filling them up instead.
December 3, 201113 yr comment_128321 Apparently EXCEPTIONALLY crowded today and closed for H&S reasons, with the local Tube station doing similar...Ew... Unsurprising based on last year's visit... But still... Ew...

But still... Ew... Yh I had a look on the Facebook page and people are complaining thats its closed I went last weekend and it was really hard to move around I did a video but there was so many people walking in to me I stopped filming and 6 pounds to go on the big rides I went on bumper cars and a ride called air so 12 pounds and the food was expensive was going to go again this year but not at them prices heres my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qw2cWADW9Dg&list=UUsYNLN0lVTLtf4X0Eb0Xyhw&feature=plcp
December 4, 201113 yr comment_128328 That is unacceptable. Greedy b'stards, sure they'd make more by charging less and filling them up instead.Not really a problem. Last Sunday at 4 or 5ish, all the big rides had some sort of queue (apart from Ski Party, but that's because it looks terrible).
December 4, 201113 yr comment_128329 Not really a problem. Last Sunday at 4 or 5ish, all the big rides had some sort of queue (apart from Ski Party, but that's because it looks terrible).Maybe fools are paying it but for me £6 a ride is a problem. Won't be going to get ripped off.
December 5, 201113 yr comment_128390 Maybe fools are paying it but for me £6 a ride is a problem. Won't be going to get ripped off. winter ripoffland 6 pounds for the bumper cars theres 20 cars so every time it goes there making 120pounds
December 6, 201113 yr comment_128396 Doubt it. I imagine rent of that site is incredibly expensive.However, it'll probably be their most profitable site of the year anyhow. And ultimately, that's fair enough. People are seemingly willing to spend £6.
December 6, 201113 yr comment_128404 A tourist focused place in London charging high prices?! SAY IT ISN'T SO
September 1, 201212 yr comment_140644 Wilde Maus XXL is confirmed as attending Winter Wonderland 2012/2013! This extended Mack Wild Mouse features a fun-house like queue area, has 2 huge drops and is just generally the best looking travelling Wild Mouse in existence! Looks great!
September 9, 201212 yr comment_140961 Wow that looks amazing but the roller floor in the queue looks like a killer how have H&S allowed that?
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143645 Well guys as you probably know, we are getting the Wild Maus XXL and a Star-flyer new at winterwonderland this year! I was just wondering how much did these rides cost last year? I've never been before but I'm visiting this year? So how much do these rides cost? Power tower Air Winter wonderland express Wild maus(last years version) Blizzard booster Ski party Ski jump? Thanks guys!
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143646 Guys also... How much was ski jet? And the suspended swinging coaster? NEW THIS YEAR: STAR-FLYER WILD MAUS XXL NEW COASTER DOUBLE DECKER CAROUSEL! There is a new coaster... I know because on the website http://www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/attractions/rides it says we will see no less than THREE ROLLERCOASTERS this year! Could we get a looping coaster? I'd like to know your thoughts... We may get more than three coasters.. This is advertised as coaster crazy!
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143647 Ohhh, I've not been on a ski jump for years, and maus XXL looks great. Not sure of the pricing but I'm always getting sent substantial discounts for the event from American Express, so if family or friends have a card it's worth asking them to take a look for you.
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143648 Could we get a looping coaster? It is advertised as no less than three coasters this year! Maybe something like Olympia looping.. What do you think?
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143654 I believe we will be seing Pinfari's London City Coaster, formerly Grizzly Bear at Lightw@ter Valley. As for Wilde Maus XXL it is apparently parked outside Thorpe Parks. (thanks to Merlin Mania for the pic) Lots of people are saying it isn't Maus XXL because of the green supports instead of yellow that it had when it debuted in geramny but green suits the Christmas theme of the even. Plus, if you compare it to the picture of Wilde Maus XXL packed up on lorries in germany, the trailers look very similar. As for the pricing, you pay £1 for a token. The large rides tend to be 4-6 tokens (depending if your an adult or child (12 or under)). The rides are pretty decent and well worth a visit but it does get very busy due to the cramped layout of it but apparently that is also being adjusted for this year.
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143657 Thanks for the ride pricing! I can't wait to visit! I will definately be riding air,power tower, the starflyer and the coasters I hope you have a great time if your going!
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143658 The rides are due to pull on to Hyde Park tomorrow, some will be later pulling on throughout the week. Wilde Maus XXL, Christmas Coaster and 1 other coaster (most likely Euro Coaster) will be attending. Danter's Air is returning. Power Tower is returning. Mellor's Giant Wheel is returning as well as their new 230ft Star Flyer which was recently set up in London and has been to Hull Fair since. 'Ski Jump' AKA 'Oblivion' (KMG Freak Out (16 riders)) is likely to be replaced with 'Showtime' which is a KMG Afterburner 24. Currently unconfirmed but **rumoured only** that Buwalda's who own the inverted Euro Coaster may be bringing their new Mondial Turbine, instead of 'Blizzard' AKA 'Booster' attending. Most of the less major rides such as the 'Deep Impact' Miami and Waltzer, Dodgems etc will all stay the same. As far as I know the 'Ski Party' Fabbri Mega Dance was drafted in quickly last year as a last minute ride due to another different ride being unable to attend. The best way to find out what's certainly there now is to just wait and see the pictures soon! I'm sure they'll confirm everything not long from now. It's set to be the possibly the best Winter Wonderland yet with a new improved layout and what looks to be some changes in rides in favour of improved capacity.
November 4, 201212 yr comment_143660 Do they put all the rides on their website once they are confirmed? Because on the website at the moment all there is the wild maus xxl, power tower, air and the starflyer.oh yea also winter wonderland express and double decker carousel!!
