Tom Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7iiyBtlsnQHope this comes back to Winter Wonderland for next year, couldn't make it this year and haven't seen a Supernova since Boneshaker disappeared. Boneshaker was my favourite ride at the Towers when I was younger and I remembered crying when it was gone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TraX Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Went to Winter Wonderland tonight. Nothing major to get excited about and £6 for the big rides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted November 19, 2011 Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 .... 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted December 4, 2011 Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be going to get ripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Earning £120 but not making £120 profit! Luke_A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 No, probably about £115 profit. How generous of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 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!

c1hrisin Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Wow that looks amazing but the roller floor in the queue looks like a killer how have H&S allowed that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPJames Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluk Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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.

TPJames Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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.

TPJames Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_A Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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.

TPJames Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 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!!
