Winter wonderland, Hyde park 2012

[TPJames]

Hey guys, today I visited winter wonderland in hyde park and had an awesome time; here is my review of what to ride and what not to ride.

So, I started by looking round the angels market, breathing in all the delicious smells and I have to admit the food looked delicious, however the prices were high, extremely high! We headed over towards the alpine adventures zone to start with and noticed the wild mouse XXL going with empty carriages, infact the whole park was absolutely empty! We payed £6 each to ride the mouse and joined the queue(well there wasn't a queue but whatever!) the funhouse features in the queue were awesome however it was rather disappointing that they didn't bother to turn all of them on. The mouse was fun but not one of the best rides I had been on, however me and my friends extremely enjoyed it! After that we headed to the Alpen hotel, we only paid £4 each for this funhouse and we spent 17 minutes in it!

The funhouse features were great and my favourite part was where there were spinning discs and water was fired at you out of this guys nose! This attraction was great and worth the money!

We had booked tickets for the ice kingdom and went straight in and although the statues were amazing I was desperate to get out after 20 mins because it was so cold. We then got hot chocolate to warm up in the carousel bar and headed over to the snow jet! The snow jet was an awesome ride only costing £4 each and it flicked you up the sides! It was awesome!

After that we went on air and even though it was empty he gave us a really short circuit, however the ride was awesome and I paid £6 and my friend only had to pay £4(child 12 or under!) I then took on the beastly power tower which was so scary(I paid £6 for it and it was well worth it!) I got five drops and I flew out of my seat screaming(yes I was screaming) on every drop! A classic, amazing ride!

My friends didn't particularly like the look of blizzard(£7 was really expensive) so they rode deep impact for £3 whilst I had a really long, exciting ride on the blizzard booster! Although I paid £7 I loved the ride flipping upside down and rocking, and it was my best ride of the day!
