robinschroder Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Whilst I know that Mike and Rosie have already documented their visit to Winter Wonderland (at London's Hyde Park) this year, I thought I'd post a short video from a visit I made with some friends last night to Winter Wonderland. Whilst certainly not on the scale of the Düsseldorf Rheinkirmes (although it was nice to see Power Tower II in both locations!) or with the larger coasters you'd find at some of the other, smaller German fairs (such as Bonn's Pützchens Markt) we had a lot of fun, and it was really nice to see Winter Wonderland so busy and popular. We were really lucky with unseasonably mild weather too last night! Anyway, here's the video (in HD!) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3e50i5fBsI Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuurvogel Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So that is where all the dutch fair rides go in the winter. Nice to see you had a change to ride that insanly banked suspended mouse of a eurocoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm1444 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks for the reminder to...er...actually finish our TR. Luckily WW is on for another couple of weeks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 ^ ^ Exactly, EB - you may have thought that Buwalda put their rides into storage in the Netherlands for the winter, but in actual fact they've been "storing" them at Hyde Park instead! Plus they give them new Christmas names - so Euro Coaster becomes 'Christmas Coaster'! And Spinning Coaster (which was new to Winter Wonderland this year) becomes 'Christmas Spinning Coaster'! We really liked Spinning Coaster a lot - although two laps was enough to fulfil my spinning quota for the month! Euro Coaster is a bit more of a relaxing ride. Groetjes en tot de volgende keer!

Nrthwnd Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Robin, what was that suspended dark ride all about? (0:50 > ) Looked neat. (Call it "Christmas Suspended Dark Ride" - hah!) And... REINDEER at 1:31, LOL! Great tour vid, Robin. Thanks for sharing it. And Happy New Year to you and all your co-horts over there, with joy - success - & more coasters! to and for you. (EDIT to add that Mike's TR answered the question, lol!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinschroder Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks Bill, yes it was a suspended ghost train. And a Happy New Year to you too! Winter Wonderland closes today for another year, and the rides will make their way back to the Netherlands / Germany ready for the first Spring fairs!
