And it have been nine since it first came to the event quite a few years ago now we ate £1 yeah let’s go have a ride I’ll take you one worth pointing out quite a lot of the rides you can actually pay contactless at the ride entrances also
You can put quite a lot of them online as well or you can go to the tokens Booth if you prefer to do that let’s go and ride look at all the stuff on here there loads you start to climb up the lift though yeah this been coming to the events is
2016 look at this beautiful ride as comes over from Germany on 50 trucks wow so yeah it’s expensive to ride but it’s more than worth it 50 trucks to bring this bad boy over and what a cracking view they’ve actually changed quite a lot of the layout for the event this year they
Actually brought in a fast track which I’m not too keen on yeah it’s 12 to Fast Track IT 11 normally here we go oh wow down it in the back woo woohoo through the LM ring wo it’s such a smooth ride you do find the over the shoulder restraint does get
Quite tight on your shoulders though there we go two more Loops woo oh it’s iconic the biggest transformable coaster worldwide back here in London hey you know what’s coming up bit of a helix Helix Helix it’s a good long ride as well one little drop and down into the
Brakes oh beautifully smooth it’s so so well maintained and looked after that ride it’s a beautiful coaster if you’re coming to this event you’ve got to give it a go unit looping incredible the sun’s going down as well they’re on the first day of the
Event I love that coat a it I’m so glad that it’s back again at the event for this year iconic it really is and yeah it’s a huge part of what Winter Wonderland is all about oh next going on Airborne just over here this is a
Monster of a ride it really is you going to come on Charlotte oh no you might be wondering why I was on Olympia alumin it really hurts my shoulder I don’t like the restraints on there I did mention it just about the shoulders on there get so
Tight it’s a fantastic Coter but I’m just not a fan of the restraint it’s very smooth though which is nice yeah the restraints do take away from it I wish it was just a lap bar on there but still you’ve got to ride it uh when he
Comes to this event I’ve got to anyway I can stand it sh but I have to a few times before Oh you have fantastic there’s Aon just over there which is that big starf it’s steampunk themed that one and yeah mentioned just about the fast track being one pound more
Seems a bit silly really how they’ve brought it in at an event like this and also worth pointing out I noticed people were paying for Fast Track and weren’t actually getting it right up until the train itself you get fast track to the station but not onto the train and the
Queue wasn’t even it was just out the station so really it was a waste of time yeah so it’s worth pointing that out so this is a kmg speed 32 it’s an awesome ride and yeah with the sun going down now here in London we’ll get some
Awesome views from up here at the top on Airborne yeah this is priced at £8 worth it such a monster of a ride like this yeah let’s go on it’s airb here at Winter Wonderland 2023 and we go all the way to the top we going to get some awesome views there
Charlotte down there oh wow soon we going to see that light in a second you’re going to get an epic view over London and that’s it right there wow course get on Hangover later as well do that in the dark so we can see all the lights yeah this a cracking ride on
The other side is already loaded up so we’re straight in with the cycle which means we’ll get hled at the top at the end oh wow this thing is massive waiting about 10 minutes seems like it’s running on slightly reduced capacity compared to noral actually got some empty seats
W I love it spinning upside down so high up on this woo oh W towering over so many of the rides wow see Charlotte waving down there woo beautiful great machine for 8 as well oh saw the London Eye upside down over there yeah if you’re on the other side w
W comment down below if you’ve been on Airborne before or if you’d love to give it a go I don’t this guy next to is enjoying it the good thing is not too cold tonight actually like normally and have me add some gloves on at the start of
Winter wonderland but it’s all right woo pretty good cyle as well woo wow you feeling dizzy yet viewers who wow that’s say feel starting to slow down yeah a couple of minutes of action which is great Oh wow I tell you what the wheel’s looking nice it feel like the updated the lighting package on there it’s looking really good so because we loaded up second that means we’re going to hold at the top but it justes mean we can look out and enjoy these awesome views
Oh them lights are bright how nice is this oh the wheel yeah you got yosa the circuses back the Bavarian Village down there as well and this view only keeps getting better the darker it gets wow I’ll see you when I come off 10 out of 10 there for a ride
On Airborne it’s huge it’s sportable and it’s the views that you get from there as well it’s incredible it really is I like doing one of the high up rides kind of in the daytime and then also another one at night yeah probably hangover a go later oh yeah that was awesome yeah
Really really good cycle as well couple of awesome rides there to start off our evening here at Winter Wonderland and yeah we’re going to walk around show you all the rides in this Vlog and the different prices you got the Mannings bumper cars over there six tokens yeah6
Pound to ride per car so obvious you can put two of you in a vehicle we right next door you got XXL oh looks really impressive XXL just here with its awesome lighting package look at that sky tonight as well from a winter Sky 8B to
Ride yeah I do like XXL sometimes though they’re going to be a bit stingy on the Cycles but yeah is a great attraction this is massive driving home for Christmas £4 for an adult and £3 for a child for Christmas party just here or xas parties they’ve got it up there for
Short the Miami ride it always looks the part doesn’t it it’s the Haunted Mansion Just Over Here I like how they put it at the edge of the event with all the trees behind it as well as the thing positioning at this event is always really
Good7 for an adult 6 pound for a child quite expensive but it is a good ride it is pretty short though it doesn’t go that far back however it cly looks theart doesn’t it I’ve been on this many times over the years again each year try
And Vary up the rid of course that we go on we’ll always go around and show you the different attractions on offer and yeah we got some new bits to see this year which I’m looking forward to yeah Haunted Mansion and you got Aon oist over here
As well that’s £5 for an adult £4 for a child yeah not too bad at all and again the lighting on here is awesome I was talking about the cycle on XXL it’s actually still going over there so it’s got no Queue at the moment so if you are
Going to ride some of these rides you are better doing them earlier on cuz you will get longer cycles of course better value for money oh look at lopin though beautiful they have so many nice bars and places to eat here at this event and
Kind of how it all started was that and also a market all those years ago and he’s gradually growing to have more and more rides look at hangover just over there police department fun house this was really good yeah it was new at last year’s event it’s come back and he’s in
A slightly different location however I think it really works here it’s nice look at that all the lighting on there it is a massive fun house you got some good good views some up at the top there’s hangover oh beautiful you got Gladiator us over here
Too let have a look at the prices yeah I’ll probably give this fun hour to go I do like this but I think first we’re going to get another coaster in and charlott’s first ride at the night so one of my favorites wild mouse XXL is not at the eventage year I’m absolutely
GED but we have got an alternative it’s wild mouse so yeah wild mouse XXL decided to stay in Germany this year however they have brought in the wild mes here and we’re going to give this a go it is smaller however it still look looks really impressive some great lighting
The big sign up there and yeah I’m really looking forward to giving this a go I don’t think this one’s got a fun house in the que line though and yeah I do miss seeing XXL here however we’re going to go and take you all on with the
POV because why not let’s give it a go I do like the cheeky little mouse over here he’s quite nice look at him side eye Mouse we’ll call him just there you seeting doing the little side eye he’s a cheeky chappy I do like the color scheme
For it as well green and yellow it’s yeah a little bit different because it’s kind of a mirror image of wild mouse XXL because the station is over there and normally XXL station will be here on this side it looks fun though all blind me they went fast around that corner I
Don’t think it’s trimmed much so let’s go on I’m looking forward to this love Pa have actually got a coaster train just out here as well as a photo opportunity that you can see in that’s nice isn’t it £7 an adult 5 a child to ride on the
Wild mouse yeah nice station we look at all the lighting let’s go and here we go yeah we didn’t wait long when XXL was there you’d be waiting ages for it that was always the busiest ride they walk straight on very pretty lights aren’t they and it’s great to have this event
Back on a huge scale look at this oh what a view wow y that Police Department fun house looks toart there oh he all it’s good wo I love this hey it might be smaller you know but it’s still very smooth and offers a similar ride experience to the bigger one
Wa oh guys so much fun is he going to trim us are we going to get any oh not too much here we go W woo oh it’s nice fast that oh beautifully maintained these rides that come from abroad honestly it’s so good W oh that was really good fun is this
Going to be sharp at the end are we going to be all right oh oh it was sharp I tell you what there I enjoyed that so much I really enjoyed getting on that it was smooth it had some good forces it wasn’t too heavily trimmed and the us of
All the lights was fantastic I love those Tyler coasters cuz they are just so much fun you have a huge smile on your face as you go around it the question is was it as good as wild mouse XXL it wasn’t but it was still really
Good yeah it was really good fun but I miss wild mouse XXL so much I do hope it comes back at some point in the future maybe they just wantan to have a year break and keep it in Germany at the end of the day that’s where the ride was
From we’re very lucky that we get these rides coming over here um to the UK every year when there’s so many other Christmas events in Mainland Europe they could be out so we always appreciate anything that we get over here especially when we get new things but
Yeah it was really good getting on that I enjoyed it good fun and there’s a look at blizzard in action yeah it’s actual name he’s normally Gladiator but here at the event it’s known as blizzard and yeah it’s £9 to ride a huge booster there we go as you can see it says
Gladiator still there in the middle really looks theart I feel like this has maybe had some updated Lighting on there looking really good it’s amazing Now isn’t it what they can do with LEDs we just walking around this event and taking the sights and sounds it’s great it really is it’s always a
Highlight having this P here in London every Christmas 9 to ride blizzard well we spoke about this a couple of minutes ago and we’re going to have a walk through the police department fun house5 to go through this which I don’t think is too bad considering the size of
It look at the lighting on this too and yeah we’ll get some really good shots not just of wild mouse but across the event from up there on the top balconies straight on to the rollers just here I love all the music and all the likes oh can you make
It I said oh we’re going to get blown by some wind windy look at the car just over there it’s the New York Police Department the car it is I think it’s actually a real car as well and Stu the lights on it oh my God and a nice spin
There what I like about these Fun hours is W there’s no kind of Rush take as long as you want walking around into the car wash now you know when I was saying at wabby Holland over Halloween that I went on that meat hook as we call it the
Slaughter house this is basically what I went through when I have my arms tied up if you don’t have a clue what I’m going on about check out out the Vlog from wabby Holland this is basically what I went through but it was like really tight and I was going through the middle

Amount of stalls to there was before in terms of Market St STS but actually there’s more food this year and it’s always good having more options I’d always recommend checking out the official website to see up to-date pricing however just s of give you a bit

Ice skating rink and yeah as you can see they actually use the Band Stand that’s here all the time in High Park and build the rink all the way around the edge have the music you have live music sometimes as well there in the middle and all the pretty lighting sponsored by
Little little on ice it sounds like an ice show yeah this is wonderful and that’s the thing most people are want to do it at night hence the peak pricing but if you were doing it definitely worth doing it in the dark isn’t it a one of my favorite bars that’s been
Here for many years now and always comes back is the fire pit stage just over here it’s very nice how atmospheric this you got all the lights all the fire pits live music too and you can toast your marshmallows if you want I be that gu you are the dancing queen you’re Street

Beautiful that does really nice presented and the car held us over here too so you see we’ve kind of looped around where we were before nice Christmas Carousel I mean it’s just a carousel but it’s Christmas so it can be a Christmas Carousel if you wanted to it’s actually called the Christmas
Carousel as well there you go nice view looking back up towards the other side of the event we so got lots more coming up including more povs to share as well so stay tuned and yeah we’re about around here by that way swinger now which is5 to
Ride and here it is the one the only hang over the tower 85 m above London and yeah I really enjoy this it’s 9 a ride however it’s worth doing this at night because the lights that you see not just over High Park but all across
London are great and the best thing is it spins round as well seeing taking the views look at that Charlotte has been on it in the past how you doing it tonight no I’m doing it once I really didn’t like it I enjoy watching off oh you sure
I can’t tempt you in I don’t want to do it again oh that’s very enough I’m going to take you all on here we go it’s time to hang over the tower here at Winter Wonderland 2023 oh we go I love the show really great on this welcome to the highest heroor tower in the world straight up to 40 m let’s go oh love it the climb again this is beautiful Christmas tree ride down there wow of course we just covered all that part of the event the markets down
There the ice skating there wild mouse I really enjoy getting on that and yeah we kind of covered this part of the event but we still got all that to see out the back including the Bavarian Village which is always down here to the left yeah to make our way up
To 40 m first for a bit of a tease yeah he used to get a drop from 40 m but now seems to be the one drop oh look at that you got the battery over there there’s a new observation deck on there that I’ve been meeing to
Do for a while and there’s the London Eye you can just see poking out from behind the building do it make our way all the way to the top now all the way up oh that view it never gets old does it woo yeah all that Darkness there of
Course the rest of High Park and yeah considering it’s actually a sold out event tonight there’s no pre-book tickets available does it actually feel that busy or at least there’s not that many people riding have prices finally reached that point now where people are thinking actually
Are they going to do one or two things possibly so it is very expensive but look at that View wow oh look at the qes coming in down there oh blim me yeah take about what was saying maybe it’s going to get a lot busier later yeah it seems like the entrances are never big enough you know the infrastructure to get people into this event
Oh I love this what a tease BT Tower over there The Shard that lighting package on the wheel oh what a place to stop literally in the best Direction here now I can’t hear what he’s saying I’m sure it used to have a microphone up at
The top of speaker hurry so we could hear but now we don’t have a clue we just got a guess yeah it definitely used to have one attached to the Gonda or at the top of the tower maybe I think it was on the gond
Itself now we sit here and wait this is the bit that Charlotte doesn’t like building up that anticipation ready for the fall the way I see it is if you’re coming on a ride like this you don’t need to go on the big wheel you know you
Get the view of on this oh here we go lifting up that last little bit that means we’re going to drop any moment y wow that’s it hangover W brilliant the view from up there on Hangover is amazing and I definitely recommend doing it at night there as
Well for the best panoramic shots and like I say you don’t need to go on the big wheel if you don’t mind going on a drop tower cuz you get the best of both worlds up there you get the view and you spin all the way around as well which is
Fantastic yeah really enjoyed that that you missed out Charlotte oh I’ve done it before and I was terrified it is just saying though it doesn’t feel that busy the cues to come in were crazy and that’s the thing they’ve not got big enough entrances still they’ve tried with that infrastructure over the past
Few years with the scale of this event now and he’s a massive um entrance areas it really does and as you can see behind us you got the lovely Christmas tree ride where actually sit in a bble up there on the tree how nice is that this
Is so sweet you got the candy canes on there too yeah it’s lovely family ride was a nice shot there with hangover oh it was great I really enjoyed that and yeah also that Christmas tree ride just down there too yeah lots of toilets throughout the event that clearly
Signposted they actually got water refill stations throughout the park as well loads more Market stores around here too and yeah look at the queue to come in this is just one of the entrances over here actually only got two tents just over there checking tickets and doing the security check
Yeah it really needs bigger infrastructure now for an event of this size it’s got that big it needs like a massive Turn Style area in numerous different places Mr brat way I was saying earlier on about the bit cheaper around here uh then yeah this is where you can get the
Brat ver for £8 pound all the way throughout the Bavarian Village which starts right here and yeah I have also got one ride that’s part of it around here too and yeah I can see why actually it fits him really nice off to the side and that is Dr arjal master of time
Which is the VR ride not going to do it this time we’ve done it a few times in the past and it’s a great experience it really is but of course it adds up if you’re doing lots of rides um yeah really impressive facade there for that here’s that big sign the Bavarian
Village Too it’s got one of those facad that I can just stare out all day like it is stunning isn’t it it’s the music the steampunk kind of vibe that it’s got as well and yeah £9 to experience that this year here at Winter Wonderland I get
Just as much enjoyment as looking at it obiously is a fully VR based attraction you know you see all the steing on the outside and yeah is all VR on the inside but still it looks stunning it really does lots of food Outlets all the way
Around here lots of plers to sit and enjoy your drinks yeah just really nice around here lots of place to get your brat burst sausage it wouldn’t be Christmas without a nice brat burst Cathy Bavaria just over there too and yeah lots more live music around here as
Well yeah they have got the screens which were put in last year to make it more efficient ordering your food and drinks but yeah none of them seem to be working from what we’ve seen Mr I like how he’s talking about variety of sausage just uh he’s my sort of guy
Like you can get an incredible R really nice incredible 8 though I can justify 8 we saw one for £10 somewhere I was like no I would not pay that but at eight I can justify that yeah all these screens aren working they need to get
That sorted out I like how they got these just little boo areas as well back drop of Airborne over there too driving home for Christmas that was me last year huge undercover area here to enjoy food and drinks as well driving home for Christmas I don’t think it’s very busy because people are
Struggling to get in with how slow it is I I was talking earlier on about atmosphere this is really where it’s at the Bavarian Village the heart of Winter Wonderland and yeah you got another big undercover entertainment venue over here I remember when it was just the main hall back in the

Are blocked and can’t see I wonder if it’s structural maybe we never had it there before but yeah it looks like maybe structural for the Ceiling hey like we did last summer hey is it a no come on M here I go again how can I resist you Goose M again my just how much I miss you the the atmosphere is always incredible there in the Bavarian Village and yeah lots of entertainment to see
They don’t actually post the times I think that’s just so people aren’t waiting around and it gets really busy for certain shows but we’re looking up to see my two favorites there the band and also Joseph yeah got the appra ski party just over here as well another fun
House available down here at the event and yeah that’s also five tokens 5 for the fun houses yeah not too bad oh look at this really good atmosphere yeah there’s that new bar let’s have a look at the view that you get from up the
Top oh so you got a cracking view of Olympia looping just here but yeah you’ve also got all the generator just down there at the bottom see what the views like right at the front yeah actually got a bar upstairs here as well and some live music this is
Nice so there’s the city Wheel City Star I like how he’s up here on the balcony live music jool jooling jooling jooling oh a look there un looping from the front just here at night with all that awesome Lighting on there yeah looks like he’s running two trains now
Yeah like we said earlier on with the fast track that they brought in this year you fast track the queue if it’s going down this back thereit however in the station you don’t Fast Track that he just goes straight into the station from the side here so yeah you’re not really
Saving loads of time so I wouldn’t really recommend spending the extra on Fast Track I don’t think it’s worth it unless the que is all the way out here that bit always goes really quick anyway oh it’s certainly getting busier now that’s a great view with the wheel
Another bar area just here that’s gorgeous isn’t it with the Coter trap there just behind it how nice is that oh that is lovely now the the biggest new ride down here at the event for this year is actually Energizer here which is manufactured by technical Park and yeah
Unfortunately it’s not opened yet yeah it seems to be having some technical issues so hopefully they can get this sorted out quite ironic isn’t it but by technical Park it’s having some technical problems yeah the lights are on but it’s parked in a really weird position so we’ll have a walk around
Later and see if I can get on this I’ve been really looking forward to this one with it being the new Big ride here for this year and also I’ve never actually done one of these before so yeah I’m really hoping to get on it tonight another gorgeous B over here as
Well that’s the Arctic Lodge underneath the trees I find it fascinating how they put all these buildings up but it looks so permanent where you walk around here when it’s not Christmas and of course it’s just High par like beautiful high par but still it’s incredible you what a
View from up here at the top of the Arctic Lodge Bar and yeah the technical part Pegasus 30 as it’s known is still testing so yeah hopefully by the time we’ve walk around it’ll open up I hope so everybody see it come on and here’s a look at the City Star
Wheel and yeah pric is adult £12 child £10 family is 40 and if you want to have fast track for an adult it’s an extra5 or an extra3 for a child just feel a bit cash grab now doesn’t it with all this fast TR that’s an offer it’s actually sponsored by Disney
Plus this year as well and yeah they have got taste with the tree looks like a twinkly tree that all programmable light it looks about the same sort of size as our in the garden there may it’s a little bit bigger still that’s nice that is
Beautiful yeah it’s a big queue in there the wheel always gets very busy but like I say to be honest if you want a nice view over the event probably better than the wheel get yourself on Hangover yeah lots of other food options around here as well proper churro just
There for many years they actually had the Mela starflyer that’s up at Fantasy Island down here for winter wonderland um yeah they replaced it with aeronaut which is a beautiful starfly I do really like that yeah the lighting package on there looks awesome too and yeah it’s
Got that steampunk theme on there as well yeah nice double deck carouso in the middle that’s £3 to ride and you have a look at the price Aon AUST over here fall in love with me CH £9 for a ride there on the largest transportable star flyer in the world
You’ve got Bart ice just over there too right next door explorers rest the Alpine bar which is very nice as we continue on our evening here at high par Winter Wonderland oh they soon got that loaded up it’s off up again and here’s a look
At the yeti D over here5 for an adult £ for a child and that’s right next door to Ice Mountain I feel like there’s so many more food options this year I mean don’t get me wrong there’s always been lots available but yeah for this year’s event
They’ve brought in so many new food places which is really good to see more variety who likes Saucy dogs you can get them just over there and yeah you have also got the dive bomber another booster down here as well so I look at the pricing for that for you quite nicely
Presented all the LEDs on the steps oh that’s what is £7 not too bad for a boost of that at all it’s one of the most beautiful rides here at the whole event it’s Ice Mountain that is owned by melas of course we’ve seen this at Fantasy Island
In the past but tonight it’s not making any money unfortunately it’s closed and it seem to remember this was the same last year as well see a bit of a blow for them having this close and yeah really not great having three attractions shut tonight obviously safety is always Paramount and there’s a
Lot that goes into setting these up but yeah Ice Mountain is shut tonight it looks great out the front here and of course it is just a standard spinning in Coaster however it’s what they do with the facade and also the lasers and theming inside but hopefully this will
Be back open soon does look the part there Ice Mountain and it’s priced at £7 this year for an adult to ride here’s a look at another new bar for this year the Christmas tree arms and looks like it’s actually got a balcony on the top and yeah I think it’s built from
Shipping containers this I mean you can’t really tell CU they wrapped it in trees but how nice is this it looks very cute this is so adorable isn’t it it is let’s go and have a look inside and yeah we’ll get up on that balcony and see
What the views like always like to show you the best places to get a drink when you’re here at the event how pretty is this inside oh it’s beautiful and yeah is literally shipping containers let’s have a look upstairs more indoor warm spaces like that are always welcome at the events yeah it’s
Nice to see you get a view of this whole kind of circus area at the event too and yeah there’s a look at Zippo circus we’ve seen the circus the berserk before in the past and yeah it is fantastic you buy tickets with that over there or you can book online great
Views and of course it’s not operating tonight sadly but this will make a really nice view of Ice Mountain and yeah air and all there behind it that’s a beautiful shot there look at the coast to track when the train emerges from the indoor section with this tree in the foreground very
Nice and just over here You’ve Got traes No Limits 6 to ride Just put it in the pocket lots of game stores as well you’ll know if you’ve B the channel for a while not a big fan of games however I know a lot of people like them so you got lots of stores £5 for the magic circus yeah all the fun houses are five
Quid and 4 to ride the little flying dumbo that you saw just as well here’s a look at the circus 10 very nostalgic with all the LI I think always looks theart nice and warm in there as well and the shows are great that they do
Here I’m sure at some point we’ll end up watching the circus over Christmas 2023 yeah very nice in there yeah we’re up here at the top part of the event now more rid to come and check out snow jet just over here always looks apart with the lighting and yeah that’s
Back for this year in this nice area magical Ice King next door yeah look at that brilliant ride there I really like it so that’s why I’m going to go on yeah I’ll take you on some on right footage let’s go and give it a ride
Snow look at all the SM the lighting and the music 6 a ride let’s go on St go wait about two cycles 10 minutes or so and we’re off love the amount of effort they put in with the presentation on this and that goes with all the rides here at Winter
Wonderland it’s all the extra bits they had for Christmas but also all the existing lighting packages that they have that make it incredible and yeah we still got santaland check out which is the children’s area and yeah the doing something a bit different in terms of
Pricing in there this year so we’ll talk about that in just a moment slower on this then build up the speed wooo let’s go we spent about 2 minutes going slow and now we’re straight in to full Speedo wow wo wo nice f Woo is
Crazy all that smoke as well it makes a r experience really disorientated and very intense oh woo party party party woo oh that was good dve that was great about a 3 and 1/2 minute cycle and yeah about a minute with a really fast speed just there I
Would have liked a bit longer but yeah has got a bit of a queue and that’s what I was saying earlier on really some of the more popular rides you want to be doing them earlier in the day because you will get a better cycle start to
Show you that shot though there how nice is that so we’ve got those iconic Winter Wonderland arches coming up just around the corner in a second there’s another Carousel Bar here that spins around free ride if you don’t have a drink anyway and here’s a look at the vad for
The magical ice kingdom this year very nice the theming Is Awesome on the outside and yeah what they do with the real ice sculptures inside is fantastic it really is we’ve done it the past few years so really it’s always the same sort of thing that you’ll see so we’ll
Probably give it a miss this year however it is really spectacular especially if you’ve never done it before and yeah they do change the theme each year too but he’s always got the same kind of idea a walk through um then there’s a slide in there as well
Normally too along with some great photo opportunities so we’re down at the other end of the event now and as you can see you’ve got the mega doome just there I like the name for it not just the circus tent it’s the mega doome and yeah all of
These archways which look very nice how nice is this there’s actually more stalls down here too yeah we’re right at the opposite end of the event to where the ice rink is now um we’re down here closest to like Marble Arch St St and Oxford Street but yeah these archways
Are lovely down here it’s very pretty and yeah the Street’s lined with Market stores with lots of different gifts and decorations and food on either side as well yeah this is always very pretty nice photo opportunity and here’s that view looking all the way down the archway just there all of LED lights
Weling you in from this side to Winter Wonderland 2023 so yeah we’re now making our way down into Santa Land you’ve also got Euro coaster down here too and also the dragon yeah this was new last year and it’s moved places like I said the layout has changed quite a
Bit actually for this year yeah this is the main area for kids and they actually changed it a little bit this year you can still paper ride um like the rest of them however they’ve done like a comie deal as well haven’t they you pay £25
And you get unlimited rides on the ride in the Santa land area yeah it’s like I can’t remember how many it was now but 14 or 15 rides which that’s really good price to be honest for unlimited ride yeah that’s pretty good that is actually
Is that a sign of maybe doing that for the rest of the then I don’t know it’ be good to see it w make anywhere near as much money but yeah’s look at the dragon yeah we did this last year it was pretty good you got the big animatronic next to
Dragon’s Nest as well6 to ride You got the little train ride just over there as well and here’s a look at Euro coaster this is always one of the most popular rides here people love this and yeah it doesn’t ride very good at all it’s like the weakest out of the big coasters here
It’s a suspended coaster and yeah it’s built by revish it’s very jolty and just not that enjoyable but he looks theart and it gets people on we’re talking £7 an adult 6 a child for your coaster yeah it’s got a massive queue and yeah lots of other juvenile
Rides and imagine these are the ones that are most included in that deal if you did want to do it for the unlimited rides the Dodge sizl us over there there’s not as many repeat rides this year which is good like I do like has a bit more
Variety yeah you got a couple of little kitty coasters down here as well if you do count your coaster cruds he’s popular every year but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it this busy the I slide I remember when this started at winter windland it was like two lanes
You grad adding more and more over the years yeah look at that very very busy for the I slide wow that’s a big que and they guessing away in my opinion that’s the disadvantage with booking things online in advance you could get here and see massive cues at least if you are
Paying for things as you go you can think actually that’s too big a queue I’ll give something else a ride you can be a bit more flexible whereas if you book online you kind of locked in and3 for a ride on Santa run away way trained us here that’s the thing I like
How they put the custom sign up there and Santa’s on the back just a Christmas as well what you laughing at Santa on the back yeah just add it on the Santa sign and S on the back them little differences that they had and change the back J you like that don’t
You and right next door here you’ve got the It’s a Small World adventure which is a bit like the Disney ride but then you’ve also got Universal Globe uh yeah as you see you actually sit in like a wow it’s some wheel style Gonda and go around these dark ride scenes we’ve done
This in the past it is quite a nice little family ride was a bit on the short side it could do it been longer £5 for an adult 4 a child another bumper cars over there and a fun house but we’ll head around that way in just a
Moment and see if that new ride’s open so I want to check that out of course another ride that’s having some problems over here it seems yeah it’s four rides the balloons you got the City Raceway just over there there’s another little coaster down here quite a few games and
Juvenile rides you’ve also got a small little racing coaster over here too in Santa Land and yeah you can meet Santa around here as well he’s not out on an evening you got the Santa’s Grotto just over there it was very busy earlier on when we walk past in the daytime yeah it
Closes on an evening yeah you can meet Father Christmas it’s one of those where you can actually see Santa out here from a distance and then you go up and sit on the bench next to him well yeah we’ve nearly seen all the event I’m hoping there’s new rides open
Down here now I’ve got our money ready and waiting let’s see if they’re ready to accept it cuz I’m ready to ride it and you also got another fun house over here as well the Bavarian fun house and yeah this one’s £4 is a little bit
Smaller than the others though so I can see why it’s different and there you go that’s the rise here at high Winter Wonderland 2023 overall very good setup nice variety Shame about some of the unreliability tonight with it being opening night especially but these things can happen and safety is always
Paramount we’ll just have a look down here at the new ride see if it’s open yet well let’s look at in action we’ve been around here for about 15 minutes now and yeah he’s testing again he’s actually been testing for most of the day whilst we’ve been here but yeah no
Riders on there from what we’ve seen which is a shame I was looking forward to this very much but like say safety is always Paramount I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity for us to come down and get on it during Christmas 2023 but yeah we will just wait after this SI
Going see if he open it up but looking down for he’s been doing this most of the day Wai around for a while and yeah it’s still testing so we’re going to call it a night because you’ve had an action packed kind of 6 and 1 half 7 hours here
In the event taking it all in so we’re going to head out and we’ll wrap up the Vlog in just a moment now I love winter wonderland bits however they really need to sort out the entrance procedures I mean look at this now the que is still
Massive all the way down and it’s barely moving of course they need to be doing the security and ticket checks but they really need high capacity doing this just having a couple of tens open out of even the what five or six they’ve got there isn’t great like they really need
To get that sorted out and there it is looking spectacular on the skyline just behind us hid Park Winter Wonderland 2023 we’ve got a couple of things we’re going to talk about including something quite important that we want to mention in a moment but firstly our summer of
The event for this year as always it’s Grand it’s spectacular it’s expensive but you know what it’s the atmosphere in there that’s amazing isn’t it oh it’s on such a grand scale everyone’s just enjoying themselves so much which is really nice to see yeah the rides that come over from Mainland Europe really
Make this a stunning event especially Olympia loopin that’s always great getting back on but along with that there’s so many other brilliant rides in terms of the new stuff little bit disappointing we didn’t get to really see much of that tonight however the wild M was good
Wasn’t it I really enjoyed that that was so much fun yeah it was great fun and along with that too um just going around capturing the atmosphere um is a huge part of winter wonderland I do feel like this year though it feels a little bit more like they’re trying to get more
Money out of people I mean it’s always been an expensive event but I think for me this year we’ve seen a lot of price increases and I know that the cost for a lot of things has gone up um but yeah we’ve seen things go up quite a bit for
This year in terms of some of the rides the food and also so bringing in Fast Track which I don’t think should be a thing at an event like this I don’t agree with selling Fast Track whatsoever and a lot of the Fast Track lines you’re
Not really saving much time at all yeah that’s the thing so I’m not too keen on that I do like the infrastructure that they’ve got inside the event this year they need to work on the entrances yeah some of the layout this year’s changed and it’s really nice actually I like
What they’ve done lots more food options which is good to see but I do feel like this event really does need a couple more big standout rides now Holland Blitz was supposed to be coming last year and it never came I was hoping for that this year but if anything it’s
Starting to feel a little bit stale each year now isn’t it I completely agree when you come every year like us you’re just seeing the same sort of RIS and they’re bringing new stuff in but nothing on such a grand scale and that’s what we really need yeah definitely but
Overall it’s still a fantastic event I’d definitely recommend a visit however there’s one thing you do need to bear in mind if you are coming this year I wanted to wait until the end of the Vlog before talking about this it’s Christmas it’s a magical special time and we love
Coming down to this event and we’ve had no problems filming it um for many years ever we was filming a clip near the start of this Vlog actually tonight where a member of security came up to us and said you can’t film in this event what are you doing how have you got
These cameras in we was like whoa we know that professional cameras aren’t allowed into the event we’re talking like big um interchangeable lended cameras massive tripods however um our camera is really small that we used we’ve never had issues before filming with GoPros filming on ride we was held
There by security and a member of guest services kind of came down and told us we can film but we’ve got to kind of keep it on the lowdown um which I find really bizarre people come to this event to capture their memories capture Christmas and also it’s promoting the
Event we’re not the only ones there’s been a lot of people who’ve had issues and I think that’s such a shame for such a brilliant event to have a bit of a silly rule really oh no we was training with security he was really nice about
It but he was basically saying you can’t film Tik toks if you film it they’re going to come and approach you and say look what are you doing basically I just it wasn’t a fan of it at all it’s such a shame it is a real shame for such an
Impressive event it kind of left a bit of a s after that it was like you know but we’ve made the most of it tonight I wanted to wait until the end before we mentioned it but still I wanted to make you aware if you are coming um they
Don’t like any sort of Photography even on a phone he said if you see someone like vlogging on a mobile phone he go up and ask what they’re doing but then we’ve been told that we could film tonight and keep on the low so I’m not
Keep it very on the low I’m not too sure what the official rule is but still we’ve been supporting this event for years we’ always come down find it a little bit disappointing that we want to be like that um but yeah it is what it is unfortunately but there we go let’s
On a high it’s still very impressive here in London it needs some changes needs some freshing up and we need to sort out what the hell’s going on there with that very strange rule with photography millions of people visit this every year it’s one of the biggest
Uh events to ever happen in the calendar in the world they need to get that sorted but there we go thanks for joining us here on theme park worldwide I’m sure we’ll be back again at some point before Christmas and we’ll get another Vlog with on R PVS for you all
No matter what I’ll be filming at this event but thanks so much for joining us and that leaves us with one final thing to say get out there and keep on riding we’ll see you in the next Video
