Disastrous family seasonal attractions and the never to be forgotten Lapland New Forest Theme Park

[Lord Camomile]

To be fair, some of the actual attractions look a standard above the usual crap. In the right setting, I think that horse and carriage would look pretty good, and that inflatable assault course thing actually looks like it could be fun.

But it's all in a disused, completely undressed warehouse

The Circus Experience ....

£32.50 a ticket.

Oh aye, I'm not defending it or the price. I suppose more the activities - they're of an alright quality, even if the organisation/setting isn't!

It actually looks more suited to an "immersive post-apocalyptic experience" than a children's fair! Which, incidentally, is why I hate 90% of those immersive bollocks; far too often it's half an idea stretched way too thin.

If you left all the 'attractions' in that warehouse and organised a rave there, I reckon the attractions would be more appreciated by the ravers

I hope people are on to their card issuer insisting on a charge-back.

Yeah, it's not on the same level as the OG Lapland etc, but for those prices

For comparison, I just looked up theme parks in London and you can go to Chessington World of Adventures for £29.

It's a plastic horse-unicorn

They actually did use the venue for the 28 days later secret cinema immersive thingy.

I think it's the ten year anniversary of the original Lapland this year. Any plans Badgers ? I'm not sure what day they actually opened so I've diarised 1st of December as my official day of celebration as that was when the story broke. I think I might sit in a puddle of mud with some tinsel and cry a bit.

I think the puddle/tinsel is the best way we can remember the great event

I might dress up as an Elf and have a disinterested smoke

If you could try and move me on from my puddle of despair at some point with a threat of violence that would be the icing on the cake for me, mate. Cheers.

 

[Badgers]

Voley tomorrow

Not very funny. Ideal, really.

That the proper meaning of Christmas

did they change venue at the last minute because of the weather or something? They would have loved all that shit if it had been outside in the sunshine - it's the warehouse setting that makes it so dreadful...

Their website suggests it was always planned indoors, at 'the print-works', take a look - www.monstrouscreations.co [dot] uk

Total rip-off merchants, I hope they get done for it.

 

[cybershot]

Printworks is usually used for raves!

 

[Lord Camomile]

Have we seen any evidence of this?

Yup, the organisers are seasoned club promoters ...

Disappointingly not disappointing enough

They certainly made a pretty good effort with the website for the event. Probably spent more money on it than on setting up the event itself.

Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the claims made on it, such as the circus workshop being staffed by artists so good Derren Brown calls them amazing, turned out to be a little fib.

Did she actually think there was going to be a real unicorn??

Apparently the horse was only there sporadically because it was distressed

And it had a raging hard-on.

People lied about unicorns

They can sense the mood in a room (or warehouse) obviously.
