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

[platinumsage]

it’s alright, they’ve sorted it all out now

Mocked drive-through Santa's grotto now 'magical'

The event was described as "shambolic" and but organisers say improvements have been made.

I looked at their Facebook and the headline in this new article certainly isn’t a fair reflection of the recent comments.

It’s very unusual to put out an entire new article based on a claim by an organisation about something someone said on Facebook.

Perhaps the BBC lawyers or their impartiality manager have intervened.

I'm sad to report that I went to our local "Luxury Christmas Trail" today and it was festive and magical

There is no room on this thread for good news stories

I hope you demanded your money back as you've clearly you expected the event to be shit.

'I've read extensive reviews online and fully expected it to be a terrible event, and I'm gutted that it was actually not too bad. I feel swindled as I was looking forward to it.'

This is not the thread for that sort of news.

Well, some other lawyers are certainly intervening:

Having the child-catcher at the entrance is genius.

I felt a bit sorry for this guy being picked out. From that pic alone he looks like a great actor and playing the part of scrooge shouldn't be a fluffy character. I hope he uses that as a headshot and gets loads of work from the notiority.

saw that earlier but the crap xmas shysters had the name long before the arts and entertainment campaign lot

Have we had this one? 'Creepy' drive-through grotto 'an absolute fiasco'

A thing of beauty. I think here we can become desensitised and complacent but we should never forget what first brought us together. We should all cherish these moments.

That, and what the fuck is going on there?

in fifty years they will be recreating these events for some kind of nostalgia buzz, aiming for authentic misery, families riding through the attraction on Yorvik-style electric carts built to resemble a Vauxhall Meriva, animatronic sullen teenagers with eyebrow piercings in elf costumes and painstakingly recreated shabby portacabins lined in cheap tinsel. It’ll be the centrepiece of the 47th annual festival of Brexit at Sheerness Garden City.

What is the point of the mound? It doesn’t seem to have any purpose.

So you can see the Dome.

Ugly, false, empty, hollow, costly, disappointing, fabricated and oversold on false promises....hmmm what could that be emblematic of, I wonder?

Reminds me of a slag heap

Take note, Mother Nature, and do better in future.

"In summary: I enjoyed it. More as you might enjoy a bad statue of Christiano Ronaldo, or a car park Santa's Grotto, with dogs pretending to be reindeer, than as a dazzling spectacle."

Right up our alley

Jesus, what a fucking embarrassment of a joke. I wonder who in Westminster council has a brother in law in the scaffolding business?

That cost £2m of public funds

Still it provides much needed fodder for this thread in the Summer season.

Are you sure of that?

Looks like a good way to sneak a new nuclear bunker into London..!
