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

I like it. You could roll Boris Johnson do wn it then force him to the top again and chuck him down again to tenderise him before he's turned into penguin feed and shipped to South georgia

The Marble Arch Mound has been closed for the rest of the week, those booked will get refunds, and those who have already visited will get free tickets to return at a later date, for more disappointment.

Westminster council apologised to the first visitors and said it was "resolving teething problems as they emerge".

"We are aware that elements of the Marble Arch Mound are not yet ready for visitors," a spokesman added. "We are working hard to resolve this over the next few days.

"In light of the delay, we are offering anybody who has booked a visit during the first week a return ticket free of charge so that they can enjoy the full experience and the landscape once it has had time to bed in and grow.

Marble Arch Mound branded London’s ‘worst attraction’

The first visitors to the £2million Marble Arch Mound have been offered refunds after it was branded "the worst" attraction in London.

I went to have a look at this yesterday.

It's so shit it's actually good

 

[Sprocket.]

Definitely not a hill to die on!

They will never remove it.

Make Boris Johnson or gove or starmer - or all three - run up and down the structure until something interesting happens

On second thoughts they would fail at this too. Wasters all.

A simple one paragraph introduction to hillwalking

As written by an ill-prepared, tender-footed spoilt idiot. Hillwalking is ace if done properly, and you if don't have completely unrealistic expectations about the available facilities.

 

[NoXion]

They will never remove it.

Looks like a temporary structure to me. If it's going to be permanent, then why not create an actual mound? It's going to look like an eyesore eventually, even if it is well-maintained.

What they should do is sell rotten fruit at the top, so punters can throw it at anyone on Speakers' Corner spouting bigoted shit. I'd be up for that...

I just saw this story on the Beeb and thought of this thread. They might end up delivering what they're promising, but this venture has Fyre Festival-level disappointment potential...

Fifteen fucking grand for the privilege of running yourself half to death and sleep in glamping tents

'Luxury' race will be among most expensive on earth

A four-day ultramarathon covering 120 miles on the west coast of Scotland will cost £15,499 to enter.

Highland Kings Ultra, a four-day camping race covering 120 miles on the west coast of Scotland, costs £15,499 per person to enter.

In contrast, the 95-mile West Highland Way Race costs just £120.

A new way of mugging idiots.

 

[T & P]

I mean, what's not to like about the race organisers and their target audience?

Race director Rebecca Silva told BBC Scotland the idea was for the runners to "race like a warrior but recover like a king".
She said: "The luxury element makes it very different to other races.
"It's aimed at professionals, who can afford it, who want a sense of adventure but want an element of luxury off the beaten track, in the wild and not in the typical places people explore."

I really wish I could drop some of my morals, because with the access to various people/kit in the events industry that I have, I could come up with all kinds of events to fleece rich twats from their (not so hard earned) cash.

Marble Arch Hill is so shit that even the volk at Brillovision feel confident in sneering at its pretentions and build quality

 

[TopCat]

I visited the muddy mound today. Was dumbstruck for a bit then expressed my thoughts to a hack. It’s a dunderheaded waste of time and money.
It’s truely scabby and will look worse soon as the plants all die.

 

[TopCat]

It made me really appreciate Marble Arch as the juxtaposition is as offensive as a dog with a sign on it saying suck my cock.

Yep. The pool looks particularly inviting.

The 'luxurious' kitchen facilities are up there too...

Years ago I paid three or four quid to use the Harrods 'luxury toilets' out of curiosity. I'll tell you this much, they don't really hold a candle to the facilities here...

Can anyone with know-how look up the company's registration details to check if by any chance the people behind Lapland New Forest are behind this too? Because it has the same feel to it

Maddie Hill mentioned her younger daughters have been horrified by their tent being subsequent to a graveyard

Its got to be the same people behind Lapland
