Might be worth tuning in to Meridien or South Today this evening, hopefully they'll be covering this story. I want to see some disgruntled interviews and unrepentent park owners telling us its BRILLIANT.

- 25 quid
- ultimate dissappointment
- crying children

Quote of the day:

Elves did not meet visitors at their cars as promised, and "there was no Seamus the elf to take us to santa", another woman complained

o.k. .. New Forest-------- Lapland

Surely anyone with half a brain knows it must be a rip off ?

My mum and sister are taking my nieces there this weekend!

They went to the kent one last year and said it was fantastic. This year the rice increased (but added to the package was a two course meal and ice skating). Because of the price increase they saw this one and decided to give it a go.

I've sent her a link to that page, perhaps if they go there expecting crap they won't be so disappointed... Or maybe they'll benefit, so soon after such horrible press maybe the company will clean it up and improve it a little until the news moves on.

The whole thing reminds me of Brian Potter on Phoenix Nights.

They've probably got an inflatable penis masquerading as a Yuletide Log Bouncy Castle...

You can go to Canada in the New Forest, it's nothing like the real thing though. :shrug:

I did look into this, as it was advertised on a large banner at the top of the Argus website a couple of weeks ago.

As soon as I saw the prices though.....

It was a TREMENDOUS advert tho eh? Quality artists impression of a magical winter dreamscape. EXACTLY what baby Jesus and all his little elves would have wanted :xmas:

Oddly tho, where was one happy punter who went to the trouble of mailing the Beeb news this morning to say he and his family thoroughly enjoyed it, and went on to list a veritable feast of seasonal fun they had. As good 'ol Bill said 'Well there's one happy customer - sounds a bit like an advert...' Yes. Yes it did sound EXACTLY like that :lol:

This is where we went last year and I'm sure it was about £30 each. It wasn't worth that so expect some very pissed off punters if they have paid £85 each.

Notice how they are trying to complete distance themselves from the New Forest one :laugh:

"Lapland UK is NOT and never has been in any way associated with Lapland New Forest."

Do you think it's knackered their visitor numbers?
