[Orb the Impaler]

Oh this is funny....

£25 entry? WTF

This looks exactly like the "funfair" that they had in Phoenix Nights where they had a Portaloo with some scaffolding as the kids playroom.

Absolutely dire.....

Funny as a hole in my head as I am off there on Sunday and it was £30 a ticket

Strangely enough I even asked on here if it was any good

It did look rather good on the website though

Does "k" mean pounds?

We went to LaplandUK last year and it was very good but they have doubled the prices this year. I would say that the kids did have a pretty cool experience when we went.

These people are clearly band wagon jumpers and I hope they get their time in Ford for what they've put together in the New Forest. It looks bloody awful.

It would seem so, i cannot see where the money was spent. In fairness South Today showed the place at night time and it did look better but not worth £30 a pop.

£30 a ticket! I don't regularly go to things like this (ie. never) but I'm just trying to get my head round that much for a "theme park". What does Alton Towers cost? Or am I just seriously out of touch with modern prices?

OMG really i bought tickets, can i get my money back then?

Yes, dear, yes you can. Ask the nice pikeys and I'm sure they will give you a refund immediately.

I think Alton Towers is now £35.

If you take a look at their website it looked like a goodish day out I was when I saw the price to but I think this is the last year I will get away with there being a Santa so thought sod it and booked

As said elsewhere £35 is the going rate for theme parks.

30 quid is bargain basement - this is the one we went to last year https://www.opencontact-secure.co.uk/LLUK_2008/ONL...

Is it worth the money as I might need to pull something new out of the hat to cover Sunday.

It was good - yes. Not sure it's worht 75 quid each though and I wouldn't want to go in the rain.

I'd be put off by the website, a lot of it reads like a dodgy ebay ad.

This wasn't the thread i though it was going to be...
