Hyde Park Winter Wonderland Vlog 2023

[@josh_9266]

American viewer here. I was lucky enough to spend 2 weeks in the England back in 2017. We spent a few days in London and was able to go and enjoy winter wonderland. It was great. Plan on going back in 5-6 years from now. My England stay was definitely a highlight of my life!

[@Crumblesoftruth]

Charlotte's face coming out off that slide 😂 That New Coat was superslick fast.... her facial expressions crack up Think that is the face most Parents pull when they see the prices at Winter Wonderland 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@prendersmack1643]

I had a ride on Wilde Maus and at first I just couldn't put my finger on it: a green track, no funhouse style queue and no initial big dip! After watching this video, it now makes sense - it's not the XXL version 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Missing XXL!

[@FeedYourGreed]

Whoa, for portable rides those look meticulously maintained. Really impressive fact about the amount of transport Olympia Looping requires to get to the event. As some a US viewer, I’d love to get a ride on it some day!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s very impressive!

[@WaccyB]

next Year?

[@Goonersterling]

It really is incredible. In the night sky, with all the beautiful lights of winter wonderland! It's a must!

[@kellycaldwell4858]

I used to live in Alberta Canada just outside of Calgary and every year at the local rodeo we had a ride like that but it only had 3 loops. There was another ride I’ve never seen anywhere else even on vlogs and it was designed like a ufo and you went inside and stood against a slanted wall and it spun round really fast a bit similar to the cage we have here that you stand in and gravity holds you in so you have no harness only it’s enclosed and doesn’t tip up on its side like the cage but if you could manage against the gravity pull you could turn yourself around so you was upside down and I would love to see that ride again although I’m slowly starting to not enjoy spinning rides it’s making me feel sick I much prefer coasters.

[@slothjohn]

So exited for winter wonderland 2023! Great vlog as always! :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@SlothyVlogs]

I emailed 5 different people in regards to filming, asked showmen contacts and heard nothing back! It's a joke! It's not the fact that this is a rule it's the fact it's so inconsistent and it seems some enforce it and some don't, We need clarification on it by the event. The event has become a cash cow since covid with paid entry and major price hikes with stale rides and lack of anything new, I'd honestly urge people to support the local showmen run Christmas events all over the UK for better value for money. Great vlog

[@kadiecj1047]

I swear I read a faq on the site about it and the emails, but weather they respond I’m not sure

[@StephenGold-kr7df]

slothyvlogs will you be going this year

[@SlothyVlogs]

@@StephenGold-kr7df Nope! Been told I'm not allowed to film

[@KevinTheSpider]

Only reason, that i can think of is: TPW is a big channel with a large reach to get people coming to the event, unlike smaller channels with a limited reach.. in other words: they want more money

[@SlothyVlogs]

@@KevinTheSpider Yeah, absolutely 👍

[@bowsersean8098]

I found it funny when Charlotte screamed on the slide at 20:25

[@TheNextOuting]

We also had trouble re: filming… it seems so silly! Great work as usual!

[@TheNextOuting]

Fantastically put at the end re the filming, it was the same for us. But to then say ‘keep it on the low’ means even security thing the policy is daft and unenforceable. Everyone has a camera in their pocket. It left the same taste in our mouths too. Perhaps worried after the accident last year which is why they are so paranoid? Either way, completely bizarre.

[@THEEXPOSER666]

What time did he mention filming

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you, sorry to hear that you had issues too. They really need to clarify what the rules are for cameras, as it seems so many people have had issues so far this year. It takes away from the event unfortunately!

[@sambee8982]

​@@ThemeParkWorldwideI'd have barged my way into Hyde Park Winter Wonderland in protest if security refused to let me in with my GoPro last year! lol😂 There is no way that I am letting anyone interfere with my fairground hobby and I will not tolerate ridiculously strict rules, not after how my first foster carers mistreated me....

[@brazpack]

I’m from the US and by coincidence saw the legendary Oktoberfest coaster from my hotel room. Never thought I’d get the chance to experience such a legendary coaster! The festival was very fun and lively and seems like a cool tradition for London

[@sr6154]

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@stuartwade7789]

Only seen a couple of your other videos so far, subscribed and new to your channel. This is such a solid video, it’s expensive for friends and families to make informed choices about how to spend entertainment budgets. Your footage is exciting, realistic and honest, shows the whole event, how to get the best out of it, and the problems to avoid. Sorry to hear you had issues with filming, unfortunately, a growing trend. Keep up the amazing work, and up mostly, keep having fun.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you very much!

[@laurawhite1679]

I can’t wait to come on Saturday 16th of December so excited now.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Have fun!

[@UKFunfairsTV]

Brilliant vlog, I’m glad you brought up the filming issues which seems a crazy rule at such an iconic event where people want to capture memories, it would be understandable if it was more safety reasons for Onride but even Merlin Parks allow Offride and they have thousands of visitors each week 👍🏻

[@Crumblesoftruth]

Maybe the Met Police have requested it because of the tension with the Israel/Palestinian in regards to filming. Don't want something going 'Viral' Suppose people still have their mobiles? Do wonder if some less safety conscious 'Vloggers' & '(Joe Public) are putting people at risks by handholding cameras whilst on rides. And not using straps on their Go Pros' etc

[@briandennehy9296]

Maybe they don't want videos of their rides failing being shared on social media, like their slingshot ride

[@Crumblesoftruth]

[@Proman476]

I was there Friday evening, the queues to get in were ridiculous. Had my first ever ride on Munich Looping, it was surprisingly fast and smooth.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It really needs better entrance infrastructure

[@Nox_Travels]

How do you stay positive at an event when they tell you not to film? This just brings me down and I start to just see negatives everywhere. I respect you saying you'll keep filming here no matter what, unfortunately I cant vlog somewhere I am not welcome.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you. I wanted to capture the best content and overall look at the event as always. It did leave a very sour taste in our mouth though and puts us off visiting as much as usual!

[@sambee8982]

I would've had a massive meltdown if anyone interfered with my fairground hobby because I love doing my fairground videos, and I take no prisoners, so if anyone, especially jobsworth security guards interferes by telling me that I can't film, they are not going to like my threatening behaviour towards them, and it can have an impact on my mental health if my fairground hobby gets interfered. It was bad enough when my first foster carers mistreated me because they didn't care what I wanted most of the time, so to me, it's traumatic when people interfere with my filming at fairgrounds.😭 I would probably avoid Hyde Park Winter Wonderland if their jobsworth security pricks are going to interfere with vloggers filming there.....

[@HolyFreakinDragonSlayer]

Hello my darlings thankyou for filming this lovies it all looks lovely I have just seen the end about you filming and I can't believe it if it wasn't for people like you I would not have even known about it or what it was like so next time they say anything just ask them how they expect people to know about it unless all they are bothered about is the same people that go every year and they don't want to attract any new visitors all the info you give out is so if someone like me wanted to bring my grandkids etc I know what is there the food options etc they don't deserve people like you guys letting people know about it if they cant be bothered thankyou my darlings for filming it I for one appreciate it and I'm sure I'm not alone xx

[@natbrookes85]

We're a family of 5, to ride the looping coaster it would cost £55, that's ridiculous. Probably talking about £400 easy to go. What a joke

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s even more expensive than ever this year

[@andy81e12]

The prices always have their ups n downs ….

[@StephenGold-kr7df]

dont get what people are moaning about jesus it in the centre of london you got to expect big prices it no different to other london attractions

[@A-ProductionsYT]

Today, 4 people in my family (some relatives came over to go to a concert) are riding Olympia Looping with fastrack. It costs £48!

[@natbrookes85]

@StephenGold-kr7df not when the cost of 1 ride can get you a ticket to a theme park. London or not, this is how events like this end up stopping, why can't everyone enjoy events like this. I'm a nurse and this year I'm doing nothing but work and can't afford to do anything related to Christmas this year. I have to prioritise my finances. But events like this have rocketed in price every year and its getting out of hand

[@christianshields4164]

I’m glad you guys mentioned the restraints on Olympia Looping, the rides world class it’s just those god damn tight restraints pressing down on your shoulders that hold it back

[@attractionshubno1]

Great festive Vlog Shawn and Charlotte 🎄

[@rampanttwattery4844]

This looks like a nice event, but the prices seem a bit steep. I can imagine an evening out for a family with food and drinks being hundreds of pounds! Nice to see Charlotte doing a few more solo pieces to camera, so confident in her presenting style now. Great to see 👍

Really enjoyed the vlog both. It's a massive event, very well set out and brilliantly themed, great fun atmosphere too. Getting much pricier now but still popular. Will be such a pity if they're funny about filming in the future. I also agree those shocking entrance queue times definitely need sorting and speeding up

[@joeclark6413]

The queues were big because it's a weekday most people don't finish work till 6 and then I expect they want to get ready before coming in

[@ShakirahIbaad]

Great blog and thoroughly informative as usual. I personally feel that The Hyde park Christmas fair looks a bit of a rip off. A lot of the Christmas fairs and German markets around the U.K. are losing their charm sadly. So glad you guys had a wonderful time once again this year though. 😊

[@xix94]

Yes they will lose more than there charm considering people don't have the money anyone to buy luxury items When I go out I tend to have a budget of 20 pound for me then 20 for my brother The winter wounder land in my area charges you to get inside and you have to pay extra if you want a sit down meal I know there has been a lot of anger at this considering the UK is in a cost of living crisis

I went there today and all brakes were completely off on Wilde Maus. It was ridiculous and that airtime hill was taken at a stupidly fast speed. I would definitely recommend giving it another go because from your POV, there seemed to be a lot more trims than on my ride today! We also got a 10 minute cycle on Gladiator because the queue was empty. Personally, I preferred Gladiator to Airborne because it felt less controlled overall!

[@DJWezzyK]

Also, this ride is bought from the Czech Republik and Niek, together with TUV has completely revised the machine and making it technical up to date and renewed everything on the technical level. Much of the ride isn't original anymore. A lot of money went into it. And after a full year of delays I hope Niek is using Winter Wonderland to sort out the details😁

I went in 2015 so I've never been on Munich Looping (and I wouldn't have anyway), is it intense at all with the double loop. The most I've done is probably Nemesis Inferno second to back row or in the middle of The Swarm. Edit: What are the manufacturers of the 5 roller coasters?
