| What Rides Are At Winter Wonderland London |
G-Force Fanatics: Hold Onto Your Hats (and Hot Dogs)
- The Time Machine Coaster: This steampunk marvel is Winter Wonderland's newest resident. Brace yourself for twists, turns, and enough loops to make your head spin faster than a penguin on roller skates (although hopefully not quite as gracefully). Height restriction: 1.3m and must be accompanied by an adult if under 1.4m
- Mantelpiece Mountain: Not for the faint of heart (or those with a recent mince pie incident), this giant swinging ship will have you reaching for the sky (and possibly your lunch). Height restriction: 1.3m
Family Fun: Because Sharing is Caring (Especially When it Comes to Screams)
- Christmas Tree Ride: Take a magical journey through a twinkling wonderland aboard a festively decorated carriage. Perfect for little ones (and big kids who secretly love a bit of Christmas kitsch). All ages
- Dragon's Nest: Embark on a quest through a fantastical medieval castle, encountering fire-breathing dragons and other whimsical creatures. More cute than terrifying, this is a great option for the whole brood. All ages
The Slightly Less Tamer Side: Thrills for the Timid Soul
- Haunted Mansion: Not too scary, but spooky enough to elicit a fun fright, this dark ride is a classic Winter Wonderland experience. Height restriction: 1m
- Traditional Wave Swinger: A gentle giant, this old-school favorite offers panoramic views of the park and a chance to sing along to cheesy Christmas carols at the top. All ages
Important Note: This is not an exhaustive list. Winter Wonderland boasts a smorgasbord of rides to suit every taste (and tolerance for nausea). Be sure to check their website for the latest additions and height restrictions https://hydeparkwinterwonderland.com/.
