  Anyone planning on going to Lapland New Forest?

I'd suggest you do a little light googling before you do....
I've blogged about it here :-

Was watching this on South Today tonight.

Feel sorry for the kids & also the parents etc that have spent money visiting that place.

"between each cabin are Santa's live animals: ranging from geese to baby ostriches, husky team to reindeer - all resting before the big day ahead."

I can live with the concept of reindeer at Christmas, but ostriches??

I'm pretty sure the geese won't be peeling back the stickers on the advent calendar either!

I laughed when I saw it on the news as it was so bad I couldn't believe it. I feel sorry for the kids. Surely you can see how s**t it is before you pay the £25 entry fee?

  Re: Anyone planning on going to Lapland New Forest?

Photos have been uploaded to the original site - || Lapland New Forest ||

These all look great but there's one difference between these and the photos on the BBC - the time of day.

The park clearly looks as intended when it's dark. If this was the case, why were tickets sold for daytime (other than to maximise revenue?)?

I imagine if people went when it was dark there would have been less complaints. If I had visited and saw the views depicted in the pictures the BBC have uploaded, I'd not be a happy bunny. If I saw the views as depicted by the actual photos on the main site, I'd be significantly happier.

Poor business sense seems to have turned a great theoretical idea into a chaotic one. Plenty of PR, just the wrong kind.

My 2p.

Just looking at the whois info for the website and it's showing as only being registered yesterday!

Guess they decided to get nominet to delete the domain & someone else has picked it up again!

They managed to get you there as well, becuase you could only book tickets 5+ days or more in advance of going

  Re: Anyone planning on going to Lapland New Forest?

I was impressed by this at the bottom of their official statement :-

Quote:
Work Wanted: Errrr ... don't snarl ... smile ... the designer of this highly successful marketing campaign is looking for the next project ... maybe something less headline.

Does anyone require an effective marketing campaign: websites / artwork / seo etc with guru conversion %?

PLEASE don't contact me about your refunds or complaints ... it has nothing to do with me and is not my decision ... I'm just working my butt off day & night through the craziness and so sad misery to provide every one of you with accurate information and a clear communication means for the sheer love and honour of it.

If you wish to communicate - only nice genuine relevant emails get past my junk filter here. Thank you.

BE Happy.
