It's closed for this year now.
The rides seem to be mostly the same each year but the layout changes and some years there's new rides but others may also not return.
Rides are super expensive though. £6 for the drop tower, £5 for the inverted coaster and £4 for the others. Most other rides are either £3 or £4.
It's worth going as it's nice to walk around and has a nice atmosphere. But don't expect to ride much unless you're rich.

When I went on the Saturday before Christmas, it was busy but minimal queues. It's a bit like a seaside park in the middle of London in respect that there are loads of people milling about, but rides are more or less walk-on.

If they slashed the prices by just a pound, they'd get more on.
I found the ride selection this year was great, the only problem I had with Winter Wonderland is the poor staff. Oh my gosh were they rude!
One staff member to "Sit down or else" I was just putting my stuff down on the floor. And then again one staff member at the end of the ride told us to "Pick your **** up and leave there".. Not very impressive, so I let rip into the guy.

This for me as well, on the day before New Year's Eve. Loads of people crammed in there, getting in the **** ing way, gawping and taking pictures while not actually doing anything. It does look really nice and "Christmasy" in places, but the whole thing got on my tits to be honest.

I loved it. It had a great atmosphere. It's very much what I would imagine that either Oktoberfest or another major European fair would be like.
Yeah, as Ollie said, both coasters that where there (The Euro Coaster inverted mouse & The Black Hole) were both priced at £5. The Drop tower has a REALLY ****e cycle. It just leaves you at the top for like 2 minutes then bounces you down. It's TERRIBLE yet the most expensive ride there. As stated before, it's nice just to walk around. I really enjoyed the place!
