I did speak to him today and he did say that if you leave your details on the website we should get a refund. But we have today contacted our debit card company Barclays and they are sending us a claim form and said that they will refund our money. I am just so disapointed for my 2 daughters, and all the other kids who went here today and had there dreams shattered. I do not think that my daughters will ever forget this day cos I definately will not.

If Snow business had done the snow effects for the 'attraction', then it would be to the quality of the films such as Narnia. I believe what may have happened, is that Snow business fell out/departed from Lapland New Forest, and they have had to use backup snow machines (someone previously mentioned a snow machine being used)?. No snow machines should be used if the snow is done by the Snow business as it stays in place for weeks.
Just my thought.. | The snow on the trees was fairly good, and seemed to be made from tiny bits of paper. It clung quite well. I think it would have lasted quite a while, so it might be Snowbusiness. However, it did pick off fairly easily and I saw a lot of people doing that, so what it might look like nearer the end of the month (if the whole operation lasts that long) is anybody's guess. A bit patchy I would think!
There were also a couple of the foam-type snow machines dotted around, churning out tiny bits of floating foam intermittently. | | | | Status: Offline

| Henry knows full well what is happening down there as he was there yesterday as another poster had spoke to hime face to face. Although he did tell me he was on his way that was 3.330pm today so he does indeed have all the facts and knows full well what is going on. He also told me that he was only the person who deals with the advertising and nothing else - also a lie i beleive. Sorry for the rant but people like him really make me sick. | | | | Status: Offline

| That is what I heard, however the Snow Business' snow is layed down and is left - machines don't pump out more snow, and they have to use a liquid to get rid of it. | | | | Status: Offline

| New today how do I pm you guys this number???
Not really sure that publishing this number would be the right thing to do??? I am not 100% sure that this guy is the one behind this con and would feel really uneasy putting him through this if he is not to blame. I have been made aware today that staff working at the New Forrest have been phisically attacked by members of the public - so I am not willing to be the one to publish it I am afraid. You can find out all sorts from people phone numbers! | | | | Status: Offline

| Can someone post the number of this Henry Mears guy? We have tickets for 6th of Dec and won't be attending. I wouldn't dream of subjecting our daughter to such disappointment. | | | | Status: Offline
